IT SITS LOOKING OVER HARBOR AND CITY ON SILENT HAIINCHES AND THEN MOVES ON. -Carl Szmdburg lun , H Q i l U ' Dedication During the years, Miss Fowler, that you have been associated with us, you have probably felt it was useless to train our minds and instill in us an attitude of work so that the Reflector would be a success, as you had hoped it would be. There would probably be no Reflector if you hadn't been there constantly to counsel and aid us when difficulties seemed almost insurmountable. It is because of your untiring efforts in your own friendly and kind way that we can proudly present the Reflector to the members and friends of Sidney High School. To you, Miss Fowler, we dedicate the Reflector of 1940, in appreciation of your patience and assistance. We hope that in the years to come it will remind you pleasantly of the class of 1940.

But you've probably heard about us. For four years now we've been around pestering everyone with our money- making schemes tor our Washington trip. We took our trip, all right, but let's look back a bit. Remmeber four years ago when we were green Frosh cluttering up the halls and just living for the day of ninth grade graduation? We were right there when it came to fun though. The Albany trip and a party were the highlights of the year. Then came ninth grade graduation and we were Sophomores. That year we were introduced to Miss Fowler and Miss Metz, our advisors. They've stuck with us for three years now, pushing us along in the right direction and sometimes holding us back when we became too impulsive. We just want to say, Thanks to them. in our Junior year our financial worries began. We had to begin to make money for our Washington trip. We started off with a box social. Well, we didn't make much money but everyone had a lot of fun. We sold magazines, held a bake sale, presented our Junior Play, Anne of Green Gables -and what a play!-and ended the year with over S300 to our credit. Our Senior Year! 1t's hard to describe that. We thought we'd had fun and worries as Juniors, but we really started to live when we entered our last year of high school. First came our Senior Play- Clarence . 1 guess none of us will ever forget that. Then we had a movie benefit, bake sales, sold magazines, and with our dues managed to make 51000. Our Washington trip! Well, if you've been on a Senior trip, you know how much fun We had, and if you haven't, you will some day. And now we're graduating. We'll no longer be together as a class. We've had troubles along with our fun and work, but it's been worth it all. We'll never forget Sidney High School. We hope you'll remember us, sometimes. Janet Hemens 14 Paul Alger Betty Barry PAUL ALGER '- A tall, blonde fidler have we here, Of hard work he has no fear, Although he is a quiet boy To the teachers he's a joy. BETTY BARRY To be an artist she does aspire, She has that inner glowing fire- She's quiet and shy, but rather a treat And as a good sport she can't be boat. FLORENCE BOWERMASTER As quiet as the ocean, as cool and deep As wise as the nocturnal owls- As trusting as the sheep With a brow as calm as smoothest alabaster, O world, we present to you- Florence Bowermaster. JASPER BROWN A fair round face with wide blue eyes, He could work, but he never tries. A schoolboy charm, a ready smile- Like a baby, he's a trial. Norma Burnside Frederick Cleaveland Florence Bowermaster Jasper Brown NORMA BURNSIDE Here ees a gal whose name ees Norma A gal who'sa gotta quite a forma. Lots o' da vigor and lots a' da vim And lots o' da ankle that's plenty slim. FREDERICK CLEAVELAND Brawn and good nature, A rare combination, Are seldom found in any nation. Yet here in Sidney we have such And we like him very much. MARY COMFORT Good in sports, good in school, Excellence is her only rule. A willing hand, a cheerful face She leaves a memory you can't erase. HELEN CUTTING A fair young maiden she's getting to be And a nicer girl, you'll never see. She hails from Masonville does Miss Helen Y - -f Ask her to work-you'll find her will'n. Mary Comfort Helen Cutting I5 GERALD DERRICK Watch them flutter, watch them sigh, Watch them roll a roving eye. But goo-goo eyes and smiles so merry, Can not win the heart of Jerry. MARIE DIBBLE You'll always find her on her bike, This young lady that we all like, Upon the violin she plies her skill, And the tunes she fiddles are fit to kill. EUNICE DICKERSON In athletics she shows much skill She always hasg she always will. In work at home she takes a part- We wish her luck with all our heart. HOWARD DICKINSON How we giggle, how we shake. He makes us laugh until we ache. For he's the clown of the Senior class, And he has the heart of many a lass. Anthony Donaloio Harold DuMond Frederica Eldridge Rose Fergason Gerald Derrick Marie Dibble Eunice Dickerson Howard Dickinson ANTHONY DONALOIO Though he sometimes makes you rant, You know you think a lot of Ant. He's always courteous and never mad, And so he is a well-liked lad. HAROLD DU MOND He's a handsome, clever guy, And yet he seems a bit too shy. Airplanes are his chief delight, Some day he's sure to make his flight. FREDERICA ELDRIDGE To our midst she has returned, And our friendship she has earned. She'l1 be a success, of that we're sure- And we give our good wishes to her. ROSE FERGASON Her tongue is always in a whirl, This pretty golden headed girl. She dashes around from here to there, Yes, to be truthful, she's everywhere. GUY FITCH He reads incessantly, wisely too. His general knowledge surprises you, But although he is a wise old owl, His pranks will set you in a howl. RUTH FREIBURGER Size is no measure of her skill, All her work she does with a will. Her disposition is always sunny, And we all agree she is a honey. GLENDA GALLEY She has a sweet domestic touch, We always think of her as such. In her work she perseveres, Usually she's close to tears ffrom laugh- ing.J ANNIE GREELEY A little Irish lass is she, Who writes with skill in poetry. You'll always find her on the run. But she has her share of fun. Neva Hard Lucy Harris Warren Haskins Thelma Hauschild Guy Fitch Ruth Freiburgrer Glenda Galley Annie Greeley NEVA HARD Dark brown eyes and curley hair, Such that make the boys all stare. Always quiet and ever neat, She has a temper forever sweet. LUCY HARRIS With large black eyes and long black hair We'd like to have her anywhere. She has her fun, and does her work- We've never seen the task she'd shirk. WARREN HASKINS Deviltry lights his eyes with fire, And rouses all the teacher's ire. Although he seems to be real quiet- He's always stirring up a riot. THELMA HAUSCHILD Quick in anger, quick in speech, To control it we do beseech. A lovely voice she does possess, With patience and skill 'twill bring' success. JANET HEMENS In studies Janet's always tops, Yet she goes to all the hops. A hand she has in every pie, Her spirit is one of do or die . GERALDINE HENRY Her hair has got a lovely sheen, And she is tall and stately Oh, she's the Sidney campus queen, At least she seems so lately. BOICE HODGES Since in the family the boy's number one, Boice is his mother's favorite son. He's good at playing and having fun, But his work is seldom done. MARTHENA HOWE Tall and slender and quite serene, She's as nice as we have seen, You must wait and give us time To finish off this little rhyme. Lillian Jump Marian Laraway Robert Lewis Evelyn MacGregor Janet Hemens Geraldine Henry Boice Hodges Marthena Howe LILLIAN JUMP Quietly Lillian goes her way, Doing each task day by day. Serious as the livelong week, And her friendship we do seek. MARIAN LARAWAY From her homemaking Maggie gets joy, In hopes of catching a centain boy- She can play upon her horn As well as she can scallop corn. ROBERT LEWIS Though rather quiet and a little shy, Robert is an all-right guy. And so when high school's left behind, Many a friend our Bob will find. EVELYN MAC GREGOR Tall and queenly, with ease and grace, With long golden hair around her face, Beauty and brains she does combine, But boy, does she have a line! CHARLES MOSS Though he has not the gift of gab, He'd be 0. K. to drive a cab. HJ strums a guitar and sings deep bass, But the memory of Charlie you can't erase. ERMA OLMSTED Erma is both calm and serene, So much talent is seldom seen, She's never frivolous as seniors go, After all-who are we to know? HORACE PALMER Although he may be very new, We know we'll like him through and through. He works in happy solitude, He's always in a quiet mood. JAMES PANARO Jimmy is a rugged man, He works as only Jimmy can. His tenor voice will thrill you now, In football he'll get through, and how! Douglas Phelps William Phillips Eleanor Plossl Frances Pratt Charles Moss Erma Olmsted Horace Palmer James Panaro DOUGLAS PHELPS His thoughts don't run to history, to art, or mathematics, English leaves him cold as ice, he cares not for dramatics, Instead his eyes gleam brightly with knowledge and defiance, This mighty man is Douglas Phelps, a connoisseur of science. WILLIAM PHILLIPS William's interest lies in his car, In outside work he will go far. His dark brown eyes attract attention. Can that be why he gets detention? ELEANOR PLOSSL A dash of pepper, a pinch of spice, Makes this girl so very nice. She laughs a lot and talks a good dc-al, Many a heart this gal will steal. FRANCES PRATT Because she is so sweet and petite, She is very agile on her feet. She is a little bit blase, At least we've never seen her gay. VIRGINIA PROVENZON With personality she does abound, There's always fun when she's around. With lots of zip and lots of pep, In social life she is adept. RALPH RUDOLPH He'll never do a person harm, Since all his interests are in the farm. In all his work he does his best, We leave to you about the rest. RUTH SEELEY Ruthie, Ruthie, not contrary, You will make a secretary. If you control your nazal speech, There are no heights you cannot reach. ELIZABETH SPENCER Little in stature, but great in skill, She can climb most any hill. In dramatics she plays fine parts, She dances her way into our hearts. Clifford Waldron Wanda Walker Frederick Weideman Nathalie Wheat Virginia Provenzon Ralph Rudolph Ruth Seeley Elizabeth Spencer CLIFFORD WALDRON Virtues he hides with his poker face, But his fine traits he can't efface. We coaxed him into the senior play, In hopes he'd end that awful delay. WANDA WALKER With that crown of reddish gold, She wins a host of friends untold. Athletics she loves with all her heart, But in everything else she takes a part FREDERICK WEIDEMAN Although he is a handsome lad, He never gives in to any fad. If he would break down his great reserve He'd gain the friends he does deserve. NATHALIA WHEAT ' In all home arts she does excell, But from no work does she rebel. Quick to learn, and quick to do, She'll jump in and help you through. Betty Worth BETTY WORTH A giggle here, a giggle there, In all the fun she has a share. Not bothered by the trials of life, She courts adventure and scorns all strife. JACK WORTH Broad of shoulder, tall and slim, This is what we think of him, He's a worker, this we know, For his records tell us so. PERCILLA WRIGHT I-Ier heart lies in the field of art, She'll go ahead if she gets a start. In the senior class she is quite shy, We all like her and that's no lie. TRUDY WUTHRICH Very shy and sweet is she, To this, I think, you'll all agree, Of all her talents we could ne'er tell, ' Because she does all things so well. l Percilla Wright ANNIE DABNEY She's always working with infinite care Here's one girl we cannot spare. She's always cheerful, to be sure, And such characteristics will always en- dure. ELECTA PACE Though to our school you are new, We wish the best of luck to you. And may you win in life's long race, We end our toast-Electa Pace. 21 Jack Worth Trudy Wuthrich REFLECTOR Reflectorville Fair Come to llcflectorville Fair and see our wonderful displays , cries barker Douglas Phelps as our new-comers, Electa Pace, Robert Lewis, and Frederica Eldridge, pass through the gates. They don't know where to begin so they ask for a guide. The guide is Boice Hodges. Boy, he'1l show them around! First, he takes them to the information booth to get some facts about the fair. The information girl is Geraldine Henry. She gives out information 140 words a minute and that's pretty fast. Armed with this data and their guide, they continue their journey to see the wonderful exhibits. Force of habit takes them to the Education Building where the hopeful young protege, Janet Hemens, is learning the tricks of the trade under the watchful eyes of Miss Fowler and Miss Metz. Then they go to the Telephone Exhibit. There they find a young gentleman, Fharles Moss, telephoning to his sweetheart, Marthena Howe. Of course, we couldn't iepeat the message! Next is the art exhibit. There Evelyn MacGregor and Trudy Wuthrich are sketching beautiful cartoons of famous men in the world. The one of Hitler is outstanding. You'd never recognize him. The Home Building exhibits the bliss of the home. Rosetta Finch demonstrates dish-washingg Florence Bowermaster, ironingg Nathalie Wheat, cookingg and Marion Laraway, sewing. Ther're just getting in practice for the real thing. Lucy Harris, who was chosen Miss Reflcctorville, is modeling in the Hall of Fashion. 1The building is very popular with the boys.i Next they came to the Food Zone, James Panaro's big attraction. He's in his glory acting as official food sampler. Even at the Fair they can't get away from school. A big crowd draws their attention to the French Exhibit where Elizabeth Spencer and Francis Pratt are amazing l'?i their foreign visitors with their French. To get it over all at once they take in all the exhibits that are reminiscent of school. ln the Business Building they find the ideal secretaries, Percilla Wright, Ruth Seeley, and Glenda Galley. We wonder if they're the lap type . In the Science Building, is Jack Worth trying to find a cure-all for blackheads. H1-'s worried about his own. lf they get lost, we advise them not to go to the lost and found department, or Guy Fitch, at the head of it will put them to work looking for his long-lost pencils. They hm-ar the roar of motors as they near the Transportation Zone. Bill Phillips, Frederick Wiedeman and Grover Masters are having a race in their tin ljallopiesi. Whoops, one of them just broke down! 22 ...g,.-.Tf-vga REFLECTOR Reflectorville Fair Howard Dickinson is making campaign speeches in the Federal Building for the next presidential election. He's promised Rose Fergason, Virginia Provenzon and Wanda Walker that he'll start a C. C. C. camp for girls so they can get to the other camps easier. The Farm Exhibit seems to be a large attraction. Why shouldn't it be with Jasper Brown, Ralph Rudolph, Paul Alger, Harold DuMond, Horace Palmer, Eunice Dickerson, and Lillian Jump there? They're trying to fix the milking machine so it will run without their help. They don't like to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning. The girls would like to stay in the Athletic Building longer. Can you blame them? Ant. Donaloio and Frederick Cleveland are instructors there. ln the Book Department, they fird Batty Barry trying to find a publisher for her late:t essay on Ferdinand and the Bee. Adjoining the Book Department is the Poetry Department whire Annie Greeley is exhibiting her verses. The First Aid Station is conducted by Mary Comfort and Eleanor Plossl. Their patients are well taken care of, especially good-looking ones. To recuperate they go to the Amusement Area where they are met by children's laughter as they enter Children's World. Marie Dibble, Ruth Freiberger and a lot of others are merrily playing Ring Around the Rosie . The Jungleland displays the catch from the wilds of Africa. Clifford Waldron and Warren Haskins brought 'em back alive. QBeasts, you dopesj. For miles around you can hear Betty Worth's laugh and Helen Cutting's giggle. They'll teach you how if you ask them. Elizabeth Payne is starring in the Aquacade , thrilling the spectators with her daring feats! 1Big one tool. Last but not least is the Music Hall with Thelma Hauschild and Erma Olmsted. Music hath charm, you know. Could it be the singer? Tired bu? well satisfiedg they leave their guide. They'll never forget the fair. -Janet Hemens and Lucy Harris 23 REFLECTOR Senior Play G4Clarence The Senior Class of 1940 presented the annual senior play November 16, 1939.

S. graduates. Fifty years last June the first two received diplomas. Since that date, classes have increased in numbers until now the 1940 class is the largest in the school's history. Among our alumni, some hold positions on University faculties: some have been teachers in Normal Schools of this state: one is a Supreme Court Justice. Doctors, lawyers, nurses, successful business men and women, beside those who keep the home fires burning, are carrying on the traditions of our alma mater. The reunion of June 1939 brought back many to renew friendships of other days. We are looking forward to a happy party at the Sidney High on June 26, 1940. 30 Q REFLECTOR Junior Class Officers President - Barbara Harlow Vice President - - - Douglas Jenkins Secretary - - Charles Downin Treasurer - - Herta Beyen Junior Class History June 30, 1938- Dear Reflector, As the freshman class of Sidney High, we went to Albany-and did we have fun! This was the best thing of the year leaving only a pleasant memory behind. June 30, 1939- Dear Reflector, The sophomores had a high old time. The class was really organized with officers and all, and the money poured in towards our senior trip. We had an honor roll of which we were proud and worked hard to be upon. June 30, 1940- Dear Reflector, Sidney High should have been proud of its Junior class because it was a great one. On November 20th. they sponsored a circus, as you remember,-The Cole Brothers' Indoor Circus. Everyone enjoyed this, but the best thing of all happened in May. The Junior Play! lt was 'Growing Pains , a comedy and a real success. With the help of these activities and our dues, we should have a solid financial standing for our senior year. Our class was well represented on the honor roll which has be- come a school aifair now. We had one of the very high rating students in our room, too. Of course we took care of the Seniors on the Junior-Senior picnic. Well, t1iat's all for these years, dear Renector, but watch us, we'll be seniors soon!

The noisy nite spots are always crowded with the happy revelers. In the Club 23 we find Douglas Jenkins drowning his sorrows with countless ice-cream sodas, because Betty Kent is jitterbugging with Donald Shackelton. The music is furnished by Ralph Hot Lips Huyck and his Musical Moronsg consisting of Bill Gene Krupa Edson, who beats a wicked sking Floyd Fats Waller Tuckey, who can play boogie woogie that would make Toscanini a hep-catg Shirley Wee Bonnie Bushourg and believe it or not, that jovial jitterbug of the licorice stick-Edward Moss! Yes, he deserted hill billy tunes for swing, several years ago, and since then he has been crowned KING OF JIVE . Hertz: Beyen acts happy, but her friends know she is doing a Polliochig she is laughing tho' her heart is broken. The entire C. C. C. camp has been moved to California. Wahneta Crawford is the gayest of all the merry throng. She has just finished translating Flat Foot Floogie into Latin. Her only regret is that it lost much of its deep sentiment in the process. Slowly, the babble dies out-the floor show is about to begin. Barbara Lamour Harlow is the first entertainer. She melodically moans over the fact that Santa Kluusvn is Going to Town . Stopping now and then to pick up the aging tomatoes that the audience in their enthusiasm have thrown at her, she flits gracefully from the room. Shc is followed by Dorothy Lulu Belle Wurzler, who nasaly narates the nostalgic notes of Bare Me Not On The Prairie . As she leaves the room, she slips on one of the tomatoes that Barbara left behind, and falls smack into the arms of Willard Steele. iWoo! Wooly. The crowd goes wild over the Andrews Sisters 1Jean Cornell, Margaret Gill, and June Young! as they give their famous theme song- I Only Want A. Buddy, Not A Sweetheart . Sour Grapes Bob Bennett cries in his beer when Mary Maxine Sullivan DeMott sang I'm Coming Virginia . It remains, however, forBetty Bennett to bring down the house. She does the Dance of the Seven Veils . The crowd goes wild when she dances on the stage clad only in ten petticoats, three dresses, and a suit of red flannels. 34 -1--1-.f REFLECTOR Junior ,Iitlerbugs There is another place in Reflectorville that is always busy. lt is Ye Olde Coffee Shoppe . This place is patronized chiefly by the younger set, led by Hester t'Brenda Frazier DuMond, and Isabelle Cobina Wright Plossl. Betty Shackelton is rolling' her baby wide eyes at Ralph Chase. Ralph, however, is eating, and his stomach is much bigger than his heart. Ah! Can anything be more bitter than unrequitted love. Melvin Chestney fpoor dearl is not eating much. How can he turn his thoughts to such plebian efforts when an unknown blonde has just broken his heart. Niles Wilcox is holding hands with Ida Ruth Green, but the odds are ten to Foster is all alone in one that that dreamy look in her eyes is for McIntosh. Ethel her solitude, slurping a coca cola. Wesley Butts is also alone, and he keeps casting Chuck Alberts is in longing glances in her direction. Is it she or is it the coke? his glory. Celia and Savella Gifford are both running their hands thru his lovely curls, and Kathrine Reynolds is casting lovelo1'n glances in his direction. LTI-IE HUSSEYS!!!J Louise Hyatt giggles gaily as she gilds her glorious gullet with gastronomic delicacies. lHot dogsj Clara Melbourne is just arriviing in state in a Model T . We can't see who's driving it. Clyde Conrow and Ruth VanValkenburg cast envious glances at Charles Dowuin and Shirley Wakeman who are gliding across the floor in an exotic rumba. Lillian Yale just asked Robert Crowford to go out and look at the moon with her, but he refused, saying he couldn't bear to leave the room while Marilyn Weideman was in Bruce's arms. He would rather stay and suffer. With that Lillian flounced out of the room, drawing appreciative glances from Paul Jones. Paul, however, is too bashful to follow her, and lets his rival Wilford Mesic walk her home. Bob Morse gives Willard Steele and Raymond Peck a lecture on the higher things in life. QThey need itj Dewey Phillips is carrying poor Ralph Shofkom home. He has imbibed too freely of root beer and ginger ale. Ralph Weeden and Jeanne Lee are the only ones here. They are at the Reflectorville Roller Rink, giving a floor show. -Guy Fitch 35 REFLEC1' OR Junior Play This year the Junior Class presented the play Growing Pains a . . by Aurania Bouverol.

She is dressed in a full yellow skirt with green and red stripes at the bottomg her blouse is of purple silk and her waist is encircled with a sky blue sash. On her head is a black and orange turban topped by a jeweled clasp. Her face is wrinkled with the years, and her coarse black hair grayed only at the temples hangs in two long braids. She bids us to sit down on the cot and after we have crossed her palm with silver she gazes into the crystal ball and tells us this story of the Sophomore class: 1 zee you 'ave 'ad many 'appy times dis yeer as you prepare for a long journey which you will take you in ze future. Oh I zee many pepul riding around on leetle wheels. Um someome 'as just fallen don. Der is profit heer for you. We interpet this as our skating party in November.

In this section we bump smack dab into Jack Goad, the gaddy, gadabout guide who will lead us in a very careful survey of the internal and external extremities of certain, so-called companies. We first stumble into one of the many towering structures and find Miss Elizabeth Talcott sitting at a large, mahogany desk, for she has the position of stenographer to Editor-in-Chief Dingman of the Please the Public Publishing Company . As wc pass Miss Talcott, we find on the waiting bench Hattie Dean, knitting patiently while waiting for admittance to the private office of the handsome Editor-in-Chief. The bench is also supporting Bob Coe, Norma Knott and Harry Merrill. As Miss Dean opens the door to pass into the office, she is slapped in the face by the aroma of a Bernard McGinniss' cigar stuck in the mouth of Mr. Dingman as he reads the Simplified Simpstn fHiramJ Dictionary. As we continue our journey, our guide tells us an amazing tale about the assistant proofreader of the company. Goad tells of James Bartz's tragedy as follows: Mr, Bartz was once happily married to the former Freda Sisson, but-alas and z-lack one day when Mr. Bartz was bouncing Betty Shofkom on his knees, who should drop in but his charming, little wife. As a result of this encounter Mrs. Bartz chartered an airplane to Reno with Richard Sloane, the well known pilot, at the controls and his co-pilot Walter Goodrich beside him. She took with her Dicky Welcher, her lawyer, and they ws re met at the airport by Judge Jump and his sister, Leona Howe. After some sleepless nights in a hotel, Mrs. Bartz gained her divorce and, after throwing hr wedding ring into the Stewart Brooks she returned, a gay divorcee, to Reflectorville. Our guide, leaving finished this tale of woe, suggested going to another building. The next building is the McClelland and McElligott Employment Agency. This is a rather small building consisting mainly of two rooms. ln ihe room we first enter, there are a great many people. We recognize only a few, however. On one bench there is Albert Courtney, Paul Allen, Norma Conrow and Uriah YanWhy. Standing on another side are Jeanne Lewis and Marvin Stoutenberg, while sitting calmly at one side we spy Josephine Patrick. L10 REFLECTOR Sophomore News As we enter the adjoining room, we hear the tingle of the telephone and Miss McClelland answers only to find that the wealthy Miss Grace Wakeman, of the Fifth Avenue Wakeman's is having coniption fits because her former maid and butler,, Jean Topping and Gerald Shank, have mysteriously disappeared and she needs some- one right away as she is giving a dinner party for the famous explorer Robert Davis. After scanning the unemployment lists, Norma Conrow and Marvin Stoutenberg were chosen to fill in, but only on the condition that they pay 99 44!100W of their first wages. We won't linger any longer here, but trot right along. As our time is getting short, we don't stop at the very next building, but we'll look in the windows. We notice it is the C. C. C. Laundry 1Careful and Clean Crandall Laundryj. The owner and chief shirt washer is none other than our old friend Dick Crandall with Ronnie Knott as his assistant. We think we see Ruth Libby and Inez Hard ironing in the background too. Fearing that they will throw a wet shirt at us if we gaup any longer, we will slip into the next establishment by the means of a banana skin. Having picked ourselves up and brushed ourselves off, we scan the surroundings. We are now in the Crawford Comfy Casket Company . Jack Crawford greets us from the midst of an array of coiiins which display the handiwork of the two able assistants, Arlton Dunshee and Donald Mudge. Jack thinks he is going mad because he tests the cofiins for comfort. We hear the hum of the sewing machines coming from behind the closed door and behold numerous women sewing shrouds. The industrious feminine sewers are: Ruth Douglas, Arlene Howe, Grace Mills and Eva VanWhy. Not wanting to interupt this pleasant HJ business any longer, we scram . To make our tour satisfactory, we'll stop at the Pesce's Popular Pop Parlor for something to eat. This place is run by two Pesce sisters, Pauline and Dorothy. The owners do the cooking and Geraldine Gisslebrecht washes the dishes, while Everett Bidwell helps here and there and everywhere. The one and only waitress is Sarah Wright. As we settle ourselves in a booth, we glance around and we see Lois Barratt and Robert Peck enjoying hamburgtrs at one little booth. At the counter sitting on not too comfortable stools are David Downin, Dora Wuthrick, Geraldine Sherman, and Louis Mazzarella apparently waiting for their orders. We mustn't tarry so. After eating all we want, we hurry out into the sunlight and take our leave from the Goody Guide Goad.

One bus was called the Dwyer Special and the other the Young's Zip . All the kids from the Dwyer Special struggled to climb aboard. The victims of Alfred Bagnall's bus boarded. The Dwyer Special started first and the kids from from it stretched their necks to see it f?J As the bus started off with a couple of jerks and some puff puffs. Ella Coons who was powdering her nose ended up powdering the left cheek of Walter Canfield. Deloress Lee got knocked off her seat by the back seat driving of Fanny Mae Vaughn. She felt something wiggle and looking down found she was reclining on the corpus of Richard Wendell. At last ofi' for Reflectorville! Charles Powers sighting Reflectorville turned on a fog-horn by entangling himself among Betty Moore's folded brown wig. Immediately everyone rose from his seat and started stretching his arms, legs, mouth and neck. Theresa Kelly got a kink in her neck looking for Billy Hodges in the Young's Zip . Janice Secrest and Inez Suttle quickly spanked themselves upon her while Bob Crandall quickly 'erked the kink out of her neck. He threw it to Donald Robinson who threw it out the window fthe kink, not her neck, in case you misinterpret it.J Lo and behold there rose in front of the bus Billy Dandelion's Aquacade. John Bickos and Gerald Walker, givin three whoops and one and a half hurrahs, started frantically straggling out of les Fenetre, but by the feminine grasps of Norma Smith and Dorothy Storms at their coat tails, pursuaded them to let it go regretfully by. Oh, a matured shack , yelled Donald Warner. Oh, no, na, my goodness no' screamed Barbara McRae, It's an overgrown apartment home . Finally tne buses drew up before the stop. Across the road, Emma Bowman iiiied a museum run by Jimmie Wecdcn and Harvey Phillips. Hah! said Barbara uyck, I know where I'm going. Now don't all of you come because if too many come, Miss Dwyer and Miss Youngs will miss us. So off skipped four lasses and four lads headed by Barbara Huyck. Of the lads were golden haired Aubrey Whitney, blue eyed Johnny VonKampcn, rosy cheeked Wilbur Crandall and Bobby Miller who solemnly brought up the rear. Of the lasses were Whistle Breeches Evel n Wright and Leatrice Kenyon. Helene Laraway and Leona Wright whittling wood, with the handy butcher knives given to them by Lewy Caracciolo and Don Howell, saw in a fleeting glance, or a flash, Marjorie Deuel and Raymond McElligott dashing by IIJI1 a bicycle built for one. How Crowded! Myron Rettberg, Ruth Herlof and John Michaletz crunching on triple dippers equipped with drizzle catchers, who spied the four lads and lasses entering the museum, started on a dead trot toward the structure of slabs of bricks, stones, boards, and stuff. They arrived at the entrance too late, but just in time to be caught in the revolving door. Around and around they went and where they stop ed nobody knows. Willard Hulbert and Henry Jurgensen, while trying to stop the dloor from flapping, slipped on a splash of frozen milk, and they were all fungi slap, dab into an extra large goldfish bowl. Marjorie Bowman and Corinne aigler shrieked to Barbara Bidwell and Roberta Laraway to hel her distinguish them from the fish and hook them out. Carolyn Stevens and Lillian Swingle who were watching Jenny Walker, the octupus giving herself a manicure, scrambled over to soo what was the matter. There on the brink of the pool, balancing on their heads and throwing straws to the people mingling with the fish, for they were told by their dear teachers that drownin men and women will grasp at a straw, saw them. Rushing over to lend a helpin hand, these two little girl sprouts forgot to put on their breaks and slightly usheg the acrobats into the water and following themselves with a splash and a splash. We will now end because we feel this little tale is all wet, and we forgot our rubbers.

These assemblies which are held on Fridays at 2:30 represent the work done in the departments sponsoring the programs and are the work oi the pupils. The Iirs' assembly to start this year off was Cheer Leading and School Songs, which was in charge of Miss Grey and Miss Howard. Miss Howard introduced the eleven cheerleaders to us all and then after we had all met and looked them over, we had a yelling and singing good time! tThis was on November 3.2 Then another assembly p1'ogram, 1 remember quite well, was the Senior Science Department, in charge of Mrs. Lewis. There we watched Polly Comfort spray us some beautiful colored fountains in bottles and watched Elmer Flickei. Elmer was an electric man who knew every- thing. CWell almost everythingl. Elmer could tell ages, dates of any- tring and could flicker yes and no , What a man, Elmer! After some experiments we got the shock of our lives when Betty Worth and Betty Barry came skipping out on the stage to blow soap bubbles. VVe thought they were going back to the days of their childhood, but when the bubbles they blew, bounced about twenty times before they burst-well, I was amazed. Cl vent home and tried to bounce bubbles, but they didr't bsuncej. lt's my secret ambition to bounce bubbles. Quiet please! On December 20th Miss Ostrynski popped up with an art assembly. Here one of Sidney High's most gifted cartoonists, Mr. Cooley, Dick to you, and Louise Hediger ran a little competition. Louise would talk and Dick would draw cartoons with the flash of his hand. He drew quite a few cartoons of people and then he ended up with a picture of good old Saitta Claus, Ah, to be able to draw! Today l heard that the French Class is going to give an assembly the first of March. Miss Kentfield says Cshe is the French teacher you knowl it is going to be part in French and part in English, talking and a cute little French dance. Oh, La, La. Well, 1 guess that's all. I've gotta go now so I'll leave while I've still got my hat. So long folks. --Betty Barry and Betty Worth 56 ATHLETICEE REFLECTOR Football The 1939 football season gave Sidney a host of green freshman and sophomores.

Each team had resident and non-resident teams, numbering about three of each. These teams played separately, the non-residents at noon, and the residents, nights following school. The teams on the White, and Red played among themselves, and the resulting Winneis of each side played the tie-off to see which side, Red or White, won the inter-muial finals. The teams and captains are as follows: WHITE RESIDENTS RED RESIDENTS Snow Drips ....... Betty Barry Danger ......... Polly Comfort Bulldogs .....

Isabel Plossl Play Days Instead of the regular girl's varsity this year, the girls of Sidney High School have had play days with outside schools, These have all been by invitations on either their part, or ours. So far we have played Bainbridge, thereg Mt. Upton, here, and Unadilla, here. The Sophomores played at Bainbridge, when Unadilla played he1'e. The Freshmen played on a team alone, before the regular play day team. VVhen playing with Mt. Upton, here, the regular play day team played. This team consists of any girls in Senior High who wish to play. This new play dayi' system is thought to be a better way of regulatiii girl's basketball because, by this system, about 36 girls participate and the old way of a varsity team, only about half as many girls took part. The aim is to get more girls interested in sports, and a wider variety of sports, one stressed as much as another. 62 REFLECTOR Girls' Inter-Mural Captains Left Lu Right.

This was the second time this season that Canastota had shut out Sidney. CanasLota is the only team which has not permitted the local team to score this season. The season was marked by two features, one was a string of losses to opponents, the other was the spurt of an agressive hard-trying group of boys who had excellent team morale and showed more ability each match. This is one of the few high school teams composed completely of freshmen. Bud Davie, manager of this year's team, wrestled eight matches during the season and won them all. This gives an idea of the value of experience when applied to better than average ability. Every member of the squad should be winning matches on next years team. With more schools adding wrestling to their program, a league will be organized next fall and the ground work is already laid for such an organization. No first year wrestler has performed better than Keith Hard, 105 lb. wrestler who won six matches this season against two defeats. Paul Cerquoz has the makings of a real classy lzerformer. No member of the squad is downhearted and the feeling of the squad is summed up in the expression, Watch us next season .

Early in the season three leagues were formedg the American League, with seven teams: the International League, with seven teamsg and the National League made up of non-residents who played during the noon hour. Although none of the teams had a perfect record, they enjoyed the sport and fun was derived from their games. Besides the fun, the players got experience for future Varsity work.

Maroon and White Club To edit a school newspaper, there must be more work done than just writing news. The general idea must be decided upon, assignments made, items written, rewritten, and proof-read. The stencils must be typed and run off. Then, the paper is assembled, stapled, distributed, and sold.

It was one of the murder stories my bl'0tl'lKll' had lying around, and l'd started it without a thought to the fact that I was to be alone that night. The more I read, the worse it got. I laughed at it from 7 to 8, felt sort of creepy from 8 'til 9, and after that-Wow! But I x.'asn't scared! After all, it was only a book! It was at about the 3rd murder that I began to hear things-footsteps upstairs, tapping on the window, chains rattling, and heaven knows what all . Then, at the next suicide--oh, it was an awful affair-I began to see things-eyes staring at me through the window, and then whole heads appearing. But I wasn't scared! Oh, no! Then I heard a noise out on the porch. I turned around to look out the window to see what it was-and saw a face staring at me! I turned back and hid in the chair. Finally I gathered courage and peeked up over the back of the chair. Thank Heavens! It was only my reflection that I'd seen. I wasn't scared! But I moved to another chair wheie my back wouldn't be to the window! It was then that the woman was poisoned. She'd been sitting, reading a mystery story, and eating some candy that had been given to her-what a coincidence! That's just what l was doing!-when suddenly she keeled over. The candy had been poisoned! Just then I reached for a piece of my candy, then, stopped suddenly. Did I have any enemies? You never could tell. Well, I wasn't liungrv anyway. I wasn't scared! I just wasn't hungry! The villain was creeping up on the hero. There was a tense moment as he stood, gun in lzand-tizen 1 heard a knock at the back door. But I must have immagined it because my dog would haue barked if anyone were around. And then, he jumped up and started for the door, barking and growling. I got up and went out, turning on every light that I passed-and I managed to pass all of them. I opened the door. It was the man from next door wanting Dad. Did I scare you? he asked. No , I laughed, I wasn't scared! I began to read again. I got to the place where a masked man, hidden in the shadows, was about to stab an innocent little girl in the back. He raised his knife, paused for a moment, then threw it. The child uttered a blood-curdling scream, but it couldn't have equalled the one that I let out, for I felt a sharp pain in my arm. I looked. There was a pin that Mom had stuck in the arm of the chair and forgotten when she was sewing that afternoon. Well, I wasn't scared! Not now, anyway! At last I came to the end. Or should I say the last page, for it didn't have an ending. It just stopped. It was the kind where the author thinks he's done his part when he's thought of the puzzle and leaves you to figure out the answer. I was glad it was over. But I wasn't scared! -Janet Hemens 94 X.
