CLASS HISTORY On a crisp fall morning in 1936 nine of today's seniors, namely: Dorothy Aldrich, Mary Ban- ner, Rosemary Batt, Bob Cornue, Hollis Edingerfjoe Flaherty, Audrey Morse, Richard Raut and Margie Towne, stepped wide-eyed into the kindergarten. They soon were well established under the supervision of Miss Carlton and so started the long-lremembereii schooldays. Under the guiding hands of Miss Palin, Miss Baldwin, Miss Sloan, Miss Dwyer and Miss Long, they maneuvered through the grades adding to the class a few new faces here and there. Junior High School proved to be a strange new adventure but we soon found ourselves well established. Ninth grade with Mrs. Porter as our adviser en Ted our junior High School and with big ideas we became Sophomores under the supervision of Mr. Owens and Mrs. Sherman. We elect- ed Hollis Edinger as president. , In our Junior year, we chose Hollis Edinger again as president and our advisers were Miss Murphy and Miss Goff. The main activities of the year were the Magazine contest and the Oracle. The Junior Prom ended our Junior events and it's Summer Fantasy provided the theme for a gala occasion. ,This year under the guidance of Mrs. Austin, Mr. Millis and Mr. Allen as our advisers, wc elected these officers for the year: Prrsizlwzf .......,....... Frances Smith Secrcfiary . . . . f fl i. 4-Audrey Morse Vice'-Prcfsiclent ....,...,. Robert Butler Trc'asurc'r .......... Francis Fitzpatrick,- Highlights of the year were: The Senior Ball, January 28, where the music of the Ohioans and the Fiesta decorations provided the setting for dancing. The New York trip over Memorial Day provided five days of sight seeing and entertainment as a climax of the year's activities. A ' In addition to several square dances and paper drives, the class sponsored a Carl and jane amateur show. In March a Donkey Basketball game was held between the Faculty of Tully Central and the Business men of Tully. This proved to be a hilarious event. As a result of these various ac- tivities, our class earned over 51300. 1 ' Scholastic honors of the class go to Audrey Morse, Valedictorian, and Ronald Rice, Salutatorian. With our schooldays behind us as only a few steps in the tall ladder of life, we leave T. C. S. with fond remembrances of cherished friends and wonderful times found here in the security of her walls. We bid farewell, but not without a last reluctant glimpse of sehooldays, as we move forward to accept our challenge as citizens of tomorrow's worli', remembering as we go our class mot- to: Not at the top, but climbing. ., CLASS PROPHECY OF ,49 The other day I said to Mart, Let's go on a nice long trip? Mart said, O. K., let's go see the old gang? We'll take Jean Whittemore to cook for us? Our first stop was at Apulia Station. We stopped to get supplies at Bob Porter's store. Mary Ban- ner Beaner lets us in on a little family secret. Bob lets Beamer take care of the gas pump while he takes care of the store. The reason: he sells only gas. We are near the little old school house when we hear an awful shriek. Mart runs in. Just then we hear, Robert, quit throwing those spitballs! Jimmy, give me that rubber band Mart waves us in and we see Audrey Kehrer in no other role but teacher! Look at this, a new nursery. Read the sign, says Mart. Apulia Nursery . . . George Kelley, Pro- priefar . . . Ours is the noisiest business in town. He ought to be happy enough. Dorothy Aldrich is his best customer and Lucy Lasda and Jean Whittemore help out greatly. - Did you know that 'Bullf Butler built this road? asked Mart. He had it all straightened and the hills taken out so that he could travel faster from here to Jamesville. You see he just had to get to see Pat faster. We practically flew to Tully because we had a lot of people to see and not much time to do it. Look at the new school. Oh, that's where Dot Aldrich's kids all go. As we entered the front

door we heard Dot as she finished counting noses. You get the connection between the new school and George Kelley's business now? ' Lloyd Compton owns the bakery now. We find him sitting on his favorite garden tractor. Instead of using trucks to deliver goods, Lloyd uses garden tractors. There is a new -state hospital on Clinton Street for the mentally unbalanced. There are a few of the Senior Class boarding there. As we enter we see John O'Connor in a Napoleon suit, the leader of a growing army. Audrey Morse is the head nurse here. Budge'l was transferred here and Audrey, of course, put in her claim. ' L 'Well, well, Varsity Smith has at last made the Varsity and in the 9th grade too! We meet Blanche Rainbow in her mansion on Dutch Hill having her dinner in bed. She married a millionaire, Carl Compton, who inherited his fortune from his Uncle Chauncey Pigeontoes. Skateland is now a partnership business. The partners are Dick Raut, Millie Folsom and Mar- gie Towne. By the way, Don Stout, Jake Banner and Nancy Hillenbrand seem to be their best cus- tomers. ! ' The Second Story Club, is what the sign says next to Skateland. Rosemary was so fascinated by the night clubs in New York that she started one herself. The road that wayis the best . . .lor so says Bob Cornue. We overtake him on his putt-putt bike heading in that direction. You have a long way to go Bob, you shouldn't have stopped at Henderson's! Look at that sign, it says Old Man Mose Il, alias Bob Drumm, KEEP OUT. Just to enlighten your minds, we found that Bob has sworn off women and now lives in a nice big cave by himself. We pick up an old hitchhiker carrying carpenter supplies. Why itls Dick Henderson and is he happy. He's got his first job in the field of architecture-building shed out back-if you get what we mean. I don't know how Myrtle Dickenson got on North Street but there she is. Bob Coffin, our buddy until the Senior Year, always thought she would make a good wife because she is so quiet. In LaFayette we notice that the flag is at half mast. We find out why when we pass the cemetery and staring us right in the face is Hollis Edinger's epitaph. Oh, look at those beautiful Rosies on his grave, exclaimed Jean. We meet Arthur Banner up the street but he can't stop to chat long. He is on his way to Nava- rino. Art has taken up where Charles Atlas left off. Frances Smith has moved to LaFayette nowg Jug got a new job there. We find out that her hobby is collecting jugs. She has been collecting them for a LONG time. . The circus comes to town! Oh, there's a poster! It pictures Ronnie Rice in a leopard skin claim- ing the title of the strongest man in the World. The poster next to it shows Joe Flaherty as the world's best clown, so says Dingling Brothers Circus. Joe is never on time for his act-says he is catching up on his sleep. 'Dingling Brothers also has Frances Fitzpatrick in it's hire. He takes on all comers for three rounds. Poor Fitz, the future looks pretty black for him-no comers. Jean is still trying to get her driver's license so we stopped at the Court House. Here we find Mart Sills, the Judge. He is starting to enforce the Anti-Necking bill he passed. Dick Raut, beware of the long arm of the law. Now we are on the way to Fabius. There is Mike Cook running the tractor for the buzz saw. Lucy is a pretty good worker too. She runs the buzz saw while Junior runs the tractor. Last stop at Fabius is the bowling alley, Merton Sills is still trying for the 100 mark. Keep try- ing Mert, one of these days you will get a strike. Say, does anyone know where there is a good hideout for us? These Seniors are merciless! OUCH! . ,, . SENIOR CLASS WILL K We, the class of 1949, Tully Central School, County of Onondaga, State of New York being of sound mind and body, hereby publish our last will and testament: First to our Principal, Mr. Green, and the faculty we leave our sincere gratitude for their patience and understanding through our years spent in T. C. S. Next to Mrs. Austin, Mr. Millis and Mr. Allen we leave our deepest appreciation for their help and guidance' in making our Senior year a success. To the Freshman Class, we leave a book entitled How to Become Successful Seniors. With three years to practice in you should, be even better than We are. To the Sophomores we leave our ability to be quiet and sedate at all times. Calm down kiddies! The following bequests, because we can no longer keep them, we hope you, Juniors will accept as a token of our generosity and thoughtfulness.
