ORACLE 9 4 5 19 45 WILLARD ARNOLD Bill Arnold is known for his “bleached” hair and ever present smile. Since the Senior Play and his fine portrayal of “Warry Reardon,” he has been commonly referred to as “Warry.” Who will ever forget that love sick pose! In fact it was the Senior Play and New Y’ork trip which fully revealed Warry's endearing qualities—to some members of the class at least. Bill's talent in music and skill with the sax won him a place in the band during his freshman and sophomore years, and he was always on hand at class dances. His popularity among both boys and girls of the class is the measure of the high esteem in which they hold him. Bill expects Uncle Sam will plan his future—at least for a time; but whatever he does we know it will be done with a smile, and that will get him a long way. ROSEMARY BAILEY Rosie is that quiet girl who hails from Burdett and is noted for her beautiful clothes. No doubt many a girl has cast an envious eye on her many skirts and sweaters. Not that it is held against her, for Rosemary has worked hard and has made many friends since she came to Watkins Glen. Although she hasn’t taken an active part in class affairs she has been active in sports, having been a member of the Girls’ Sports Club as a junior and having participated in all intramurals throughout her high school years. Her chief hobbies are ice skating and crocheting; her crocheted pieces give evidence of both taste and skill. Although she has not made definite plans for the future, Rosemary would like to be a secretary. We’re confident she will do a splendid job in any career she decides to follow. Good luck Rosemary. MARY ALTA BASSETT If you hear a happy “hi ya,” a silly giggle, and catch sight of a pair of merry eyes, you can be sure it is Basket. She’s such a petite thing and her clothes and hair are always so neat you’d never believe she could get into mischief—but you'd be mistaken. Very appropriate was her role as “Penelope,” the imp, in the senior play. She likes sports and music and is equally adept in both. She has participated in intramural basketball and gym demonstrations and was a member of the Girls' Sports Club. She worked on the Sophomore Hop committee and played in the band in her freshman and sophomore years. Alta likes to play the piano and the flute, to sing, to sketch people, and to read. Alta may go to Fredonia to continue her musical training. Wherever you go, Basket, keep spreading your special kind of sunshine and you'll succeed. JAMES BATES Bates, one of the taller and more brilliant members of the Class of 45, has been one of the most active in class and school affairs. A partial list of these activities includes: Sophomore Hop committee, Election Day Dinner committee. Chess Club, ORACLE Staff; and in sports, baseball (1, 4) and basketball (3, 4). Proficiency in the gym gave him a place in the Physical Education Demonstration his sophomore and junior years. A quite unsuspected talent was revealed in his portrayal of the lover as “Todd” in the Senior Play. Recognition of his all-round qualities was his election as one of four boys to represent Schuyler County at Boys’ State. Jim is a lover of the out-of-doors and is an expert hunter and fisherman. He is making no definite plans for the future until the setting of the Japanese Sun. LEWIS J. BEARDSLEY, JR. Scoop is that member of the class who looks down on the rest of us from his 6' 5 , an asset which no doubt helped him attain his fine record on the basketball court. With his cute cracks and curly hair Scoop is very popular. He was chairman of the Sophomore Hop committee and this year was made Student Standard humor editor and a member of the ORACLE staff. In his junior year he was a delegate to Boys’ State and as a senior was chosen “Mr. W. G. H. S.” by the students - honors he may well be proud of. As “Mr. Parker” in the Senior Play, Scoop took family life very seriously and ever since has been keeping an eye on that prospective “daughter-in-law.” Swimming is his favorite sport in fact, he loves the outdoors in general. As for his future plans, Scoop says that Uncle Sam’s going to make most of them, but that someday he would really like to be a forest ranger. Lots o’ luck, Scoop!
