Editorials
For the third time “The Ferry Boat” sets out for a voyage, this time
under the guidance of the class of 1930. We have worked faithfully that
this issue may receive the success given to former publications of King
Ferry High School. We hope that our boat may withstand the storms on
the sea of public opinion and find the harbor of good opinion in the minds
of its readers.
The publishing of the senior annual has been made possible through
the advertisements given by merchants in this community and near-by
towns. The staff of “The Ferry Boat” appreciates this and wish that all
readers purchasing from these stores will mention this book. This will
help future classes when they attempt to solicit advertising.
The class of 1930 wish to take this opportunity to thank all those who
have helped us during our high school career. We are especially grateful
to Mrs. Lue King for her help with the operetta, to Roy Tuttle, who by
allowing us to open his garage with a dance greatly increased our class
funds, and to the Board of Education who at all times has been sympathetic
and helpful.
History of the Class of 1930
At last this longed for graduation has come, and with it comes memo-
ries of our four years with our Alma Mater. As we look back on our four
years of High School and review its glorious history we well remember
when we first entered high school as Freshmen. Certainly the usual fresh-
men color “green” could not be said to have applied to us.
As a freshman class of fifteen we did not organize- However, we
had no doubts but what we were to become the greatest class ever to
graduate from King Ferry High School. In our sophomore year as in our
freshman year we remained unorganized, except that two of our class
dropped out leaving only thirteen members. Later it was again raised to
15 when two more came into the class. These first two years of our high
school life we spent joyfully in a series of parties, athletic events, picnics
and general good times, along with just enough study to get by on.
In our Junior year we began to realize that study was necessary if we
ever expected to graduate. Then we organized as a class for the first
time. We chose Esther Corey, president, Elfreida Sullivan, vice-piesident
and Carl Davis, secretary and treasurer, Miss Searles faculty adviser.
Regardless of the fact that our Senior year seemed a long way off, still we
thought it was an opportune time to start earning money for our Senior
trip to Washington, D. C.
We earned our first money, which was about thirty doll rs, serving
supper at the four dances given by the class of ’29. This fund was in-
creased by the selling of jello and seeds. As a result of this work we had
enough money in our treasury to start well our Senior year. One night in
February we treated the Seniors to a sleigh ride and a party. This was
the only social event of the year in which we took an active part.
In September of our final year as seniors of King Ferry High School
fifteen members were enrolled. We organized with Esther Corey, presi-
dent, Elfreida Sullivan, vice-president, Maxine Hall, secretary, and
Dorotha Mann, treasurer and Miss Searles and Mr. Frier, faculty advisers.
Later in the year we lost two of our class thus leaving only thirteen to
graduate. We began with a resolution to make our class the finest pos-
sible.
With thoughts of our Washington trip at Easter we started early to
earn money. Our first attempt was an invitation and community dance at
Northville Hall- Later in February we held a dance at Roy Tuttle’s new
garage. This was the biggest and most pleasing to us of all our activities
this year. We cleared about $115. In December we presented the play,
“At the Sign of the Pewter Jug” twice at King Ferry. Later we repeated
it at North Lansing and Sherwood. Among the other activities were two
dinners given at the Community Hall, two bake sales at Roy Tuttle’s store
and a box shadow social and skating party at Community Hall. All these
proved well worth our time spent on them and our bank account grew
rapidly.
Easter vacation came and with it our trip to Washington. It seemed
like a dream to most of us. Our class of ten with Miss Searles as chaperone
left Ithaca, Friday morning, April 18 and arrived at Union Station, Wash-
ington at 8 o’clock that night. We were taken to Hotel Harrington in
busses. We stayed here until Wednesday noon during which time we
visited Mt. Vernon and Washington’s home, various government buildings
including White House, the Capitol, United State Mint, Bureau of Print-
ing and Engraving. We also visited the Washington Monument, Lincoln
Memorial, Zoological Gardens and Arlington Cemetery. Easter Sunday
we all attended church and Easter Monday we went to the White House
lawn to hear the United States Marine Band and to watch the egg rolling
on the lawn.
Wednesday noon w’e left for Annapolis where we inspected the Naval
Academy grounds. We reached Philadelphia about 8 o’clock Wednesday
night and were taken to the Benjamin Franklin Hotel. In this third
largest city we visited many interesting places among which were, the
Curtis Publishing Company, Independence Hall, Liberty Bell and Wana-
maker’s store. Friday morning we left for Atlantic City. Here we
walked on the seven mile boardwalk. We returned to the hotel at Phila-
delphia and 12 o’clock that night we left for home- The party that reached
Ithaca at 7:45 o’clock Saturday morning was a great contrast to the one
which had left the week before. It was certainly well worth our time and
energy spent earning money for this trip. The beautiful sights and places
that we saw will never be forgotten by any of us.
The publication of our annual year book is our last attempt in High
School work and we trust it will be a success.
In concluding this simple outline of events, we add a word of en-
couragement to the classes that are to come. It is easy enough to read
history, but to make it means work and plenty of it; but after all, it is
a great satisfaction in being able to say, “We have done cur best.”
Class Prophesy
Thirty years have come and gone since that well remembered day
when the class of 1930 graduated from King Ferry High School. During
those long years I had completely lost track of my twelve classmates and
it was only by the greatest chance that I met them all once more. I myself,
have spent twenty-five years teaching, twenty years in a high school on the
Philippine Islands and the other five in a little village near Watertown. As
a result, last June, in recognition of my services and at the earnest de-
mands of my pupils I was given a pension and resigned.
This last year I have spent quietly in my own home, but as Easter
came near I decided that I would take a trip. Therefore one lovely April
afternoon found me on my way to Washington where thirty years before
I had spent a happy week with the rest of my senior class.
On reaching the city I inquired my way to the Harrington Hotel and
on arriving was given a room on the third floor. To my great surprise I
found myself in the same room that I had shared w’ith Esther and Miss
Searles thirty years before. Tired after my trip I went to bed at once, but
was no sooner asleep than I was awakened by shouts coming from the
rooms on all sides of me. Fearing that a fire had broken out I hastened to
my window only to find heads stuck out of windows all around the court.
I was just about to ask what was the trouble when someone above me threw
a glass of hot water on my head and my shout of surprise and anger was
answered by peals of laughter from all sides. I hastened to the telephone
and asked to speak to the manager of the hotel. When I told him of my
insult he was at once apologetic, but explained that nearly all of the rooms
were taken by senior classes who were spending Easter vacation in Wash-
ington. He assured me that he was doing his best to curb their animal
spirits and after asking me to inform him of any disturbance, hung up.
However, instead of diminishing, the noise seemed to grow louder and in
spite of my best efforts I was unable to go to sleep. A boy in the next room
was making a date with a girl on the floor below and immediately above me
■were three young men who were inviting the boys in the next room to a
poker game. Much disgusted, I was turning from the window when I
heard a knock and although somewhat frightened I hastened to open the
door. Imagine my amazement to find standing there the house detective,
who with a grim smile asked if all that noise was coming from my room.
“Certainly not,” I snapped in my best school teacher manner, “and
furthermore, if this outlandish and altogether unnecessary uproar does
not cease at once—”
But here I stopped for the detective was staring at me with a
puzzled look on his face. “You — You,” he stammered, “You can’t be
Elfreida Sullivan, are you?”
“I am but who are you and how did you know me?”
“Why, I’m Donald Streeter, and you haven’t changed a bit. That’s
just the way you used to talk when we went to King Ferry together. But
I’m certainly glad to see you. Now I can hear all about the rest of my
class mates.”
By this time my icy manner had altogether melted for I was overcome
with joy at seeing Donald after thirty years and I at once began to ques-
tion him.
He told me that after leaving King Ferry he went to Canada where
he worked in a lumber camp for a few years. When he returned to the
States he came to Washington where he secured his present position. He
said he liked his work very much and besides having quite a bank account
he had been able to buy a beautiful home and send his children to the best
schools. He said that, like me, he had lost all traces of our former friends
but as the next day was his day off he invited me to come and spend the
day with him and his wife. I accepted the invitation with alacrity and
Donald left to resume his duties.
By midnight the hotel was moderately quiet and I went to sleep at last.
The next morning Donald and his charming wife came for me and
took me to their home. I had half expected Mrs. Streeter to be another
of my old friends from King Ferry but here I was disappointed. Early
in the afternoon the suggestion was made that we take a sightseeing tour
of the city. We were fortunate enough to find seats in the first bus we
saw. The guide had a clear, carrying voice and I was at once struck with
the impression that I had heard it before. Donald, too, was looking at
him closely and soon he said to me excitedly, “Say, isn’t that Jimmie
Nedrow?”
“Why that’s just who it is. Now we certainly will find out the news
of our classmates.”
Jimmie was as glad to see us as we were him. When he graduated
he had intended to become an actor and he told us that he had won a fair
amount of success in that line. At present, however, he was resting before
beginning his next play and as the regular guide was ill Jim had offered
to help out. Donald and I who remembered how well James had shown
us the points of interest on our way home from Washington, understood
how our old classmate had obtained the position.
When he had finished telling us of his success, James drew' a paper
from his pocket and pointed to an item in one corner. I noticed that the
paper was the Genoa Tribune and hurried to read the notice. Imagine our
interest when we read that the class of 1930 was to hold a reunion at the
King Ferry Hotel and all members of the class were urged to be present.
The date was the very next day. All three of us decided to go, but Mrs.
Streeter said she disliked travel and would remain at home.
Therefore the next morning, Jimmie, Donald and I took passage on the
Skyrocket, the fastest passenger plane in use, and were soon landed in
King Ferry. But imagine our bewilderment to find, not the King Ferry
of our school days but a busy, pretty little town with a population of about
1,500. On our way to the hotel we passed a large building which we were
told was the new library, several new stores, and what impressed us most,
a large and beautiful building which was the high school.
At the hotel we were m,et by a sweet, young appearing lady, with
beautiful hair, whom we all recognized at once as being Dorotha. We
were surprised however, when she told us that she and her husband owned
the hotel and it was she who had planned the reunion. When she had
graduated from Cornell she had come to the hotel and worked as a dietician
and when she found it was to be sold she and her husband bought it. She
showed us through the hotel which was beautifully furnished and equipped
and then ushered us to our rooms that we might rest before the remainder
of the class arrived. She regretted that her husband was not at home but
the “Sheik,” as she called him, had been called out of town on important
business.
After resting for a few hours I descended to the reception room and
found all of the rest of the class had arrived. I had no more than time
enough to say hello to them all, than dinner, was announced. We were
all seated before we noticed that Donald was missing and just as Dorotha
had decided to go after him he appeared at the door. He had a rather
sheepish look and when he was seated, explained that he had decided to
take a bath and had fallen asleep in the tub. This was so like the Donald
we remembered, that the ice was broken and we felt more comfortable at
once.
As I looked around the table I noticed how happy and contented every-
one appeared and although I had to look at a few the second time in order
to recognize them, the greater part of the class had changed but little.
Then each member of the class told what had befallen him since 1930.
Esther Corey was a welfare worker and reformer. She had waged
a fierce war against the use of all intoxicating liquors and had won a glori-
ous victory. Twice she had represented her district in the State Assembly
and it was considered highly possible that she would be the next mayor of
King Ferry. I was surprised to find that she had never married, but she
said that she had been unable to choose between her numerous admirers.
Bernard, we learned, was owner and manager of the Keim Farm,
which had become the most celebrated of any in the state and was often
visited by agricultural students who wished to see how a real farm was
run. As president of the Board of Education he had been influential in
having the new school built and had given his time and money freely
toward everything which might make King Ferry a thriving village. He
invited the entire class to come and inspect his farm and meet his family.
Dellaphine said that when her second husband died he had left her a
large amount of money and since his death she spent most of her time
traveling. Her winter home was in Florida and though she had a summer
home in the Adirondacks, she said she usually spent the summer in Europe.
She was as happy and pretty as ever and she told me later that she thought
she would soon be married again for as she said, and somehow it sounded

familiar, “Why he’s been following me around for weeks and I’m sure I
don’t know why. I haven’t given him any encouragement.”
Robert Barnhart was teacher of French in King Ferry High and had
also written several books, one of which had become quite well known. I
must admit I was surprised for Robert, when in high school had been so
gay and flighty that it seemed odd that he had sobered down enough to
become a dignified teacher.
Robert Bradley, we discovered, had been a professional baseball player
but as he considered gold more important than glory he had become a stock
broker in New York. He was considered one of the richest men in the
state and the Bradley Scholarship Fund gave proof that he was doing
his part to make our class famous.
Mabel Hewes had stayed in King Ferry and as her husband, too, liked
animals they had started a hospital for animals and birds where all cats,
dogs, lambs and chickens were given the best of care. Mabel often grew so
attached to the cats and lambs put in her care that she was loath to part
with them All of the patients are given names and Mabel was happy in
doing the work that she loved.
Maxine Hall, we were told, was the foremost woman pilot in the
United States. Since her first airplane ride, taken in Washington, she had
wished to become an aviatrix and had enrolled in the flying school at
Chicago. Here she made marked progress and for several years piloted
the mail plane between San Francisco and New York. A few years ago
she made a non-stop flight around the world. She said she soon expected
to settle down to a less strenuous life and write of her experiences.
But Florence Shells surprised me more than anyone else. All through
these thirty years I had remembered Florence as a strong, athletic girl
and 1 had never forgotten the basketball games in which she had played
But how changed she was. She refused to eat nearly everything served
for she said she was on a diet. All she could talk of was the doctors who
had failed to help her and the medicines which had proven worthless. She
had spent these thirty years traveling from country to country in search
of good health. Good natured, healthy Florence had changed into a fussy
old maid who thought only of her health.
Herbert Van Nest was pastor of The Little Church Around the Corner
and his sermons were quoted as often as Amos and Andy had been during
our senior year at high school.
When we parted late that evening, after talking over bygone days,
it was with the promise that we would have many such reunions in the
future. ----------------------------------
SPRING
The Blossoms are fair,
Giving a perfume rare
Though like new mown hay
The fragrance soon fades away
We still have sweet memories of “Spring.”
Donald Streeter 30
Class H ill
We, the Class of 1930, about to leave this sphere of our acquired
greatness, believing ourselves to be in full possession of sound mind and
body, unfailing memory, and startling comprehension, do make and publish
this our last will and testament, hereby revoking,making void, and exter-
minating all former wills by us.
First, we do direct that our funeral shall not be conducted by other
than our friends, but with the entire ceremony and elaboration that the
very sound of “thirty” merits-
ITEM: We give and bequeath to the school as a whole the two songs
entitled. “Teachers, Spare Those Juniors” and “Don’t Forget to Remem-
ber Us.”
To the Junior Class, we bequeath all our ambitions, will power, popu-
larity and charming dispositions which have made this graduating class
the most renowned in all the school history.
We leave an escalator to aid the Sophomores in their upward climb,
a book of regulation rules and gumption enough to get something started
before 1934.
To the Freshman Class of 1933, we bequeath some sandpaper to
remove green spots and produce a polish.
We bequeath as personal bequests, to:
Stephen Hunt—A pair of glasses so that he can tell a certain pair of
“twins” apart in Trumansburg
Eleanor Brill—A stick of dynamite to put in Jay’s Ford roadster in
order to break the habit of continually parking.
Elizabeth Willis—A hint not to distract Lester’s attention while driv-
ing in the city, as it proves embarassing to him not to notice
the traffic signals.
Myles Cogan—The right to edit a book on “Witticisms;” we’re sure
he’s capable of it.
Eleanor Wilbur—A “Graham” cracker to take to bed with her.
Margaret Rafferty—Just a souvenir of “Ed” as he appeared in his
dark moments.
Dorothy Rowland—A transfer to Sherwood High School for her re-
maining year enabling her to be nearer Nelson.
Everett Ellison—A book of excuses so that he will not have to use

BOATS
The children playing by the water brim,
Send trig white ships to sail the ocean blue,
The boats are not little twigs to them ,
But lofty vessels manned by brave crews.
This big one will go far away,
To lands which no one yet has ever seen,
And oh, the wonders that the men will see,
Such as come to us only in dreams
And this ship holds a pirate band
To plunder all the boats that block their way,
With bloody swords and weapons in their hands,
Like robbers in the old bygone days.

Seniors' Song to the Juniors
Tune: My Idea of Heaven is to be in Love With You
Oh, Juniors, Juniors, our idea of you is far above all else because we love
you so.
Oh Juniors, Juniors, we hope you will remember our kind efforts in help-
ing you to go.
We like to see you angels around us here at school.
And of course you’ve broken nearly every rule.
Oh Juniors, Juniors, we wonder what you will do when we have gone and
left you here aione.
Oh Stephen, Stephen, we liked you until you went to Trumansburg and
there you met a twin.
Oh Stephen, Stephen, we pray you, please tell us whether she is tall or short
or fat or thin.
We wish that you had stayed home and gone up to see Dot,
Because we discovered that Nelson had not.
Oh Stephen, Stephen, our idea is that you should be a better boy to these
girls at home.
Luella, Luella, we want you to please mal e up your mind to either Gordon
or Dave.
Luella, Luella, in order to be a good Senior next year we want ycu to
behave.
It seems too bad that you can’t go with Spider for a ride
Without Gordon knowing, for he is your guide.
Luella, Luella, please do not forget when you and Gordon rode in a horse
and wagon-
Oh Dorothy, Dorothy, our idea is that you find seme other than just a
professional,
Oh Dorothy, Dorothy, we wonder and ask you where you find such brave
and trained material.
We know Nelson is a star and the rest have their place,
But don’t you love Stephen, he seems to have grace.
Oh Dorothy, Dorothy, please remember that the doctor is too far away
and Stephen’s not.
Oh Everett, Everett, if you want to take a Cook in your Page touring car,
it is 0. K.
Oh Everett, Everett, it’s alright to take her with you, unless you take her
too far away.
We know you have been the example here at our school,
Please keep up your work so you won’t break the rule.
Oh Everett, Everett, please grow up so people will know that you are a
Senior here next year.
Oh Margaret, Margaret, it grieves us when we find out that you and Ed
have had a falling out.
Oh Margaret, Margaret, you know that you both will be very sorry after
you’ve thought it out.
It seems to us that you should not go with John Avery,
Unless you are sure that Edward will not see.
Oh Margaret, Margaret, we are sure that you and Ed will make a match
when you are through with school.
Our dear Eleanor Brill, it seems to us that you like Jay better than anyone
else you’ve met.
Oh Eleanor, Eleanor, please tell us why you have fallen hard for him and
left the other boys.
At nearly every crossroad, there’s a new Ford parked there.
You can tell who ‘tis by his light, curly hair.
Oh Eleanor, Eleanor, we advise that you must not forget that you are to
be a Senior.
Ernestine, Ernestine, you always are known to have a cheerful smile and
you don’t even sigh;
With one exception and that is to Chapman’s wedding you weren’t invited
which made you cry.
It seemed that you were in heaven until you heard that,
But were here to tell you, you’re not to mind that-
Oh Ernestine, Ernestine, remember that there are others in this school
that are just as good as he.
Oh Myles, Myles, how can it be that you are the star athlete when you are
on the court?
Oh Myles, Myles, we want you to take our place next year because you
see that we’ll be gone.
We seem to listen to angels whenever you sing,
If that isn’t heaven, its just the next thing.
Oh Myles, Myles, we want you to please be very careful down in Washing-
ton next year.
Oh Eleanor, Eleanor, do you know what we think of Pink, the Woodsman,
who took you to a show?
Oh Eleanor, Eleanor, we wonder how many other boys you have that you
call a beau.
We know you like “graham” crackers with dates for dessert.
’Though you like to go, none can call you a flirt.
Oh Eleanor, we’re sure that you’ll make a very proper Senior and your
class will boast of you.
Oh Lizzy, Lizzy, we know that the boys hold much attraction for you with-
in your heart.
Oh Lizzy, Lizzy, we know that it grieves you to know Eleanor’s torn you
and Jay apart.
But then we know you like Lester; “Fat,” too, has his chance,
And once Alvin took you back home from the dance.
We want to tell you, dear Lizzy, we know we’ve mentioned only about
half of them to you.
THE BROOK
Down the hill, over the dale
Goes the twinkling brook.
Always forgetting it was once hidden by an icy veil
As it drowsily rests in a shady nook

Seniors' Song to the Faculty
Where ever we go, what ever we do
We’ll never forget the faculty crew.
We know that they like us some too
Although at times it didn’t seem true
For if by any chance we forgot our lessons
Although seniors we sure did catch the dickens
But that’s all past, we’re through at last
Due to the help of the faculty.
Oh, Mr. Frier’s done his best to make our school a big success;
He’s given rules by the yard and made us seniors study hard,
But we think he is a splendid man and we all are very glad he came.
We wish him luck, he sure has pluck,
This principal of our faculty.
Oh, Mrs. Frier thinks that we act like infants of just about three;
She hopes that we will grow up soon, but it’s just like wishing for the moon.
And Miss Wagner, she likes colors bright, and we hear that she likes them
best at night
Our wishes true, for these two
Members of our faculty.
Oh, Miss Searles is the very best scout
We’ve ever seen or read about
But now for George she’s fallen hard, each night his car is in her yard.
And whenever she goes for a ride, you may be sure that he is seated
by her side.
We know that you, will like her too
This member of our faculty.
Oh, Miss Clark is last, she’s a very fine lass
And with “Sac” has made a hit
And Alvin too will do his share, to keep this teacher from despair
And now that you have heard all about them, just how do you feel about
them ?
There’s no mistake, we think they’re great
The members of our faculty.
SPRING
Happy and proud
In her fresh green gown,
Gay as the song she is humming,
Spring knocks at the door
And is welcomed the more,
Because she is early in coming.

The Traffic Policeman
Have you ever thought what it would be like to be a traffic policeman,
to stand hour after hour and watch the everchanging mass of people who
pass by without scarcely a thought of the man who is helping to protect
them? If he has a sense of humor how he must chuckle as he reviews
the day’s happenings and perhaps sigh too, as he recalls some of the things
he has witnessed. The traffic cop, during his day’s work, sees the funny
people, the sad people, the odd ones and the commonplace ones and all
the rest of the human beings who make up the world.
Along comes an old fliver, hitting on one cylinder, the top torn to
tatters and the windshield cracked in countless pieces. Next perhaps
will be a Pierce-Arrow driven by a uniformed chaffeur who is taking his
haughty employer for a drive in the country. Next the latest model road-
ster, followed by an old car adorned with “wise cracks” and filled with
gay young people.
The traffic cop notices the timid woman driver who will stall her new
car in the midst of traffic; he gives directions to the band of tourists and
halts the young man who is trying to speed by the lights.
And the pedestrians! The worried mother who is trying to get her
numerous children across the street without getting killed; the old lady
who walks nonchalantly across the street on the wrong light and then
glares indignantly at the officer when he says she is running into danger.
The traffic officer is worshipped by the little children whom he helps
across the streets on rainy days and is feared by the little street urchins
who have been taught to run at the sight of the policeman.
No, there is nothing monotonous about the life of a traffic policeman.
Elfreida Sullivan ‘30
Reading Old Tetters
What is more amusing than reading old letters? On a rainy day there is
nothing I enjoy more than going to our attic and spending the afternoon
reading old letters.
One dreary September day I climbed to the attic, and dug out an old chest
and began reading letters. These letters were interesting to me because
I had often heard my grandmother tell about some of the people who wrote
them. Many of the envelopes were yellow with age and very difficult to
read. These letters were very varied in content. A few were business like,
others were love letters and still others, from just friends. In one letter
Aunt Zelpha was telling Cousin Abraham about some pigs that they had
sold. Another told about the sad death of a sister. However, the most amus-
ing were the love letters written in the early forties. First I was rejoicing
over some happy news; then I was feeling sad for someone who had died.
At this time I was living the life of our grandmothers in the early fifties
when my mother from somewhere called me back to the year and age of
1930. I departed with memories of those beautiful old letters. Yes! I enjoy
reading old letters.

On Flirtation
Mr. and Mrs. Oswald were spending their second summer in their
pleasant northern home. Mr. Oswald was a good provider and their home
was all that could be desired. Their three children were well nourished
and clothed. Some might have considered the clothes too gaudy for every-
day use. Their brilliant red bonnets and dazzling white coats with black
trimmings were the envy of all the more sedate mothers around.
Mrs. Oswald, a very dashing lady herself, had gaudy tastes and, alas,
she was what might be called a rather fast and flighty lady who was not
content with one good husband who was doing his best to provide a happy
home for his wife and children.
She cast her eyes about until she spied another younger, more flirta-
tious gentleman who was no doubt flirting around looking for a dashing
lady.
Poor Mr. Oswald, no doubt he loved his wife. She was breaking his
heart. What could he do? Suicide was the only way out. He was not used
to fire arms, he had no poison handy, but a live electric wire was hanging
conveniently near. He dashed into it and the next morning his friends
found his remains neatly electrocuted on the ground under the wire.
Mrs. Oswald did not put on mourning, not she. Her red bonnet was
brighter than ever, her lovely white coat with black trimming was more
dazzling as she flashed about through the green trees spreading the news
that it was to be a private funeral.
If she mourned at her husband’s private funeral she did not show
it. She didn’t let anyone come to his funeral for fear he would find out
she was really to blame for his death. In less than three days she had
left her three children to shift for themselves.
, Whether her gentleman friend came along and asked her to take
him as her second husband or whether she did the proposing herself I
do not kpow, but she left her old home and went to live in another home
with a new mate to provide for her. Soon a nest was built, then a new
family of Oswald’s were hatched.
Every summer for four years now the scoldings have been heard from
morning until night, then beautiful colors flashed about the lawn to delight
the hearts of the humans who look anxiously for their coming.
Yet I really wonder if Mrs. Oswald is as happy as she expected to be-
she scolds as much as ever if not more and it sounds as if her second
husband was getting a little on her nerves. Rose Lick ’34
SENIORS’ FAREWELL SONG
Tune: You’ve Forgotten That You Love Me
Farewell schoolmates, friends and teachers
We are going to leave you now;
All our studies now are over,
All our cares and troubles too;
The time will come friends when you will miss us
And we will wish that we were in school, in school.
Farewell schoolmates, friends and teachers
We are going to leave you now.

The Senior Play
The Senior class presented a three act play “At the Sign of the Pewter
Jug” as a means of raising money for their trip to Washington at Easter
time. They gave it four different times—twice at King Ferry, once at
North Lansing and once at Sherwood from all of which they gained about
one hundred and twenty-five dollars.
The setting of the play was at the Inn. The Shuler sisters’ Uncle
Jimmie had left them five hundred dollars which they were to change into
five thousand dollars at the end of five years. Lodgers were not very
plentiful and unknown to them. Their uncle came to see how their business
was progressing. They put a notice in the paper that a prince was coming
to the Inn. This resulted in many lodgers coming to be with the royal
person. He failed to be the real prince, but the man who had been clerk
there proved to be the prince of Valencia.
The play ended happily when the girls married and received the five
thousand dollars that their Uncle Jimmie had promised them.
The cast of characters were:
Suzanne Shuler, manager of Pewter Jug
Barbara Shuler, sister of Suzanne
Leia Shuler, sister of Suzanne
William Norton, clerk at the Inn
Mr. Weatherbee
Mr. Doolittle
John Mackensie
Boris IX, Prince of Valencia

coaching the participants.
Musical Organizations
The orchestra under direction of Mrs. Lue King has been very active
this year. They have given selections at prize speaking contents, lectures
and in chapel. The orchestra is made up of eight pieces: Robert Bradley,
Paul Myers and Gordon Fritts play the saxophone; Donald Streeter ard
Everett Ellison, the cornet; Esther Corey and Teddy Barnett, the violin:
and Eleanor Brill is pianist.
The glee club has also had a good year. They have sung at banouets.
local prize speaking contests and in chapel. The members of the club are
Bernard Keim, Donald Keim, Fredy Rafferty, Eugene Clayton, James
Nedrow, Millard Van Nest, Herbert Van Nest, Robert Bradley, Everett
Ellison, Donald Streeter and Edward Murray. This club also is under the
direction of Mrs. Lue King and practices after school each Monday night.
At the first of the year a violin class was formed under the instruction
of Mr. Frier. The original number of eight has dwindled down to four,
but these four have made great progress. Dorothy Rowland, Leona Buck-
hout, Dellaphine Northcott and Abraham Strauss are the members of
the class.
Girls' Basketball
The girls’ basketball team of the season of 1929-30 reached the high-
est point that a King Ferry girls’ team had ever reached before. They
won the championship of the Cayuga County High School Basketbail
League. The girls had the same schedule for the league games as the boys.
The first game with Union Springs was easily won by a score of 19-4.
The next game was with Aurora at King Ferry. On the home court the
Orange and Black seemed to run away from Aurora. The score was King
Ferry 20, Aurora 8. At Aurora the following week the tables were turned.
The King Ferry girls received their first and last defeat of the season.
Aurora won with a score of 19 to 15. The next game, the second one with
Union Springs, was easily won by our team to the tune of 38 to 8. The fifth
game of the schedule, with Sherwood on their home court was a fairly
close one. The Orange and Black again won with the final score 19 to 11.
The game with Moravia on our court was another hard fought game. King
Ferry pulled ahead in the second half to end the game with a score of 16-12.
The second game with Sherwood was played on the M. E. court in Auburn.
After a fast and exciting game, our girls won by a score of 14 to 9. The
second game with Moravia, the last game of the season, was easily won
by our girls. Although several substitutes were given a chance to play
in the last quarter, at the end of the game the score stood 33 to 9.
The league schedule was ended with but one defeat against the King
Ferry girls’ team. They were tied with Aurora for championship of the
Southern Tier of the Cayuga County High School Basketball League. King
Ferry girls doubled the score, 22 to 11 in the tie-off game. The game to
decide the championship of the county was played with Weedsport, the
Northern Tier champions on the Armory Court in Auburn, March 14. The
girls in Orange and Black, after a very fast ^ame, won the contest and
the championship of the County League. For the first half of the season,
that is until after the January regents the five regular players were: Flor-
ence Sheils, captain-forward; Mabel Hewes, forward; Esther Corey, mana-
ger-center; Margaret Colgan and Margaret Rafferty, guard, witn
Eleanor Wilbur playing as first substitute. After January regents, Helen
Muldoon was eligible to play. She replaced Floience Sheils at forward
and Florence played center while Esther Corey played guard in place of
Margaret Rafferty. The substitutes for this season were Nora Sutphin,
Arlene Cummings, Doris Buchanan, Eleanor Brill and Dorothy Rowland.
Miss Dorothy Searles was their coach. Florence Sheils, Esther Corey,
Mabel Hewes, Margaret Colgan, Helen Muldoon, Margaret Rafferty and
Eleanor Wilbur will receive jackets for being members of the champion-
ship team.
Miss Wagner: Give two uses of ammonia.
Donald: Ammonia! Why I had that once and nearly died.
Donald: How do you do this geometry problem ?
Myles: Multiply the base by the radiator.
Edward Murray explaining Shakespeare’s meaning in “Faster than
his tongue did make offense his eye did heal it up”: That reminds me,
“Your lips say no, no, but your eyes say yes, yes.”
Margaret Rafferty: What is the opposite of bread?
Florence Townley: Biscuits.
Miss Searles, (in English II) : What collective noun would you apply
to several angels?
Edward Murray: A herd of angels.
Miss Searles, (in English HI) : What, in your opinion, is the differ-
ence in meaning between a lady and a woman?
Stephen Hunt: You’re a lady until you’re married, then you’re a
woman.
James Nedrow: You’re a lady until you’re fifty then you’re a woman.
Miss Searles: Eleanor, what do you mean by a triumvirate?
Eleanor Brill: Three men going around together conquering the
world.
Someone suggested to Eleanor Wilbur, when she was elected manager
of the basketball team for next year that she might hitch up her horse and
take the team.
Eleanor replied: Goodness no. I’d ruin the team.
We wonder which team she meant.
Eleanor B.: I’m going to get a piece with a lot of dramatic in it.
Tony to Esther who is playing “Home Sweet Home” on the violin: I
like that piece. It’s “Old Zib Coon isn’t it?
Myles C.: Of course not. You boys don’t know good music when you
hear it. That piece is “Yankee Doodle.”
Boys' Basketball
Our boys’ basketball team of 1929-30 started out with a bang. The
season as a whole was quite a success. Although twice defeated by Sher-
wood the King Ferry team was a close second in the County League. To
close the season victoriously the King Ferry team went to the Cortland
Y. M. C. A. Conference at Homer. Teams from four counties were there.
After playing various teams for one whole afternoon, they won the tourna-
ment of the conference. A beautiful trophy was presented to the team that
night at a banquet. The next Monday, Captain Dempsey presented it to the
school at regular chapel.
The County League schedule started December 6 when we played at
Union Springs. This game was easy for the Orange and Black. King
Fterry won by a score of 75 to 10. The following Friday, December 13,
Aurora came to King Ferry. The Orange and Black won by a score of
24 to 15. January 10 we played the return game at Aurora. This time
King Ferry was the under dog. The score was 11 to 17. January 17 the
return game with Union Springs was played at King Ferry. This time
the score was not quite so high as before, but King Ferry won 44 to 6.
The next game was the first defeat of the season for King Ferry. It was
played at Sherwood. The score was King Ferry 17, Sherwood 28. The
game with Moravia at King Ferry, January 31 was perhaps the closest
and most exciting game of the season. At the end of the fourth quarter
and still after one extra period of play the score was a tie 14 to 14. In
nearly the last minute of play in the second over time period, “Dave”
Myers made a neat field goal and won the game for King Ferry, making
the score 16 to 14. The second game with Sherwood was played February
14 on the M. E. court in Auburn instead of at King Ferry. Again the
Red and White of Sherwood was too much for the Orange and Black of
King Perry. We were defeated 22 to 17. The last league game for us was
played February 28 at Moravia. On this game hung the decision of
whether Moravia or King Ferry would take second place in the southern
tier of the league. King Ferry easily won with a score of 21 to 11. The
Cayuga County League games were over. Herbert Van Nest was high
scorer for the season with Harry Dempsey a close second.
Harry Dempsey, captain-right guard; Robert Bradley, left guard;
Herbert Van Nest, center-manager; Stephen Hunt, left forward and David
Myers, right forward were the regular five for this season. Myles Colgan,
Everett Ellison, Edward Murray, Millard Van Nest, Freddy Rafferty and
Bernard Keim were the reserves. Harry Dempsey, Stephen Hunt, Myles
Colgan, Herbert Van Nest, Robert Bradley, David Myers, and Everett
Ellison, having played in at least twelve quarters, will receive letters and
a certificate for their award.

Juniors' Song to the Seniors
Oh, seniors, seniors don’t be blue,
Just think of us and let your smiles come shining through—
Sometimes, seniors of our school, please think of us
And maybe we will think of you.
Of those old days gone by, where troubles made you cry
Because of friends you thought would always be true.
Oh seniors, seniors of our school.
We bid you all farewell as well as sad adieu.
Well, Esther, how can you keep cool?
When soon you know you’re leaving our old high school.
Esther what what will Spider do?
When you are gone and he has only dreams of you?
And there is “six-foot two,” along with “Shorty” too.
We wonder what they’ll do when you are far away.
Oh Esther, truly you can see,
That they were happy days with “Spider,” “Hub” and Stephen too.
Oh Herbert, school days now are through
We wonder what you’re planning after this to do.
Without girls to keep you right
We fear that you will have to park alone each night.
Beside the old mill stream, where you have kept things green
We fee] that everything for you has gone astray.
Oh Herbert, it’s one gosh darn shame that all those school days just for
you have always been the same.
Say Bernard, you’re a burning flame,
And all the girls they seem to love you just the same.
Sometimes when a girl does fall
You kiss her once—you kiss her twice and that is all.
Why must you be so mean?
When you could have a queen among the girls across the lake in
Trumansburg.
Then Bernard, there’s a parent too
Who loves to have you with her when the day is nearly through.
Why Donald you’re a perfect fool
Why use the bathtub when there is a swimming pool?
Sometime Donald you’ll come to
And get a girl who will sometime consider you.
Among your dearest plans, we hope that you may understand
That bluffing will not get you much of any place.
Oh Donald, you’re the biggest pest
We can not see why you don’t ever give the teachers rest.
Now Jimmy, you are quite all right,
At least we feel that you’re quite safe outside our sight.
Jimmy why are you so shy?
Why there are girls who think that you are quite all right.
They love to hear you speak, when you’re across the street
But when you’re near they love to smile at all your treats.
Brave Jimmy, surely you did right.
Just love those girls of Trumansburg and you’ll get home at night.
There’s Dellaphine, flapper of our school
We fear that you don’t realize how we love you.
Sometime Dellaphine you’ll get wise
And then you’ll know that you can’t vamp quite all the guys.
For it is in your arms
That you have power to charm
The great big hearted men who take up teaching school.
For Dellaphine, with your ready news
We wish you fame and fortune in whatever you may do.
Oh, Bradley, you’re the model boy,
You love to dance with all the girls, especially Corey.
Sometimes in the study hall you make the teachers mad, when off the seat
you fall.
You’re good at basketball, and dozing in the hall,
While on the field we find no fault at all.
And Bradley, when you run out of gas, please take a pail along
So you won’t have to leave a lass-
Oh Sully, girl of all Mike’s dreams, you’re just the one to spring upon
us all your schemes.
Sometimes Sully dear it seems that there will be one to fullfil all your
clever dreams.
We realize your tact at saying something back
That takes us off our track to make us feel so blank.
Oh Sully, surely there is a time
When you’ll find one who will love you for your cleverness refined.
Oh Maxine, you’re a senior too,
How we will miss you when your school days here are thru.
Surely there is some one too
Whose love for you will some day spring into our view.
While down in Washington, you didn’t miss the fun,
Although you didn’t fall for any man at all.
Well Maxine, here’s to your success
You’re surely shy but that’s not lacking happiness.
Well Dorotha, you sure sprung a joke
When you went out without taking along the folks.
Oh Dorotha, do you realize what charm and beauty there is in those big
brown eyes?
We’re sure that Elbert cares for curly auburn hair and all the charm-
ing manners you do possess.
Well Dorotha, heed a word of this
We’re sure we’re not mistaken in our little playful jest.
Well Flossie, here’s a word for you
Do you suppose that we could ever forget you.
There is just one thing we’re sure, you’re sincere in everything that you
might do.
You take part in our fun, and with your aid we won
In bringing honors to our own dear old high school.
Well Florence, here’s a tip from us
When in that motor boat you’re sailing, do not fret and fuss.
Now Robert, since your days are thru
We leave a word of love to help you when you are blue.
Robert, of all the boys we know, we must confess that you can never make
a show
Although you sit and pout, we dont know what about.
You make us feel like we could all just start and shout.
For Robert, with your endearing charms you really should have someone
to protect you from all harm.
Now Mabie, you are the last to tease,
We wonder if we can’t say something that will please-
You know, that you’re one darn good kid
Although the seniors crab most every thing you did.
With them, you had your way, though they had lots to say.
And now we’re glad that there is one who for you cares.
Well Mabie, Dud’s a loving boy who drives away your cares and brings
you happiness and joy.
Now seniors, days with you are past
As on you now we cast our long last loving glance.
Now seniors, seniors, now with you
We trust that you will always to our school be true.
With us to recall the past—some slow and others fast.
We hope that you will like us always one and all.
For seniors, as we say adieu
Just let your smiles chase away your frown
And let your smiles come shining thru.
THE SHOCK WOULD BE FATAL IF—
Miss Conaughty forgot to say, “I was talking, at least trying to”
Howard Berrells got his English handed in on time
Vincent Rafferty grew tall
Teddy Barnett studied his history
Ernest talked so you could hear him
George got a hundred in spelling
Juniors' Will to the Seniors
We, the Junior Class of King Ferry High School, being in full posses-
sion of our mental faculties such as we possess, do hereby bequeath to
our high toned friends, the Seniors, who visited Washington, some of our
precious energy to be held and treasured for a life time. These treasures
to the sweethearted, sweet tempered and sleepy people are too numerous
for us to mention. Our slight Junior knowledge does not surpass your
brilliant ways, good looks and egotism. These most treasured gifts we
hand to the former Senior Class; To:
Elfreida Sullivan—McClary and a bench to recall the hours she and “Mike”
spent togethei’ in the back seat of the study hall.
Maxine Hall—An edition of the “Collier’s” magazine.
Dorotha Mann—A can of Campbell’s soup so that she may have the name
if not the boy.
Donald Streeter—A car so that he may step in ahead of Vic and a bathtub
to take a daily snooze in.
Robert Bradley—A pillow so that he can day dream with more ease.
James Nedrow—A padlock, purse and chain for the purpose of keeping
his purse safely guarded from his Senior friends and always attached
to him.
Florence Sheils—A pick and shovel so that she will be able to enlarge their
creek and have a ride in “Bud’s” motor boat.
Robert Barnhart—A medal as a reward for his excellent work on the
basketball team during his four years of high school.
Mabel Hewes—A bouquet of roses to remind her of the ones “Dud”
brought her.
Bernard Keim—A “non-strikeable” clock so his mother won’t know what
time he returns home in the morning.
Herbert Van Nest—A blonde doll as most gentlemen prefer blondes.
Dellaphine Northcott—A nine period school day so that she may have
a special period when there aren’t those disturbing Juniors.
Miss Conaughty: (in Geography class) What is the purpose of a lock?
Vernon Stewart: To lower and higher boats.
Miss Conaughty: (In Geography class) Why do the milkers on dairy farms
wear white suits when milking?
Winifred Page: So they can see the dirt.
Miss Conaughty:(In History class) Who founded San Domingo?
Marian Wilbur: Thinking she meant who found page in book). I did.
Mrs. Frier (speaking to McClary who was making eyes at Elfreida) : Come
now McClary, go to class and save your courting until after school.
Miss Searles: (telling Eleanor Wilbur how to sing her part). Sing it as if
you were in the distance.
Eleanor Wilbur: Yes, I guess for the comfort of others I’ll need to sing
in the distance.
Tumor Class
The Junior class of King Ferry High School organized the fore part
of the year with: Stephen Hunt, president; Elizabeth Willis, vice-presi-
dent; Eleanor Brill, secretary and treasuer; Mrs. Frier, faculty adviser.
The Juniors’ first attempt towards making money toward their trip
to Washington next year was a roller skating party held in Community
Hall at which we made $14.32. At this time the Juniors entertained the
Seniors. The faculty and members cf the Board of Education were also
invited.
On November 3, a fudge party was h >ld at the home of Margaret
Rafferty. This was a social event for Juniors and their friends.
During the winter we went on a sleigh ride party to Genoa where we
enjoyed the evening roller skating at Van’s Rink.
In the Spring as has been the custom before, the Juniors sold seeds
and kept one-half the profit for their labor. At this campaign we made
$2.16. Later we sponsored a play given by “The Hueston Club” of the
First Presbyterian Church of Auburn. At this we made $5.55.
We placed our money in Genoa Bank as we earned it and we believe
we have a good start towards our goal for our Senior year.
The Juniors in the above picture are: standing, left to right; Mrs.
Frier, faculty adviser; Everett Ellison, Myles Colgan. Stephan Hunt,

been looked forward to for four long years by the seniors.
Miss Searles: Yes, four long seniors have looked forward to it.
Dorothy to Elfreida: I wish I was little like you.
Alice: So do I. There wouldn’t be so much of you then.
Miss Searles: Donald, why don’t you ever try to be first? You know
it’s the early bird who catches the worm.
Donald: I don’t like worms.
Donald Streeter: Miss Wagner, can I go down town and phone my
father to tell him I didn’t come home last night?
Freshman Class
The Freshman class of King Ferry High School organized the first
part of the year with 21 members. They elected Lillian Cook, president;
Millard Van Nest, vice-president; Dorothy Smith, secretary and Miss
Elsie Clark, faculty adviser.
On November twenty-fourth the Freshmen held a party at the home
of Miss Nora Sutphin. They also held a bake sale at Roy Tuttle’s Store
to earn money to pay for the picture taken of the class. They made three
dollars and a half.
The Freshmen in the above picture are, left to right, back row, as
follows: Merton Rowland, David Myers, McClary Avery, Vernon Par-
menter, Leo Sullivan, J. D. Franklin; middle row, left to right; Ruby
Smith, Florence Townley, Nora Sutphin, Lillian Cook, Alice Wager, Donald

Those who belong to the freshman class but are not included in th ?
picture are: Nancy Bower, Claud Coomber, Earl Coomber and Everett
Stewart.
The class also had five other members who moved away during the
year. They were: Lester Bowman, Virginia Bowman, Lee Jones, Alice
La Barr and Katherine Wilbur.
Intermediate Room
A bird club was started and the members received their badges and
bird pictures. A bird chart was made.
A Students’ Council was formed in our room with Jerry Mahaney
as president; Gordon Cummings, secretary and treasurer; Lucille Bradley,
sixth grade representative; Henry Parmenter, fifth grade representative;
and Katherine Berrells, fourth grade representative. Meetings were held
after school each Friday.
Lucille Bradley and Alice Barnett were the winners of the Spelling
contest.
We received some new books consisting of live Carpenter’s new Geo-
graphical readers on Africa, North America, Europe, South America and
Asia.
This year the sixth grade gave a debate on "Is School Beneficial Be-
ginning at 8:30.” The affirmative side won. The judges were Miss Wag-
ner and Mrs. Tuttle.
We have new maps on: North America, Europe, South America, Aus-
tralia and a world map. Both cur room and Miss Conaughty’s use them.
The Student Council of the intermediate room had Lincoln’s p ctu.e
fixed as the glass was broken in it.
Primary Department
We had nine new books added to our library in April. We enjoyed
them very much and we wish to thank the Board of Education for them.
Marjorie Page left our school the first of June. We have missed her
very much. Mrs. Tuttle gave a little farewell party in her honor.
Charles May won a red ribbon Field Day, for throwing the baseball.
The Brownie Scouts attended the Mother and Scout banquet, May 21.
We received our Brownie pins at that meeting The Brownie Scouts were
organized at the beginning of the school year. We have enjoyed the meet-
ings very much.

Beatrice: Mary.
Mrs. Tuttle: (in number class) What part of a foot is six inches?
Gladys: The back part.
Mrs. Tuttle: (in geography class) Name a food eaten by the Eskimo.
Betty Jane: Potato chips.
WE WONDER IF
Miss Wagner was ever “Bored of Education.”
Why Miss Clark says “For the Love of Mike.”
Miss Searles in French class to Everett, chewing gum: Everett, I can’t
stand to see your jaw moving up and down. Put it in the stove.
The Boy Scout troop of King Ferry has successfully carried on another
year. During the winter months the weekly meetings were held Wednes-
day night in the Masonic Hall. Mr. Eugene Bradley has taken the place
of Rev. Stanley Page as Scoutmaster. Henry Parmenter, Vernon Stewart
and Frederick Buckhout joined the troop during the year. Instruction
on some certain topic was given each week to the entire group, then each
boy was helped in passing tests that were required for the next rank. The
graves of the soldiers in both cemeteries were decorated on Decoration Day.
As soon as the weather permitted the meetings were held out-of-doors.
Many of the meetings were afternoon or over-night hikes. Some of the
scouts are planning to spend a week at Camp Rotary on Owasco Lake this
summer. Paul Murray and Vincent Rafferty are this year’s patrol leaders.
Edward Murray has secured his five-year Veteran Scout rank.
Club
Mr. Dorrance, the County Club Agent came April 16 and formed a
4-H Club in the seventh and eighth grades. Eleven new members enrolled.
Mr. Dorrance acted as chairman until the following officers were elected:
President, Schuyler Quick; Vice-President, Anene Cummings; Sec-
retary, Paul Murray; Treasurer, Vincent Rafferty. Mr. Frier is acting
as our local leader. We are planning to have two meetings a month.

of the school.
