Editorial
Through the pages of our 1931 “Ferry Boat”, the staff has attempted
to give the friends and patrons of our community an opportunity to judge
for themselves what our school has been doing. We realize how difficult it
would be to surpass the excellent work and effect previous staffs have
produced, and are striving to publish at this Commencement time a “Ferry
Boat” that will be received as heartily by the community as those pub-
lished by former classes. In order to receive the greatest enjoyment and
understanding from reading our annual, we suggest that our readers
allow their thoughts to rove with us to athletic fields and halls of oratory.
We wish to thank local and out-of-town business concerns for their
generous gifts, which have been necessary in carrying out the plans for
our annual. We trust that their advertising has not been done in vain.
It is the sincere hope of the staff that the “Ferry Boat” may create
a more perfect understanding lietween the students of our school and
the people of our community.
History of the Class of 1931
Our Senior Class came into existence in September, 1928, except
for one, who entered in the Fall of 1929. Our four years’ experiences in
high school certainly have not been wasted.
In our early infancy we were like most all freshmen classes, green but
promising. During the first two years of cur high school life we did not
organize, we simply learned what makes the wheels of knowledge go
’round. The algebra course changed cur a, b, c’s to x, y, z’s, but after a
hard struggle we became very proud to think that our class came through
our first year with flying colors.
As sophomores we were able to look down upon the freshmen that
came after us. We gathered much more knowledge and tried to prove to
the world how sophisticated we really were.
In our junior year our heads and minds had grown considerably and
we were pleased to have one more lower class to look down upon. We
then began to feel as though we were going to be of some importance and
we organized with: Stephen Hunt, president; Elizabeth Willis, vice pres-
ident; Eleanor Brill, secretary and treasurer; Mrs. Frier, faculty adviser.
The class worked hard to earn money for our Washington trip in our
Senior year. The first thing we did was to hold a roller skating party at
which we made our first fourteen dollars. In the Spring we sold seeds and
kept one-half the profit. Later we sponsored a play given by The Hues-
ton Club of the First Presbyterian Church of Auburn. We placed our
money as we earned it, in the Genoa Bank and we believed we had a good
start towards our goal for our Senior year.
When we entered our last year as dignified Seniors we determined
to win. We organized with Dorothy Rowland, president; Elizabeth
Willis, vice president; Eleanor Wilbur, secretary; Eleanor Brill, treasurer;
Miss Kenney and Mr. Frier, faculty advisers. We strove that our class
might be the finest possible and hoped that it would be something of
which we would always be proud.
As our minds turned toward our Washington trip, we realized
that we would have to start early to earn money. We held several din-
ners and we held three dances in Northville Hall. In March we presented
the play, “Fickle Fortune”. Among the other activities were: a supper
after which we presented three short skits, and served at a dance, given
by Joseph Fox and Henry Dempsey. Our bank account grew rapidly and
Easter vacation was near at hand.
The third of April, the time for our trip to Washington, arrived. We
could hardly believe we were awake. Our class of ten with Miss Wagner,
as chaperone, left Ithaca Friday morning and arrived at Union Station in
Washington at about eight that night. We were taken to Hotel Harring-
ton a dirty, but happy bunch. We stayed in Washington until Wednesday
noon during which time we visited Mt. Vernon, the Capitol, White House,
United States Mint, Bureau of Printing and Engraving, Washington s
Monument, Lincoln Memorial, Zoological Gardens, Arlington ( emeteiy and
other government buildings. We were unable to see the egg rolling contest
on the White House lawn as previous classes have, due to the rainy
weather. It rained nearly all the time we were in Washington, but we
didn’t let a little thing like that keep us from enjoying ourselves.
Wednesday afternoon we went to Annapolis and visited the Naval
Academy. Wednesday night we found ourselves in Philadelphia at the
Benjamin Franklin Hotel. While in Philadelphia we visited Independence
Hall, The Curtis Publishing Company, Betsey Ross house and a few other
buildings.
Friday night at 12 o’clock we were on the train for home. At 7:45
a. m. we arrived in Ithaca, a more sober group than had left only a week
before. We were all glad to reach home again.
Our last class activity has been the publishing of the “Ferry Boat.”
All classes have contributed to its pages and we hope it will reach every
home in our community.
With Commencement days comes the end of our four years together.
May each and everyone of us find something to do which will be as great
a pleasure as our four years of school life have been.
Phophecy of a Prophet
One evening after a very eventful day I sat down for a peaceful
hour of rest. At length my thoughts began to wander to my High School
clays and especially to the class of ’31. I had had the pleasure of seeing
all my classmates except Elizabeth Willis, who had been touring in Europe
since graduation. As I picked up the evening paper the headline, “King-
Ferry Graduate of ’31 Taken into Firm” caught my eye. Immediately
my interest was drawn and I continued reading further.
The article read as follows:
“Miss Willis spent several months studing interior decorating and
work as a “carpenter.” However, her work was interrupted by the death
of a very dear friend. She not being able to carry on in her work, decided
to spend a few months at the seashore after her strenuous study in Europe.
Here she became very popular and won the National Beauty Contest.
After several years on the stage she attempted a business college at De-
troit and finally became a very noted secretary. After being secretary in
“The Hupmobile Manufacturing Company” she has now become “Head
of the Firm.”
At last, I had succeeded in finding the lost member of the Class of ’31
and I retired much at ease.
Like a beautiful dawning, our life work begins
’Till sunset comes and ends earthly things.
Life’s not a dawning without any sun,
For ’midst our living, there is work and there’s fun
’Tho your sorrows be many anti pleasures be few
You learn to enjoy what’s given to you.
Dorothy Rowland, ’31.
Class Prophecy
It was gorgeous out. The trees were just in bloom. Even the tulips
were out to enjoy the beautiful Spring air. All these things had caught
my interest until to my amazement a mail man stood in front of the steps
patiently waiting for me to take the letter he was handing me. Yes, it was
for me but from whom could it be? Something about the writing on
that envelope was familiar. I read the letter only to find that it was from
my dearest classmate, Eleanor Wilbur. She said that her daughter who
was graduating from King Ferry High in June had found out through
one of the alumni where I was living. Eleanor wanted me to visit her
and to plan my stay so as to be at the alumni banquet.
Of course I was glad to go back to dear old King Ferry, but a feeling
of sadness crept through my mind. It had been thirty years since the
Seniors of ’31 had all been together. I had corresponded for awhile with
some of them but soon this ceased and I had lost all track of my friends.
I wondered where they were, and if they were happy and well; but soon
my wonder was lost in the excitement of preparing for my trip by air.
As I reached the landing field at King Ferry, I was much surprised
to find a beautiful hangar and several planes. Coming toward me was a
woman nicely dressed and beside her a beautiful girl. Could this be Elea-
nor and her daughter? Sure enough it was. After a few minutes’ con-
versation we whizzed away in Eleanor’s Packard to the Fowler mansion.
Here Eleanor said she had lived ever since she had married which was
five years after graduation.
On our way we passed a beautiful building which I was informed was
tbj school. Ah! How well I remembered the work and effort placed in
that building by the president of the board of ’31.
We next passed a beautiful farm where Eleanor told me that Eleanor
Brill and her husband were living. She was also the pipe-organist at the
church. I was very glad to hear that Eleanor Brill was well and happy
but as for her destination I was not in the least surprised, for I rather
expected her to marry soon after graduation.
I enjoyed the commencement exercises but waited longingly for the
Alumni Banquet. Very few from the class of ’31 came back for ccm-
mencement.
At last the evening for the banquet arrived. The dinner was served
in the school gymnasium and a caterer had been secured to serve the meal.
As I looked about, cnly seven of my classmates were visible so I
turned and questioned Eleanor. She, too, found that Dorothy Rowland,
the president of that most noted class, Ernestine Clayton and Stephen
Hunt were missing. However, during the meal I had the opportunity to
talk to those that were present.
Everett said that after graduation from Cornell he had gone abroad
for further study. While in Europe, he had become very famous as a
sports editor and had made his home in Paris. At the present time he had
returned to America for a vacation, but was to return again to Paris the
following May. He also told me that Dorothy Rowland was in Paris act-
ing as a model for a firm. I at once thought that Dorothy must be happy
for I remembered so well how she loved to try on everyone’s clothes
and go parading around. Everett said she had sung once in Grand
Opera taking the place of a great alto soloist who had been ill during its
presentation.
After concluding my visit with Everett I turned to tell Eleanor what
I had learned when at another table someone said, “You poor kid”. I
immediately thought of the comedian of our class, Myles Colgan, and
glanced around to see if it were Myles. Sure enough and if he hadn’t
spilled his glass of water all over the lady next to him ! This was so like
the Myles of our class that I just had to ask him where lie was living and
what he was doing. He replied that just now his occupation was apologi-
zing to the lady but before he came to the banquet he was the best farmer
in Log City. Our conversation was at this point interrupted and all atten-
tion directed toward the kitchen doorway where a poor waitress was
meekly taking a bawling out from the caterer. As 1 watched the caterer
something about his actions reminded me of Stephen Hunt. Of course I
knew Stephen always liked to “cook” but for him to serve his own alumni
dinner was absurd.
I dropped this thought in midair and again continued my conversa-
tion with Myles. He, too, thought that the caterer looked like “Steve” and
said to me, “Now didn’t that man look like my old pal”. I agreed with
him and so it was decided that we would venture to the kitchen immed-
iately after dinner.
While waiting for the last course to be served I discovered Luella
Corwin near me. She said she had never married, as upon leaving high
school she had been terribly disappointed in a love affair and had never
since desired to marry. However she had the position of private secretary
for the world’s greatest financier, James Marvin. She said Marvin did
much traveling especially by sea and she being required to go with him had
seen a great deal of the world. In fact she had just returned from Moon-
shine Falls near Prospect Point, Aurora, New York. It happened that
just now “Jim” as she called him, was on a business trip to Arkport thus
making it possible for her to attend the banquet.
Sitting next to Luella was Margaret Rafferty. How well Margaret
looked ! She had lost some of her weight since school but not too much. 1
asked Margaret where and what she was doing. The summer following
graduation she said she had devoutly spent in learning to swim. She had
entered several national swimming contests and was hoping soon to enter
an international meet. At present Margaret said she had a position as
life saver for the Canadian government at a summer resort located at
Murray Baj on the St. Lawrence river.
By this time everything being eaten except the dishes and the silver
carefully stowed away, Myles and I were on our way to the kitchen. In
this brief time I succeeded in learning still more of Myles. He had pur-
chased a farm in Guinea or rather the territory known by that name when
1 was in high school and had some beautiful rose gardens.
He was very proud of these because in the past twenty years or so
as a reward for his hard and earnest work he had succeeded in growing a
green rose. I thought “what an accomplishment for Myles as he was
never serious long enough in school to even realize that there were no
green roses.” I was awakened from this thought as I heard Myles speak-
ing to the caterer. “Yes, I’m Stephen Hunt”, the caterer replied, “What
may 1 do for you?” At this point Myles burst into laughter and said, ’’Now
“Steve” come across and tell your pals all about yourself.” So, after due
consideration and plenty of deliberation we were asked to be seated and
soon “Steve” was giving us his personal history.
After finishing a course in Hotel Management at Cornell he had
started a hotel of his own. This didn’t work very well so he decided to
go out and serve meals such as the one he had just served. At this point
Myles and I began to blush with shame as we thought of our senior dinners
of ’31. How could we ever have even thought they were good. Further-
more how could the town’s people ever have stood by us when we served
such terrible things; yet everyone seemed to live through them so perhaps
they weren’t so bad.
As Myles and I journeyed back to our classmates I began to think of
them all. I discovered that still one was missing. This person was Er-
nestine Clayton. No one seemed to know just exactly where she was, but
by everyone telling what he did know7, I found out that after 5 or 6 years
of nursing she had decided to form a society for “Fat Women”. These
women had as their motto, “Fight Sin”. As near as I could find out these
twenty-five women were now in Florida working among the bathing-
beauties. Also much to my surprise Ernestine had five daughters in Wells
College! This was really a shock because Ernestine said that never would
any child of hers go to Wells College. In fact she said that they’d go to
prison first.
Of my ten classmates, Ernestine was the only one that surprised
me, but it only goes to prove what time will do if it’s given a chance. I
returned home that evening happier than I’d been in ages wondering what
thirty more years would bring forth.
Miss Clark: “Edna, where’s your pie?”
Edna: “It’s on the floor, if you want it, I’ll pick it up.”
Peg (breaking her beads in study hall) : “Well, I might just as well stand
up and shake.”
Miss Simkin: “Aesthetic is the science of beauty.”
Mose: “No, it’s cosmetic that makes beauty.”
Miss Wagner: “Who won the Punic Wars?”
Elizabeth Willis:: “Carthage I guess, I don’t remember.’’
Miss Clark: “Name the most famous valley in California.
Gordon Colgan: “Rudy Vallee.”

Seniors' Song to the Juniors
Juniors now is our chance to say what we think of you.
We don’t like to talk about you, but what can we do?
So here’s to “Tiny”, James and Leona too,
Millard, Tony, and Edward too,
Helen, Fredy, “Gene”, Myles
We’re ready for you
“Tiny”, you’re so jolly and you’re so darn clever too
You’re right there at managing a class and the men too.
Then there was Casler, Oh! how he stuck to you
Even after you said, “We’re through.”
Then you were a hiding while Walt searched for you.
“Tony”, you’re a member of that Log City crew.
We wonder if you worry when Leona goes out with “Cy.”
You couldn’t catch the ball when it came your way.
That’s why now they’re bound to say
“ Tony likes Leona and he shows it too.”
Fredy, what a time you have with your lady friends too.
Midge is so sweet that you can’t resist liking her.
Then there is Ruby who’s a great friend of Midge,
She likes to go out with just you.
We’re happy when you’re happy,
’Cause we like you.
Myles, Myles, Myles of you, there just never could be.
We think you’re the best bluffer we ever have seen.
You get away with things that we’d never dream,
You do it in fun it just seems
The teachers don’t seem to mind a thing you do.
“Cy”, friendly and studious and you’re athletic too.
“Cy”, you’re just another of those with the “bum knees”,
You think that “Tiny” is the one girl for you
We think that “Nan” has her place too,
You’d better keep watch or Casler may get you.
“Gene”, you are sure one great big clown most all the time.
You dance around, clown around, and folks don’t seem to mind.
You are mother’s honey, sonny boy too;
You get away when there’s work to do.
What will you do now when Tina’s gone away?
Helen, would you mind answering questions just in fun?
Then would you please tell us where you got your fox fur from?
You wear it every time you’re going out;
It’s quite nice, we must agree
But Helen, does Harold know there are road men too?
James, how does it happen that you make such a hit?
We hardly expected you’d fall for any girl.
We still think Nora’s at the head of the list,
Though you pretend all is a-miss.
But, James if you had no girl we would still like you.
“Buckwheat”, they call you and we think it’s a good name
They say that you like “it” —
We mean the Log City seal.
You think that Tony is so unusual
Well he is and that’s why you fell.
Leona do you think of poor Lloyd now?
“Ed”, will you please tell us what this trash all can mean?
When “Peg” was in Washington, you went on a spree.
You rushed the girls around like you didn’t care.
When she came back, you gave them the air.
You took Florence to Ithaca and “Lil” to a dance.
We have tried real hard to say things to please you the most
If we have succeeded, then you have nought to regret.
However, if you don’t like something we’ve said,
Stand right up and tell us you are mad.
For now is the time to right the wrong we’ve done.
A FRESHMAN’S OPINION OF THE SENIORS
Eleven Seniors, oh so bold
We can’t understand how their places, they hold,
Giggling, laughing, all the day
That’s what we Freshmen say about the Seniors.
In study hall they laugh and play
By them a teacher has to stand all day.
The way they carry on in class
We wonder that they ever expect to pass
Oh the Seniors
They look upon us as a regular dunce,
They never think they too were Freshmen once.
Sometimes they even call us green
They’re the worst people we’ve ever seen.
Yes, the Seniors.
We’re sorry that they are leaving.
But we know that it is so.
We only hope that they’ll be Freshmen
In the next school where they go.
Good-bye Seniors.
Mary Colgan ’34
Seniors' Song to the Faculty
Here’s to Mr. Frier, our Prof,
He says all of us make him laugh,
’Cause he always walks into the study hall,
When we don’t ’spect him at all.
He’s a darn good fellow that’s he,
Just as strict as he can be
’Though we never find him where we think he 11 be,
When we’re cutting up with glee,
’Though his wife prefers him home,
He is never there at all,
Trying to get that new school
For the kids left here,
But we like him very much
’Though we sometimes get in dutch
We sure hate to leave him but the time comes
For us all to say good-bye.
Here’s to Helen Wagner, our Chap,
To Washington ’n back,
She’s a right good sport we’ll all admit
And with us she’s made a big hit.
She’s the one who teaches us math,
Makes us think we never will pass
But she’s always in with the rest of us,
On the parties where we go.
Next Miss Kenney, frail and sweet,
Who loves none, but one, at all
’Cept her man in Syracuse
Who comes out each week
He’s her weakness now we know
And that only goes to show,
That the Class of ’31 will wish her
All the luck wherever she goes.
Then Miss Simkin is the Coach,
Of the basketball ’tis true,
She’s had much trouble with the English IV
But we hope at last we’re through
But a very good sport is she,
She’s always filled with glee,
But we never can forget Miss Simkin
Wherever she may be
Next Miss Clark who goes out riding.
In Al’s little sporty Ford,
But it’s best that she doesn’t roam,
She might have to walk home,
We’re sure Al’s car isn’t secure,
And the joy isn’t so pure,
When the wheels run off and they run out of gas
When he takes his Elsie to plays.
MY DEAR FACULTY
Miss Simkin, deal' is my greatest pal,
In History B she does quite well,
She talks a lot to quiet me,
But Vernon’s the one she just can’t see.
With Miss Wagner I have nothing to do,
For with Algebra I just got through,
With x’s and a’s and m’s to use,
I’m sure 1 could never have time for the blues.
Miss Clark and I agree quite well,
But what she’ll say I can never tell •
When my stitches are crooked and my seams ain’t done,
I always know it’s no time for fun.
Of Miss Kenney sweet, I take French too,
Although with civics I’m not yet through.
With politics I have such trouble.
That nite and day it makes me struggle.
Mr. Frier is busy with Centralization,
Making us think it’s a big sensation.
As time flies on it will prove he is right,
Then our neighbors will have no cause to fight.
This is our faculty, all in a row,
We know them well from head to toe.
We would miss them much if they should leave,
But we’re not sure how much they would grieve.
Alice Wager, ’33.
Miss Kenney (Civics Class) : “What is a Congressman at large?”
John Streeter: “One of these big, tat, rich iellows.”
Ansel Berrells :“A Congressman on his vacation.”
Merrill (leaving History class) : “Miss Simkins, what war are we going
to fight tomorrow”?
Miss Simkin: “I don’t know, we have a lot of wars in here every day.”
Student Council
The Student Council was elected in October. The first meeting was
held October third. The officers elected were as follows: Stephen Hunt,
president; Lillian Cook, secretary and treasurer; Elizabeth Willis,
Senior representative; Millard Van Nest, Junior representative- David
Myers, sophomore representative; Gordon Fritts, freshman representa-
tive; Arlene Cummings, representative of seventh and eighth grade
room; Miss Clark and Miss Wagner faculty advisers.
A “Hot Dog” roast was sponsored by the Students’ Council for the
high school and eighth grade room.
A constitution has been adopted by the Student Council for future
years. The Council has been very thoughtful of the sick this year by
sending flowers anti sunshine boxes to many. Rings were chosen by the
Council which are to be standard for the next four years. It was also
decided that no one would receive their school rings until they reach the
junior year. The President of the Council has secured speakers for
assembly all the year.
Seated, left to right, front row are: Miss Elsie Clark, Lillian Cook,
Stephen Hunt, Elizabeth Willis, Miss Helen Wagner; back row: Gordon
Fritts, David Myers, and Millard Van Nest.
Literary Club
A Literary Club organized this year for the first time in the history
of the school. Elizabeth Willis was elected Editor-in-Chief, and Eleanor
Wilbur, assistant editor.
The club purchased pins, which were the shape of a small shield with
a design in two colors, blue and amber with K. F. L. C. ’31 printed on the
band of amber in black letters. Later the club planned a hot dog roast.
(t was to be held at the lake, but due to the rainy weather, it was held at
the home of Luella Corwin. The club had its picture taken for the year
book. The members standing, left to right; Dorothy Rowland, senior
editor; J. D. Franklin, assembly editor; Everett Ellison, sports editor;
Paul Murray, boy scout editor; Charles Corey, Young Farmer’s editor •
Margaret Rafferty, miscellaneous editor; seated, left to right; Ernestine
Clayton, Girl Scout editor; Rose Lick, homemaking class editor; Luella
Corwin, Literary Club editor; Elizabeth Willis, editor-in-chief; Eleanor
Wilbur, assistant editor; Leona Buckhout, Junior class editor; Lillian
Cook, Student Council editor. Each editor was held responsible for the
news concerning the class or groups with which his name was connected.
The news was printed in a portion of the Southern Cayuga Tribune
under “King Ferry School Life”. This space was reserved by Mr. Long
for our school news and in recognition of the efforts of the club editors,
Mr. Long is offering rewards to students who have furnished the best
articles.
Club members hope that the Literary Club may continue next year
for it has been one of our most active organizations this year.

Parent-Teacher Association
The Parent-Teacher Association has carried on its work during the
past year under the following officers: Mrs. William Frost, president; Mrs.
Joseph Fox, vice president; Miss S. J, Conaughty, secretary; and Mrs.
Dayton Atwater, treasurer.
Some very interesting seakers have been obtained. Among them are,
E. A. Frier, Jr., who spoke on, “The School Child and Health;” Mrs. Bris-
ter, who spoke on, “Recreation in Home and Community;” Professor
Moore from Cornell, whose speech was entitled, “Better American Citi-
zenship;” and Professor Butterworth of Cornell, who spoke on, “Educa-
tional Adventures of a Parent.”
The association has done much to bring about a closer relationship
between pupil and parent. The usual Hallowe’en party was held in the
Community hall and was well attended. During the Winter months hot
lunches were served to the school children. Two dinners were held to
raise money to finance a dental campaign in the school. This campaign
included having all the pupils’ teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist, who
came to the school and did the work.
The following committee was appointed by Mrs. William Frost to
serve during 1930-31: Mrs. Willis, Mrs. Joseph Atwater, Mrs Ray Elli-
son, program; Mrs. Ray McCormick, Mrs. Ivan Smith, Mrs. Merritt Winn,
Mrs. Walter Corey, membership; Mrs. E. S. Fessenden, Mrs. Holland,
Miss Elsie Clark, social; Mrs. Herbert Rafferty, E. A. Frier, Mrs. Byron
Fritts, ways and means; Mrs. Roy A. Tuttle, Mrs. William Desmond,
Mrs. Samuel Fessenden, child welfare.

SPRING
Spring comes dancing over the meadow,
Dressed in an arrayment of green and yellow,
Everyone greets her with a smile,
Hoping she’s come to stay for awhile.
What is the message she brings with her coming?
Violets are blossoming and small streams are running.
Eleanor Brill ’31
Everett Stewart: “Did you ever take chloroform”?
Claude Mann: ‘‘No, who teaches that”?
Dave Myers: “I’m a mind reader, I can read anybody’s thoughts.”
Steve: “In that case, I beg your pardon.”
The Senior Play
The Senior class presented a three-act play, “Fickle Fortune” as a
means of raising money for their trip to Washington during Easter vaca-
tion. By presenting it twice, both times at King Ferry, about seventy
dollars were raised.
The settings of the play are at the Warren homestead, and later at the
Warren mansion. The family life of the Warrens undergoes a tremendous
change when they come into a fortune left by their eccentric aunt Eliza,
who has died under unusual circumstances.
Gloria, the beautiful daughter, fairly revels in their newly found
wealth and goes to extremes, when, by a queer turn of events, the fortune
is suddenly transferred to Cuppers, the butler. Fortunately for Gloria,
she is able to overcome this difficulty by marrying him. Cuppers is a good
sort and you can’t help liking him, but you don’t feel fully satisfied to
think he is to control the millions. Developments of the most surprising
sort, including the return of Aunt Eliza, occur and the fickle fortune finally
finds a permanent place with the folks who should have it. Aunt Eliza left
her money to that person or persons who were in attendance upon her in
her last moments on earth and Cuppers proves to be the person.
The cast of characters were:
Mrs. Warren
Gloria Warren (Mrs. Warren's daughter)
Tony Warren (Mrs. Warren’s daughter)
Roxanna Blossom (an old family servant)
Brant Allen
Lily (a maid)

Seniors'1 Farewell Song
Tune:TAe Waltz You Saved for Me
Farewell to you, our Alma Mater
As we leave your halls to-day
Farewell to you, and to our school days
They ever will be dear.
We’ll say farewell but not forever
To the school we love so well
Here’s, then, the last farewell song
From the class of ’31.

Prize Speaking
Much interest has turned toward prize speaking this year.
The local boys’ and girls’ contest was held May 16 at the Community
Hall. Three prizes were awarded by the Board of Education; the first
of $5, second $3, and third $2. Three boys and three girls gave declama-
tions. They were: Lillian Cook, “The Highwayman”; Nora Sutphin,
“The Thrush”. Olive Nedrow, “The Second Trial”; Edison Quinn, “The
Eloquence of Daniel O’Connel”; Eugene Clayton, “Mar”; Fredy Rafferty,
“The Little Regiment”.
Edison Quinn received the first boys’ prize Fredy Rafferty, second
and Eugene Clayton, third.
Lillian Cook received the first girls’ prize, Olive Nedrow, second and
Nora Sutphin, third.
On May 22, the county contest for boys was held at Moravia. The
first prize was awarded to Edison Quinn from King Ferry, and second
to the representative from Union Springs.
The girls’ county contest was held May 29, in Union Springs. The
first prize was awarded to the representative from Moravia, second to
the representative from Union Springs and Aurora received honorable
mention.
Much credit is due Miss Charlotte Simkin who spent much time in
coaching the participants.
BEYOND THE SUNSET—
After the battle is gallantly won,
After our work on earth is done,
With standards held high,
Towards the flaming sky,
We pass to the arms of our Maker.
Like the morning sun we came,
Out of that Unknown land.
And like the sunset we fade,
Passing on with the mighty band.
We stand on the brink of the great divide,
And bravely face the opposite side.
We breath farewell to the battles won
And turn again to the setting sun.
The dusk wraps us in a shroud of gray
Like the glimmering landscape we fade away.
Like knights of old, we have learned to love,
And we pass back, to our Maker above.
Eleanor S. Wilbur, ’31.
Two Prize Speeches
It was a glorious November afternoon. Elsie Taber, coming from
the school courts with tennis racket in hand, paused suddenly. She had
just come in sight of the stone steps leading to the library door, where a
group of girls were crowded around the foot.
“Go to it, Virginia!”
“Virginia, you are a natural born orator!”
Above them, four steps up, stood a girl delivering a speech. Her brown
eyes danced, her hands moved vivaciously in tune with expression, but her
French accent gave an effect of running the words together.
“That’s some speech!” cried Beatrice Anderson, as Virginia was
loudly applauded.
“Virginia, 1 believe you will win !”
Virginia glanced back and said, “All that I need now is the book of the
Standard. I must have it before I finish.”
There was no one in the college so attractive and witty as this girl,
Virginia. Any speech of her’s would make a tremendous impression. And
Elsie had set her heart on that fifty dollar prize!
Elsie had gone only a few steps when she stopped dead in the path.
Why not go straight to the library and get the book herself? That would
hold Virginia back in her speech. She stood thinking whether to do it or
not; really there was no harm in it. She needed the money. Her people
were working very hard to find money enough to send her to college for
these three years. It wasn’t as if she were really doing anything to
Virginia. Thus she made her decision and raced back to the library. The
librarian looked curious when Elsie asked for the book.
“But you’re one of the contestants, aren’t you? Well, then, I suppose
you may have it.”
Elsie breathed a sigh of relief and took the book to her room where it
was carefully put in her trunk. That evening in the dining room Miss
William called Elsie aside.
“Elsie, a telegram has just come saying your roommate, Jane Gray,
must leave school for the rest of the term. I wonder if you would be will-
ing to have Virginia come in with you.”
“Why of course, Miss William.”
Virginia moved in that evening.
“I love being here with you, Elsie, and you play such wonderful tennis,
it is an honor. Maybe you can teach me.”
“Virginia, don’t be a goose! It is nice of you, but there are lots of
people? who can play better than I.”
Late that evening, Mabie Green came over to say she had permission
for a taffy pull. Elsie and Virginia must be present.
Throughout the fun of the evening, Elsie felt uncomfortable; if only
Virginia had not come to the room with her. Before morning she felt even
worse, and spent a long half day in bed, while Virginia attended church.
Virginia was greatly excited when she rushed in after church.
“Elsie! We are going to have tea on the mountain cliff.”
Elsie fell back in her chair and sighed. Virginia looked at her and
hurried out of the room, returning in five minutes.
“Elsie! I’m sure you won’t mind walking as far as Pine Hollow.
Won’t you go? The other girls don’t mind.”
Why, Virginia! You wanted to go to the mountain cliff. You’ve
never been have you?”
Virginia shook her head. Just at this point two girls came dashing
into the room, informing the girls it was tea time. After tea Elsie went
straight to her trunk, took out the book and handed it to Virginia.
“I went to the library and got this yesterday when I heard you needed
it. I thought I would have a better chance to win. I-I’m sorry.”
“But why do you tell?”
“Because I couldn’t stand it any longer; you have been so nice to me.”
They caught each other in their arms.
“Elsie,” explained Virginia, “what a funny predicament.”
In the next few days, the girls kept together as much as possible,
helping each other and teaching each other.
Friday came. At three o’clock Elsie walked up to the auditorium.
She was so dazed and stage-frightened she hardly knew what was happen-
ing. Her hands were cold; she shook all over. To make matters worse
she was the last to speak.
Mabie Green spoke first, followed by Marjory and May Miller, Caro-
line Page, Jewell White, Virginia and then Elsie.
Elsie stepped forward and began. For the first three minutes she
could not have told a word she said. Soon she began to recognize familiar
faces in the audience. By this time the stage fright had pretty well worn
off and she heard her own voice. When Elsie finished, there was a thunder
of applause.
Miss Bell leaned forward and whispered:
“Elsie you’ve conquered your old enemy of mumbling.”
“Did I speak like that from the first?”
Miss Bell nodded. Doctor Brown the judge, rose and advanced to
speak.
“Two of the speeches,” he said, “were very closely tied for the first
place. I refer of course to those of Elsie Taber and Virginia Howe. It
was very difficult to choose between them.
It gives me pleasure to present the prize to Elsie Taber.”
As Elsie’s fingers closed on the money, a thought swept over her
thankfully.
“I won on my own anyhow, and not by pulling Virginia back.”

The Young Farmers' Club
The Young Farmer’s Club started the year by exhibiting some crops
at the county fair. Twenty-five dollars was won by the club from the ex-
hibit and James Mahaney won second prize in judging potatoes. The
crops were exhibited by five of the club members.
Eight candidates for membership to the original Young Farmer’s
Club, namely: Howard Berrells, Vincent Rafferty, James Hier, Merrill
Sprout, Gordon Colgan, George Wilbur, Frank Butts, and John Streeter,
went with the Club to Taughannock Falls to the annual Finger Lakes
Sectional Field Day. Honors were taken by several of our members. In
the early part of December these eight candidates were initiated and were
awarded the Green-Hand degree. Next year these will be awarded the
Young Farmer’s Degree.
Later the club presented an exhibit at the Annual Crop and Seed
Show at Auburn. Trophies were won by Charles Corey for a corn ex-
hibit and by Fredy Rafferty for a bean exhibit.
The Club attended Farm, and Home week at Ithaca, where several
members judged livestock, poultry, milk, potatoes, and fruit. Two mem-
bers, James Mahaney, and Millard Van Nest attended the Young Farmers’
banquet held at the end of the week.
This year the club entered the Finger Lakes Basketball League for
Young Farmers. The team was ahead in the league from the first game.
Stephen Hunt and Myles Colgan played forwards. James Mahaney,
center; and David Myers and Fredy Rafferty, guards. As a result of
the game with Homer, our team scored 70 points to their 10. The Weeds-
port game resulted in a 30 to 10 victory for us, and the Dryden game
gave us a 28 to 21 victory. Most of the club members went to Trumans-
burg to watch the team play the championship game with Horseheads.
After a hard game they managed to bring home the cup.
In all that the Club has attempted, success has been attained.
The last week in July, the Young Farmers’ Club is planning to hold
the annual banquet in Community Hall. Dr. A. K. Getman of the Agri-
cultural College will be the principal speaker. Other speakers will be
Dr. R. M. Stuart, Mr. E. R. Hoskins and Roy A. Tuttle, president of the
school board.
The banquet will be served by the Homemaker’s Club.
The guests will be Mr. E. P. Bradley, Mr. E. R. Howland, Mr. E. F. Smith,
Rev. G. M. Kalb, Rev. H. J. Gordon, Dr. T. F. Hatch and Mr. C. H. Long.
Assembly
The Student Council has had charge of assembly periods this year.
Speakers have been obtained and entertainment programs organized by
the Council. Among the speakers were: Professor Bob Adams of Cor-
nell, who spoke on Vegetables and also recited several original poems;
Bobby Jones, an excellent harmonica player; Rev. G. M. Kalb, who de-
livered an interesting speech on his experiences of the World War; Roy
Tuttle, who used “Centralization” as his topic; Mr. Long, whose speech
was entitled, “Writing for the Paper”; Rev. G. M. Kalb, using “Why We
Go to School”, as his theme; and Mr. Hadley of Poplar Ridge, who spoke
on “The Next War”, and who brought with him, Mr. Yamado, who also
spoke to the student body on his arrival in the United States. Mr. Daniels
conducted a musical program at one of the Assembly meetings.
Both Lincoln’s and Washington’s birthdays were celebrated by read-
ings and songs. The Student Council conducted a question box on Cen-
tralization through which many misunderstandings were cleared up.
Faculty and Glee Club members gave a musical program. The last
Assembly periods were devoted to declamations delivered by those who
took part in prize speaking.
The Young Honiemake/ s' Club
President, Margaret Colgan; Vice President, Lillian Cook; Secretary,
Alice Wager; Treasurer, Rose Lick.
The Young Homemakers’ Club is a new organization, dating its birth
from March of this Spring. Feeling that they needed an opportunity to
play together as well as work together, and wishing to bring all the Home-
making classes into one group, the Homemaking girls decided to form a
club which would give them this opportunity for social affairs. Every
girl who has had two years of Homemaking or is at the time taking the
course is eligible for membership. They met every two weeks.
So far the girls have had fun with their meetings. The first was a
social meeting entirely. Later there were other social and educational
meetings. In the latter part of May the Club gave a Fashion Show in
the Community Hall. It was the first to be given here by the Homemak-
ing department and everyone enjoyed putting it on.
The final get-together was a banquet to which all mothers were in-
vited. Each class worked out a skit for the program. The older members
of the Young Farmers’ Club served the banquet which the girls had pre-
pared themselves.
The Club is looking forward to a new, busy, and profitable year.
Alice Wager: “Miss Simkin that composition came out of my head.”
Leo Sullivan: “Yea’h it sounded as though you were out of your head
when you wrote it.”
Girl Scouts
The Girl Scouts started their activities with the beginning of school
last Fall. Miss Elsie Clark was chosen Scout Leader with Miss Grace
Kenney, lieutenant. The senior group of scouts divided into two patrols.
Elizabeth Willis was elected patrol leader and Rose Lick corporal of the
Sun Flower patrol. The other group chose the name Pine-Tree patrol,
and elected Leona Buckhout, leader and Ruby Smith, corporal.
Work was started at once on the requirements for the first class badge.
In September, the Senior troop entertained the Holly Troop from Au-
burn over the weekend. The day was packed full of good times and every
one enjoyed the hikes and parties which made up the type of program
that could be arranged in the country.
October eighteenth was Scout Day and the scouts wore their uni-
forms to church and took part in the program.
The scouts were invited to spend the weekend in Auburn as guests
of the Holly Troop. The entertainment in the city was a contrast to that
in the country and every one greatly enjoyed it. They saw the Auburn
High School play, “Fools Gold” Friday night. Saturday night they took
a trip through the Firth Carpet factory. It was very interesting to see
the process wool must go through before it becomes one of the beautiful
carpets we see in the homes. Each attended her respective church on
Sunday morning and returned home in the afternoon.
The next event of the season was the scout play which was entitled
the “Fortunate Calamity”. It was presented November twenty-first in
the Community Hall. The Troop made about thirty dollars which was well
worth the work and time put into it.
As the holiday season drew near, both patrols began to make block
printed Christmas cards. This not only afforded attractive cards for the
occasion, but also completed one of the requirements for the craftsman's
badge.
The scout play was repeated at Sherwood, but the crowd was small
and only a few dollars were made.
The scout troop helped in the entertainment for the Founder’s Day
program at the Parent-Teacher association meeting.
Several of the girls received badges at the Court of Honor at Au-
burn in February.
Miss Searles attended one of the meetings and showed how to make
maps for the first class badge.
This Spring the troops again entered the county contest. Points
were given for attendance, badges, home-service and other work. Miss
Searles promised to take six girls who had the most individual points on a
trip. The scouts worked hard fcr a period of ten wee s. First class
badges were earned by Elizabeth Willis, Ernestine Clayton, Leona Buck-
hout and Eleanor Wilbur. Many badges were passed besides a second
class badge for Alice Wager. When the contest ended, Elizabeth Willis’
Sun-flower patrol was ahead in the county while Leona Buckhout's Pine
Tree patrol came third.
The six girls who will make the trip with Miss Searles are; Eliza-
beth Willis, Leona Buckhout, Ernestine Clayton, Alice Wager, Marion
Wilbur, and Eleanor Wilbur. They are planning to visit Howes Caverns.
May the twenty-eighth, the Junior and Senior scouts, and the
Brownies held their annual mother-daughter banquet. Here Miss Tyrrel
awarded the badges earned by the individuals and also the tenderfoot pins
and second class awards. The first class badges will not be awarded until
a later Court of Honor in Auburn. The tables were attractively decorated
by the patrol. A delicious supper was served by the Junior scouts.
The program consisted of a fairy dance, by the Brownies; a short
play, “Don’t Give Up the Ship”, by the Junior scouts; and a pageant, “A
Girl Scout’s Hope Chest” by the Senior scouts.
As the last big event of the season, the troops are planning to spend
a few days at some camp. For the last two years the same group of girls
have had wonderful times camping on Lake Como.
The Brownies, who will make up the Girl Scouts of tomorrow, have
been doing their part to help the organization. Miss Wagner was Brown
Owl and Ernestine Clayton was Tawney Owl. There are eleven little
girls in the pack, and they have divided into three parts called the Fairy
Six, the Little People Six, and the Gnome Six.
During the year they have taken nature hikes, sewed, and made dolls
for Christmas presents. Five girls have earned Brownie pins, and three
received Golden Bars which means the same in Browniehood as the
second class badge does to a girl scout.
The fairy dance given by the pack at the banquet was very clever and
the little folks gave it well. Everyone is sure that the King Ferry
Brownies will be a credit to the future scout troop.
Forget-Me-Not Troop
At the beginning of the year the Forget-Me-Not Troops reorganized
into two groups, the Yellow Rose and Clover Patrols. Christine Doyle
was leader, and Alice Barnett, corporal of the Yellow Rose Patrol. Lucile
Bradley was leader and Bessie Seymour, corporal of the Clover Patrol.
Much work has been accomplished by these girls under the direction
of Miss Clark and Miss Fisher. Five girls, Beatrice Bradley, Christine
Doyle, Katherine Berrells, Florence Golden, and Faith Winne have re-
ceived their Tenderfoot Pins. Three girls, Alice Barnett, Christine Doyle,
and Genevieve Murray have earned their Second Class Badges. The fol-
lowing Merit Badges have been earned by Lucile Bradley :Scholarship,
Needlewoman, and Home Service; Hostess, Scholarship, Needlewoman,
Home Service and Girl Scout Neighbor by Madeline Nolan; and Needle-
woman by Christine Doyle.
The Forget-Me-Not Troop took part in a County Inter-Patrol contest.
The five girls having the highest individual scores were Lucile Bradley,
Bessie Seymour, Madeline Nolan, Alice Barnett, and Genevieve Murray.
These girls expect to take a trip as a reward for their work.
Along with the work, we also have had many good times. Three par-
ties, at Hallowe’en, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, were held in the Home-
making rooms. The Scouts intend to finish up the year with a Camping
Trip on Owasco Lake.

successful scouting year. Mr. E. P. Bradley was appointed Scout Master
at a meeting held in January. The Eagle Patrol organized with Vincent
Rafferty, Patrol leader, and Teddy Barnett, assistant leader. Paul Murray
was elected patrol leader of the Wolf Patrol, and Schuyler Quick, assis-
tant leader. Teddy Barnett was appointed secretary and Paul Murray,
treasurer of the troop. Meetings were held every Wednesday evening in
the Community Hall.
Among the Scout activities of the year was a dinner from which
fifteen dollars were received. This was a success and the Scouts wish to
thank mothers and friends who helped prepare and serve the dinner.
This money will be used for hikes and other events this Summer.

4-H Club
The boys and girls interested in 4-H work organized a chib on Nov-
ember 19, for the coming year. Mr. Frier acted as chairman for our first
meeting, when we elected the following officers: President, Vincent
Rafferty; Vice-president, George Wilbur; Secretary and Treasurer, Arlene
Cummings. The club numbers sixteen now. We are doing the following
projects: the raising of pigs, sheep, ducks, potatoes, calves, gardens and
several different crops.
We have held nine meetings. In these meetings we made scrap book
covers, display boards and bulletin cases.
It was decided that we should raise money in some way. It was sug-
gested that we have a roller skating party for the community. We served
lemonade and cake. It was a great success and about nine dollars and
thirty-three cents were cleared.
Many attended Rally Day which was held in Auburn and was greatly
enjoyed.
Since our secretary and treasurer, Arlene Cummings, is sick and un-
unable to continue with Club work we chose Betty Shaw to take her place.
The Club is looking forward to exhibiting projects at the County Fair.
Athletic Council
The Athletic Council was organized with Herbert Van Nest, presi-
dent; Margaret Colgan, vice-president; Myles Colgan, secretary. Everett
Ellison, treasurer; Margaret Rafferty, girls’ representative; Stephen
Hunt, boys representative; Miss Simkin and Mr. Frier, faculty advisers.
The responsibility of this association is to handle all affairs of the Athletic
Association. The members are, standing, left to right: Miss Simkin,
Myles Colgan, Everett Ellison, Stephen Hunt, Mr. Frier. Sitting: Mar-
garet Colgan, Herbert Van Nest, and Margaret Rafferty.
Athletic Association
At the beginning of the year an Athletic Association was formed
with Herbert Van Nest, president; Margaret Colgan, vice-president;
Myles Colgan, secretary and Everett Ellison, treasurer. One hundred
per cent membership was obtained when every person in the high school
bought a ticket. This ticket allowed each member to enter any home game
with a gate charge of fifteen cents. The purpose of this association is
to have the pupils united in one group to discuss all athletic questions.
Girls ’ Basketball
King Ferry again entered the Cayuga County High School League.
Genoa also entered tor the first time, making two more games on the
schedule.
The girls’ team started practising early last fall with Charlotte
Simkin and Alvin Hunt coaching. A great deal of work was needed on
the part of both players and coaches.
The team opened the season by playing several practice games with
the Alumni, also one with Morrisville, but the first real test for the team
stood with the game of December 25, with Union Springs at King Ferry.
Indeed, it was a test for while the King Ferry lassies took a 22 to 11
victory from their opponents, they also showed that they had the pep and
strength for a good team.
With a week’s hard practice and a few lucky breaks, King Ferry was
able to defeat the Aurora team on their court with a score of 19 to 14.
The several weeks before the next league game were used to advan-
tage. The team motored to Weedsport for a game only to be defeated
25 to 16.
When the Aurora High School team came to King Ferry, on January
9, the King Ferry girls were ready for them. Both teams fought their
hardest and the half showed Aurora in the lead with a score of 5 to 12.
A victory for King Ferry seemed doubtful. The Orange and Black team
made a spurt in the third quarter and raised the score to 13 to 15.
The fourth quarter started with Aurora still leading by 2 points. In
the last few seconds, King Ferry broke from the tie to win one of the most
exciting games of the season by a score of 17 to 16.
The King Ferry girls were given a surprise in the return game with
Union Springs, and they had to work hard to scrape a 10 to 7 victory
from that team.
King Ferry early defeated Sherwood by a score of 32 to 6 on the King
Ferry court.
The Moravians proved stronger than expected and when King
Ferry invaded the Moravia court the following week, they were defeated
10 to 20. This was their first defeat by a league team.
The next weekend was spent at Morrisville where the girls’ team
and their coaches were entertained by Miss Dorothy Searles and her
team. Everyone had a wonderful time and King Ferry also added another
victory to her list.
On February 6, King Ferry took a 26 to 7 victory from Genoa, and
also gave the second team a chance to show their ability.
The game at Sherwood was close, but King Ferry came out on top
with a 19 to 14 victory.
When Genoa played at King Ferry, the second team was again given
a chance to play. The final score was 42 to 1 in King Ferry’s favor.
In a game with Auburn Business School the Orange and Black team
was altogether out-classed and they were forced to take a 13 to 36 defeat.
By February 27 King Ferry was ready to meet Moravia. Both
teams were fighting for the Championship of the Southern Division and
enthusiasm was at its height. The King Ferry girls gained a lead in the
first quarter, but Moravia soon broke loose, and brought the score up
several points above their opponents. They held this lead most of the
game.
In the last quarter Moravia was two points ahead when King Ferry
scored. One of the Moravia girls made a free throw, again putting Mora-
via in the lead. Then, in less than a minute, King Ferry made 2 baskets,
making the final score 21 to 18.
King Ferry ended the scheduled games with only one defeat, being
declared Southern Champions. The next game for the County Cham-
pionship was to be played on the Armory court on March 13 with
Weedsport.
The King Ferry girls made a good stand, but were unable to score
against the Northern team. At the final whistle the score was 10 to 1
in Weedsport’s favor.
The six regular players were as follows: Margaret Colgan, center,
captain; Eleanor Wilbur, left forward, manager; Eleanor Brill, right for-
ward ; Nora Sutphin, Margaret Rafferty and Dorothy Rowland, guards.
The second team players were:: Margaret VanNest, captain; Leona
Buckhout, manager; Ruby Smith, Luella Corwin, Ernestine Clayton,
Christine Doyle, Lucile Bradley, and Marion Wilbur.
Much credit is due to Charlotte Simkin and Alvin Hunt who devoted
much time and energy to make the basket ball season successful.
Roys' Basketball
The boys’ basket ball team started practising early this season with
E. A. Frier, Jr., coaching. Stephen Hunt was elected captain and James
Mahaney, manager.
The first game of the season was played with Union Springs at King
Ferry on December 5. In this game King Ferry raced through with an
easy victory and a score of 61-11.
The next week King Ferry played Aurora on the Aurora Court. In
this game the King Ferry boys were unable to make much headway against
the larger Aurora lads and were defeated 7-27.
There were no league games during the Christmas vacation, so King
Ferry played a non-league game with Weedsport and defeated the North-
ern Champions by a score of 23-17.
In the next game with Aurora our boys played much better, but were
still unable to out play their opponents. The score at the final whistle was
27-34.
On January 16, the Orange and Black team again met Union Springs
and defeated them 42-13.
The contest with Sherwood at King Ferry was very exciting, but the
final score was 25-20 in Sherwood’s favor.
The following Friday night’s game gave the King Ferry boys another
deciding victory. They played at Moravia and defeated that team by a
38-23 score.
On February 6, the team played at Genoa and again King Ferry car-
ried through a 43-18 victory.
February 13 was a lucky day for Sherwood for the Red and White
team kept up it’s record and defeated the King Ferry boys to the tune of
23-36.
The return game with Genoa showed another victory for King Ferry.
The final score was 59-16.
The King Ferry boys ended the season by again defeating Moravia
by a score 21-14.
During the season, King Ferry played several non-league games with
Elbridge, Myers, Ludlowville, and a sportsmanship game with Sherwood.
Two of the boys, Stephen Hunt and Myles Colgan, were chosen to represent
King Ferry on an “All Star” team which played against the Auburn High
School team at Auburn.
The team also entered the Y. M. C. A. tournament at Cortland and
came very near to bringing back another cup.
The line-up for King Ferry was as follows: S. Hunt R. F.; M. Colgan,
L. FJ,; H. Van Nest, Center; F. Rafferty, R. G. • D. Myers, L. G.; and J.
Mahaney, L. Shiels and M. Van Nest substitutes for the first team. Gordon
Colgan was appointed assistant manager.
The following boys will receive letters this year: Millard Van Nest,
Herbert Ven Nest, Stephen Hunt, Lyman Sheils, Fredy Rafferty, David
Myers, Myles Colgan, and James Mahaney.
The total scores for the season are as follows:
King Ferry 61 Union Springs 11 At King Ferry

Baseball
King Ferry High School entered the baseball league of ’31. The
King Ferry nine, under the coaching of Henry Bradley, and with Stephen
Hunt, captain, and Myles Colgan, manager, looked like a tough team to
defeat. They were defeated but once, by Moravia, and took second
place in the southern tier. Their first game was a practice game with
Sherwood. The game was slow and unexciting, the score being seven to
nothing in favor of King Ferry. The first league game was supposed to
be with Moravia but as it rained, they played Union Springs first on May
15. King Ferry was victorious, the score being fourteen to nothing.
This game made the boys more confident and, with more fight and vigor
than ever, the following Tuesday they journeyed to Moravia.
This game was the most exciting of the season, the final score being
seven to four in favor of Moravia. The next games were with Aurora
and Sherwood, each ending in favor of King Ferry. After having played
all league games, the boys played two games with Ludlowville. The
game that was played on their diamond was won by King Ferry, but
when, the following week, Ludlowville played at King Ferry, the tables
were turned in favor of Ludlowville.
The line up for King Ferry was: Herbert Van Nest, pitcher; Ly-
man Shiels, catcher; Myles Colgan, manager, and first base; James Ma-
haney, second base; David Myers, short stop; and Stephen Hunt, captain
and third base. In the outfield were Schuyler Quick, Fredy Rafferty,
Leo Sullivan, Edward Murray, Orin May, and Everett Stewart.
Tennis
As another new step in athletics, King Ferry High School organized
a tennis team and entered the Cayuga County High School League. Mar-
garet Colgan was elected, captain and Eleanor Wilbur, manager. Miss
Wagner coached the team.. The team divided into two groups, each prac-
tising two nights a week on the tennis court at the home of Rose Lick.
The team made great progress and in time King Ferry High School will
be able to boast of a team which can offer real competition to other schools
of the league.
Those who played tennis this year are Rose Lick, Helen Muldoon,
Margaret Colgan, Betty Shaw, Edward Murray, Paul Murray, James
Hier, George Wilbur, and Eleanor Wilbur.
Miss Simkin: “You will learn this passage because it tells just how Mac-
beth felt at that time.”

Everett Ellison: “Say I’m going down and fix that furnace.”
Eleanor Wilbur: Jump in, it can’t smell any worse.”

Alumni Association
Nineteen hundred and thirty-one marks the tenth anniversary of
the founding of the King Ferry High School Alumni association. The
organization of the association took place after the graduation of the first
class from the high school in 1921.
Each year a meeting is held at the close of Commencement week. At
first these meetings were in the form of picnics held at Lakeside Park
followed by dancing in the pavilion.
In 1928 the association had grown so large that the picnic idea was
abandoned and a more formal banquet was held at Lakeside Inn. Since
then, banquets have been held each year at some popular inn.
A fund has been established in connection with the Alma Mater.
The first steps toward this were in the form of a dance held in North-
ville hall. It was a success both financially and socially.
The 1931 banquet will be held at Krebs at Skaneateles and every
member is urged to be present.
Andrew Stilwell, president.
DO YOU SUPPPOSE—
Marion Parmenter could sit still.
Fredy Buckhout likes Bessie.
Delmar ever got his arithmetic done.
Faith ever whispers.
“Bea” is ever out of a quarrel.
Alice will ever stop studying.
Katherine asks too many questions.
Visitor (wanting Mr. Frier) : “Is Mr. Fre-Air here?”
James Mahaney (thinking he said free air) : “Yea’h you can got all you

Paul: “Mary, write a poem about me.”
Mary: “Gosh, couldn’t think of one big enough.”
Miss Clark: “Open your books up to page 160."
Midge: “Where’s that?”
Miss Simkin: “David, put your four legs on the floor.”
Juniors' Song to the Seniors
Oh here’s the Senior Class of 1931
Aren’t you the greatest gang we could ever see?
You’re leaving now and so what can be done
Without you Liz and Mose and Dorothy
And Peg and Steve and Mike, Eleanor
“Bill”, “Crackers”, Ernestine, we’ll miss you, for
You’re giving us your tasks to carry on
When you’ve gone away to conquer your own.
Now we see Dot what we do she likes not
She thinks we’re not so hot that “President Dot”
She hates romance, but she just loves to dance
Of “Doc”, she took a chance of getting him
We’ve seen her fall when playing basket ball
In Sherwood’s gym or any other hall
That silly laugh, sounds like a big giraffe or else a little calf
That, “Popular Dot.”
iNow Eleanor, she’s known from shore to shore
But Kiemie knows her more, we are quite sure,
Competition is furnished by Donald,
But that is quite all in the family
She hears from Blondie, but that is all right,
And “Izzy” dreams of her every night.
She is a sport, and we sure like that sort
Even though she does park, sweet Eleanor.
This is for Mose, we all know where he goes
For Betty can’t resist his sweet repose.
His pretty curls they sure attract the girls
No matter where he goes, even in Washington
And Nellie writes him every once in a while
And even Patty thinks of him and smiles
He does his best but we can’t tell the rest
Of all those clever things of Everett’s.
Here is to Crackers she is George’s ideal
Bruce in Washington don’t seem real, Oh Eleanor
Theron’s Ford is good under apple trees it’s stood
Oh Theron’s Ford
Even though she likes the color of Steve’s car
In the rumble seat with Slats rides far
She’d love to go back down to Washington
Because it’s there that she and Bruce had a few.
Now here comes Myles his face it is all smiles
Except when “Prop” beguiles, he runs for miles
He did take her, we mean Charlotte Baker
Cause Dorothy said he was like a Quaker
He’s locking horns with Stephen every day
But soon he’ll find it doesn’t pay.
Regents grew near we heard him say “Oh Dear”
But he has got no fear that happy “Mike”.
Oh Lizzy dear, she is a tiny girl
Fat is her greatest pearl, Oh Lizzy dear
And Freddy too , she thinks he is O. K.
But she thinks that it may be Herbert
She’s got a certain something in her way
That keeps them thinking of her every day
She likes to park, In Ledyard church sheds dark,
But when the roosters bark, she has to go.
Sweet Ernestine, with chubby cheeks so fair,
She giggles everywhere, that Ernestine.
Now she is short,but then she is a sport,
She wears her dresses short most of the time.
There is a certain something in her ways
That keeps the teachers in a daze.
They quiet her, but they can’t go far
Without her laughing more, all the time.
Oh, here is Peg. She loves that barber shop
She seldom ever stops, less Ed’s around
To every class, arm in arm they walk
And about what they talk, we can not even guess.
She met a certain fellow when down there,
But Edward’s place he couldn’t compare.
We wonder why Peg had to sigh and sigh,
When to Ed she said goodbye at Ithaca.
And now comes Steve with something up his sleeve
That * Cook” he did retrieve that likeable Steve
He did have tun down there in Washington
But he did have to run to get those Ma-ams
He takes that “Cookie”, everywhere he goes
It keeps him busy buying brand new clothes
And here is Bill, you are the last but still
He thinks that she is his, “Secretary”
And now we’ll let him be, that likeable Steve.
There is no reason for forgetting you
We know that you think David is all right
And we wish with all our might you great success
You met Jimmy when you were in Washington
But then he was not the only one
We wonder why that rumble seat wasn’t occupied
The night that it cost you five when that whistle blew.
unior Will
We, the class of 1932 of King Ferry High School, do hereby bequeath
to the class of 1931 of said High School our compliments, and these few
tokens of our good will and best wishes for their future happiness and
success.
Dorothy Rowland—A box of headache tablets to keep the decorations
from making her dizzy at the Junior Prom next year.
Ernestine Clayton—Something else to giggle about.
Luella Corwin—“Just David”, so she can take it with her on her next
Washington trip.
Margaret Rafferty—An opportunity to start a combination of hairdres-
sing and barber shop along with Ed.
Everett Ellison—A low hat to take the place of the high one he has been
wearing.
Elizabeth Willis—A flat tire on Hub’s car so she can get it fixed in Tut-
tle’s garage.
Stephen Hunt—A “Cookie”.
Myles Colgan—A straight jacket to keep him quiet in study hall.
EleanorWilbur—A car, so she can see George more often.
Eleanor Brill—A treaty of peace between Donald, Gordon and Bernard.
Song to the Seniors
To my fellow classmates of ’31
I wish the best of luck when school is done,
Through four long years we have learned to share,
Each other’s joys, trials and cares.
Although at times we felt quite blue,
A helping hand would pull us through.
Joys and pleasures beyond compare,
Belonged to us, and for us to share.
Our Alma Mater has taught us her lessons in life,
Making us ready to enter the strife.
When troubles mount high we cannot depend,
On the ready assistance of some kind friend.
But ever remember, in case we should moan,
Everyone has plenty of cares of his own.
But though the road be dark, if we do our best,
The sun will shine and bring us success.
Eleanor Wilbur ’31
Junior Class
• J
In our Freshman year we were unorganized, the only big event of the
year being a scene from, “The Birds Christmas Carol,” presented by us
before the high school at Christmas time. Our Freshman class consisted
of twenty members, each one taking a part in this play.
Our Sophomore year proved that we were steadily improving and
trying to learn and act more like the dignified Seniors. Although we lost
two of our classmates we were still a big class and we organized with
Fredy Rafferty, president; Margaret Colgan, vice-president; Leona Buck-
hout, treasurer and Miss Wagner, faculty adviser. We held a roller skat-
ing party at the Community Hall which netted us eleven dollars and fifty
cents.
Although in our Junior year our class has decreased from twenty mem-
bers to half that many, ten, our attempts to earn money for our long
looked for trip to Washington have been very successful. We organized
with Margaret Colgan, president - Millard Van Nest, vice-president; Fredy
Rafferty, secretary and treasurer; and Miss Clark, faculty adviser.
Our first attempt at making money was serving supper at a dance,
held in Northville Hall. This netted us ten dollars. In the Spring, as was
the custom, we sold seeds, keeping half the profit which netted us five
dollars and sixty-five cents. Later, we held a dinner in the Community
Hall, making twelve dollars. Our biggest event of the year was our Junior
Prom held in Northville Hall, May 15. The hall was a bower of beauty,
decorated in the class colors, pink and green. From the center light, which
was decorated in green and pink, streamers ran to all the side walls. They
were also covered with green and pink streamers. The north side of the
hall was partitioned off with crepe paper as a place for the chaperones. In
this, was a wicker set consisting of a davenport and four chairs. There
was also a small table which was the center of attraction, having a large
vase of apple blossoms and pink lamp on it.
Our chaperones were, Mr. and Mrs. Frier, Mr. and Mrs. Long, Mr.
and Mrs. Roy Tuttle and Mr. and Mrs. Howard Willis.
Beside being congratulated for our successful dance, we stored away
in our treasury, a small sum which will help us on our Washington trip.

Sophomore Class
The Sophomore Class of King Ferry High School was organized last
September. The officers elected were as follows: Everett Stewart, pres-
ident; J. D. Franklin, secretary and treasurer; David Myers, sophomore
representative for the Student Council; Miss Wagner, faculty adviser.
The Sophomores ordered their rings this year which they will receive
next September. A play was given by the Sophomores as a means of
obtaining money for their pictures. The balance was put in the bank for
use next year. The last activity of the Sophomore class was a hot dog
roast planned for May 23, to be held at the lake shore. On account of
rain, David Myers invited the class to his house for an indoor party. This
ended the activities of the Soph’s of 1931.

Freshman Class
In September, twenty-one pupils enrolled in the Freshman class.
Since then we have graduated two of these to the sophomore class and
as a result of January regents, received three additional members to our
class.
Among our class activities was a party held at Charlotte Simkin’s
home. Several sophomores, juniors, and seniors were present besides
most of the freshmen. A ping pong tournament was the most important
event of the evening. Schuyler Quick was the winner and received a
ping pong set for a prize.
To our class, we are proud to announce, belongs Edison Quinn, the
winner in the prize speaking contest held in Moravia for boys.
With the usual amount of Freshman indifference, we have succeeded
quite well in annoying our upper classmen throughout the year.
Olive: “Mr. Frier would you like a piece of fudge I just made?”
Mr. Frier: “Yes, I’d just love it.”
Mary Col.: “Well if you think that’s good wait till I bring out one of my
kisses.”
Mary Col: “Boy, these biscuit are good”.
Esther H.: “Yes, the one you hit me in the head with never broke. They
must be good.”

There are six pupils in the seventh grade. They are Lucile Bradley,
Alberta Quick, Gordon Cummings, Benjamin Masek, Byron Wilbur, and
Jerry Mahaney. In the eighth grade there are thirteen pupils; Edna
Bowman, Christine Doyle, Marian Bower, Madeline Nolan, Edna Shaw,
Ansel Berrells, Teddy Barnett, Orin May, Hampton Stewart, Vernon
Stewart, Ernest Sullivan, Charles Wilbur, and Howard Berrells.
This year we have been represented in the High School Students’
Council with Arlene Cummings as our representative.
Late in the fall, we sold McCall’s Magazine with Miss Fisher’s room.
A hot dog roast was enjoyed by our room which was given by the
High School.
In the Winter, we entered with the High School and sold magazines
for the Curtis Publishing Company. Madeline Nolan and Teddy Barnett
won prizes for selling the most magazines in this campaign.
We sang for our parents one afternoon in the High School room.
This was to show our parents how we could sing and what we had learned
from our singing lessons directed by Mrs. King every Monday.
Friday, May 22, a town spelling test was given. Thirteen pupils,
who had received the highest marks in the test given in the schools the
Friday before, wrote the fifty words. Five Corners was represented by
three pupils, Belltown by one, Goodyears by three, and King Ferry by
two from each of the three upper grades. Madeline Nolan took first
place spelling forty-three words correctly. Mary Weeks from Five Cor-
ners took second place, spelling forty-two words correctly
A similiar test was given at Genoa. The object of the test was to
determine the best speller of the town. This person will represent the
town of Genoa at the County Contest which will be held at Auburn early
in June.
In term ediate Departm ent
There are twenty pupils in our room. We have five members in the
fourth grade, eight in the fifth grade and seven in the sixth grade.
We have done a number of things during the past year. In February,
we gave a play, “The Brushes Quarrel.” The characters were Janice
Doyle, Russell Stilwell, Alice Barnett, Keith Bowman, and Frederick
Buckhout. This play was taken from our health book and was presented
before the High School pupils. On one occasion, we sang at the Parent
Teacher meeting to show our parents how well we could sing. At Thanks-
giving time, we put on “Polly Put the Kettle On.” The characters were
Genevieve Murray, Alice Barnett, Gladys Masek, Beatrice Bradley, Kath-
erine Berrells, Frederick Buckhout and Russell Stilwell. Mr. Frier was
present when we presented this play.
In a spelling contest held recently the following received 100'/ : Alice
Barnett, sixth grade; Faith Winne, and Katherine Berrells, fifth grade;
and Gladys Masek, fourth grade.
We organized a Student’s Council for our rocm this year. The officers
were, Otis May, president; Henry Parmenter, vice president; Katherine
Berrells, secretary; Alice Barnett, treasurer; Keith Bowman, sixth grade
representative; Ralph Quick, fifth grade representative and Junior Bow-
man , fourth grade representative.
Last Fall we sold McCall’s magazine and earned $13. We gave the 7th
and 8th Grade room $1 for helping us.
Miss Fisher supervises High School drawing once a week and Dorothy
Rowland takes charge of our classes in her place.
Primary Room
When school began last September, we had twenty-one pupils in our
rocm. There were twelve in the first grade, two in the second grade and
seven in the third grade. After a week or two we lost two members from
the first grade because they were too young to attend school.
We have had a very busy and happy year In September, we formed
a Health Club. We made certain health rules which we had to follow each
day before coming to school. We have tried hard to keep all these rules
during the past year.
In October P.-T. A. gave a Hallowe’en party. Many of us attended it
and had a good time. At Thanksgiving time we had a program. At
Christmas time we drew names and gave presents to one another. We
joined with the Intermediate rocm and gave our program in the study
hall. We had a very pretty tree. In February we had a Valentine party.
In March, the second and third grades organized a Good Deed Club with
Mrs. Tuttle as leader. Each member was to do at least one good deed daily.
We had many good times in the Club. We have played a series of base-ball
games, gone on hikes and studied about birds, trees and weeds. We also
had a hot dog roast.
In April, the third grade had a State Standard test in arithmetic. It
was found that each pupil was up to the standard for each grade. On May
15, we held a Standard spelling test in all three grades.
We attended Field Day at Venice on May 29. We took our lunch and
had a basket picnic. Members of our room took part in the events.

This is what I saw
When walking down a street
A Freshman and a Senior
A place was bound to meet.
Says the Senior to the Freshman
“Something green I spy”
“I can’t see you,” the answer was
Your head is held too high.”
Some kids long for fishin,
Some kids long for the field.
But 1 long for the knowledge
That worded school books yield.
All we can do,
Is do the best we can.
Cause the Lord made the devil
When he made the first man.
