History of the Class of 1933
At last this longed for graduation has come and with it come memo-
ries of our four years with our Alma Mater. I am sure our four years
have not been wasted.
We came into existence in September, 1929. We organized with
twenty-five members. Lillian Cook was elected president; Millard Van
Nest, vice-president and class representative to the Students’ Council;
Dorothy Smith, secretary and treasurer and Miss Elsie Clark, faculty
adviser.
On November 21 we held a social party at the home of Nora Sutphin.
Our first attempt in raising money was a bake sale held at Roy Tuttle’s
store. We made $3.50 and we used the money to pay for our pictures in
the year book.
We had lost thirteen of our members but the remaining twelve
thought it was about time to get busy.
We soon began to feel a growing importance and began to look back
with pity upon the poor Freshmen because we really were Sopho-
mores. Two more were added to our class, making a total of fourteen
members. Everett Stewart, was elected president; J. D. Franklin, sec-
retary and treasurer; David Myers, class representative to the Students’
Council and Miss Helen Wagner, faculty adviser. The Sophomores and
the Faculty gave two one act plays, “Neighbors” and “A Little Mistake.”
We made about fifteen dollars. The last activity of our second year was
a hot dog roast. Since it rained, David Myers invited the class to his
house for an indoor party. However, a little thing like rain couldn’t
dampen our spirits.
Another year has passed, and lo, we poor sophomores are Juniors. We
lost two of our classmates and gained one, organizing with thirteen
members. Everett Stewart, president; Mary Conaughty, secretary and
treasurer; Lillian Cook, class representative to the Students’ Council and
Miss Helen Wagner, faculty adviser. We held two bake sales during the
course of the year. A valentine party was sponsored by us in the Masonic
hall. The admission charged was according to the heart beat of the per-
son. Several other social gatherings were held during the year. The
last and most important event of our Junior year was the Junior Prom
held in the Community Hall, June 29. The hall was beautifully decorated
in red, white and blue. Our chaperones were Rev. Father George M.
Kalb; Rev. Dr. and Mrs. W. T. Thayer; Superintendent and Mrs. C. B.
Myers; Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Tuttle; Mr. and Mrs. Coral L. Myers; Mr.
and Mrs. Joseph N. Atwater. We were congratulated on our charming
program dance. This was the first time a program dance was ever tried
by the school and it was a great success.
During our last year in high school fourteen members were enrolled.
Charles Corey, president; Mary Conaughty, secretary and treasurer;
Lillian Cook, secretary and Mr. Raymond Handville, faculty adviser.
Later in the year we lost three of our class, thus leaving only eleven to
graduate.
All during our three years of high school we had planned to go to
Washington but when we became Seniors things took a sudden change.
We decided to go to the Worlds’ Fair held in Chicago in the Summer. We
set out to earn money for this great event.
The first activity of our senior year was a Radio Social held in the
Community hall. A large crowd attended. Then we made clam chowder
and sold it for 30c a quart. Thus we added a few more dollars to our
treasury. About Thanksgiving time we made plum puddings for sale.
Several bake sales were held during the year.
On the evenings of April 22 and 26 we presented our Senior play,
“The Romantic Age” which was very successful. This added about
ninety dollars to the treasury. We held a minstrel show the latter part of
May, and the climax of our class activities has been the publishing of the
“Ferry Boat.”
Thus end the activities of our last year in high school with our fel-
low school mates. We extend to them a bit of encouragement for the
years to come and hope that they will be as happy as we have been in
these too short years with our Alma Mater.
Nora Sutphin
Class Prophecy
Early New Year’s morning I started to the United States from
Canada. I was planning to spend New Year’s day in New York State as
I had not been there in 15 years. It was a very beautiful morning for
the first day of the year, the snow lying in mounds in the fields was a
pleasing sight. Scanning the roadside I suddenly saw on a telephone
pole a picture of a familiar face. I thought it was an advertisement and
was startled to recognize a rather vague resemblance to my former class-
mate, Charles Corey. I had my chauffeur stop and I lost no time in see-
ing if it were really Charley. Yes, it was, and Charley was now a presi-
dent-elect of the Democratic party. Knowing that inauguration was
January 1, in the United States I decided to go immediately to Washing-
ton, as I was sure Charles had been elected. It took last driving to reach
Washington, but I did not mind, since I was soon to see the President of
the United States. It had been Charley’s wish when in High school to be
President of the United States. I myself had cherished secret hopes of
being the first lady, but now knew it was out of the question. I was
trying to decide who the first lady might be, when my limousine stopped in
front of the White House. The President was stepping on the platform
to take the oath of oilice. Sure enough, it was Charles and the first one
of my classmates I had seen since graduation.
As I gazed about the crowd, my attention was attracted to a bright
red headed person who seemed to be having a serious difficulty making a
set of red headed triplets pay attention to the performance. After looking
a little longer at this person, I found that she resembled Alice Wager.
Could it be true that Alice Wager was really in the President’s family?
After the inauguration thinking Charles might be pleased to see me,
I went up to him and shook hands. He immediately recognized me and
asked if I had met the wife and children as he knew what close friends
Alice and I had been. Just then Alice and the triplets came up to us. It
was like a reunion to meet two of my classmates after fifteen years of
separation. Alice had changed a great deal, although she was still the
same happy-go-lucky girl and was really satisfied with her husband and
dear children. I soon left the happy family and began looking for some
of my other classmates. Leo Sullivan was the first one I ran across. Leo
told me that after graduation he had attended Rochester Business school
and had taken up work as a retail salesman. He now had a position in
Roy Tuttle’s garage in King Ferry. We decided to look around a little
more for some of the other class members of ’33.
As we walked around, a rather worried man attracted our attention.
We immediately recognized him as David Myers. After speaking to him
he recognized us and began asking us about ourselves. After outlining
briefly the past 15 years to him, we demanded to know why he looked so
worried. He told us he had been married after graduation. He did not
know just what to do as his early romance had been between two women.
His wife had been seriously ill, but being a nurse herself, she instructed
him as to the care she should receive. After two years of this he became
interested in being a doctor. He thought that by taking a medical course
in Syracuse he and his wife might be able to start a business of their
own. They now had an office at King Ferry and were very busy. The
patients did not seem to be improving and this caused him considerable
worry.
To think of David as a doctor seemed too much. He asked us if we
had heard anything of Nancy since graduation. He said she had studied
dramatics and had taught in King Ferry for eight years, but was now
happily married. She had asked David to remember her to the rest of
her class mates if he saw any of them. She had wished to attend the
inauguration but Junior was too young to travel.
We left David with his worries and started on our exploration. Upon
seeing an eager crowd' gathered around a speaker, we stopped to listen.
He was telling them of achievements of the newly inaugurated President’s
younger days. Who could it be who knew so much about Charley? We
went nearer to the speaker and found it was none other than Abraham
Strauss. We waited until the lecture was over and spoke to him. He told
us he had built a church of his own at Goodyears and was now holding
regular services, but had taken time to come to the inauguration. We
told him of our meeting with the members and asked if he knew anything
of Lillian Cook. He told us Lillian was now a very devout member of his
church. She had taken a business course after graduation and secured a
position as private secretary in the Beacon Feed Company. Business was
so rushed she was unable to leave the office.
Coming down through the crowd I saw a rather stout woman with
three husky children. She looked familiar and who should it be but Nora
Sutphin! Could this be Nora? We were glad to see her. Immediately
we began to question her as to what she had been doing. She told us that
after graduation she had gone into training for a nurse. After nursing
for six years she had been married. At the present time she was living
very happily and contentedly at Black Rock where her husband had spent
his childhood days. Nora told us that Rose Lick had been a nurse, but
was now retired and living in California in the house of her dreams. I
knew Rose was happy and contented in California.
We felt very satisfied in finding so many of our classmates but still
we had not heard about J. D. Franklin. Being sure J. I), would attend
this big event if possible, we decided to look around a little more. We soon
spied a dignified little man whom we recognized as J. D. Franklin. We
spoke to him and he inquired about our work. J. D. told us that he was
teaching Domestic Science at Keuka College.
As evening was fast overtaking us, I decided I had better travel on
to my destination. I felt very happy as I stepped into my limousine that
night, but rather disappointed that I had not seen three of my classmates;
Nancy Bower, Lillian Cook, and Rose Lick. It was not surprising to me
that Nancy was not among us, as I remembered that back in High school
days she was always missing out on something which was really
important.
knVw Lillian and Rose would have been there had it been possible.
When 1 returned to my home I had something to think about. It pleased
me to have seen all of my classmates so happy and successful and I hoped
ere would be no such lapse of time before we met again.

Class of ’33
Editorial
As you wander along the shore of a southern Pacific sea—on a calm
day in summer—you will notice rising from the glassy surface of the
water, a tiny, pearl-like sail. This is the smallest ship afloat on any sea.
It is the Nautilus, a tiny fish, which lives in a chambered shell. As it
grows larger, it closes a door upon its too-small shell and builds a larger
one around it.
The life and habits of this tiny animal have been a popular theme
with poets for centuries. Even Aristotle was familiar with its peculiari-
ties. But it is to our own American poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes, that
we turn for the most beautiful tribute to the “Chambered Nautilus.”
Build thee more stately mansions, oh my sold,
As the swift seasons roll.
Leave thy loic-vaulted past;
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from Heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine out-grown shell by Life's unresting sea."
Like the Nautilus, we too have reached such a period of growth that
the old shell has been out-grown and shed. The new school—our new
home, is the changed environment for us which should help us to build
for our bodies and minds “more stately mansions.”
These school days of ours are all too short. They are come and gone
’ere we scarcely realize we are living them. Daily we are confronted with
golden opportunities for self-advancement—self-enrichment. We need to
examine oui’ way of receiving these benefits. Are we not too careless, in
preparing ourselves for life’s long journey through the after-school years?
Let us face the future squarely, well-prepared. Let us set our goal
of achievement among the stars, for surely it is better to aim too high
and miss the sun, than to drop our golden arrow in the mire. So, with
faces set toward new horizons let us make every effort to attain them.
Like the Nautilus, with each new achievement greater and finer than
the last, we shall find ourselves free and satisfied with a life well-lived
when the time comes to leave “the outgrown shell by Life’s unresting sea.

Sophomore Class
The green Freshmen of last year came back last fall as Sophomores,
proud and haughty toward the lowly Frosh, yet holding a warm spot in
their hearts for them.
The class organized with Orin May, president, Arlene Cummings,
vice-president, Madeline Nolan, secretary and treasurer, and Miss Thomas
as Faculty Adviser. Lura Campbell represented us in the Student Coun-
cil. Nineteen members were enrolled in the class. During the year we
regretted to lose two of our members.
We chose “Semper Fideles” as our motto; rose and gold as our class
color; and rose as our class flower.
We have had one social activity and two projects to earn money. Our
Sophomore party was held at the home of Edna Bowman. An enjoyable
time was had by all. Our Valentine and card party held February 14 was
a great success. We gave prizes to each person and played progressive
five hundred and bridge. The winners at each table had the privilege
of changing their prizes with those of the losers. We made twenty dollars
after the expenses were paid.
We sold Christmas cards, earning eighteen dollars, which made a total
of thirty-eight dollars for the year.
Two assembly programs were given. One was in the form of a skit
called “Salt of the Earth." The characters were Arlene Cummings and
Hampton Stewart. The other gave the Faculty a chance to see themselves
as others see them. Various members of the class portrayed our teachers
in a school room scene.
In May we received our parts for the play which we expect to give at
the opening of school next September.

Freshman Class
Here we are, the class of ’36 ready to tell you of our adventures of
the last year. We set sail with eighteen members. We elected the follow-
ing officers: Lucille Bradley, president; Alberta Quick, secretary; Jerry
Mahaney, treasurer.
At one of our meetings we decided to have a Freshmen party. Ruth
Travis opened her home to us for an evening of pleasure. In the middle
of the term, Ruth Travis became ill and was confined to her home for the
remainder of the year. We missed her greatly and in the Spring sent her
a portfolio of letters. Each member tried to write something original and
pleasing so as to send a message of cheer. On May 22 four of the mem-
bers put on a one-act play in Assembly.
Now we have landed, each feeling this a year well spent toward
further success. J- Gordon Cummings
Junior High School
Here we are, the good ship Junior High School, from King Ferry,
speeding under full sail until we unload part of our cargo at pier 1937 and
the rest at 1938. During this year’s voyage, thirty-six pupils have en-
joyed the courses taught by seven teachers. To the curriculum have been
added a Homemaking Class for the girls and Shop Work for the boys.
The two History Classes put on a successful Lincoln’s Day program
in Assembly. The boys participated in basketball games with Cayuga
and Locke. All our musicians-to-be enjoyed the free instrument instruc-
tion. Our Glee Club sang twice in Assembly and twice at Parent-
Teacher Meetings. Three members from our group are in the school or-
chestra. The Health Classes wrote essays for a contest which the W. C.-
T. U. sponsored. The first prize award in the eighth grade was given to
Leslie Wager and the second prize to Jane Ellis. Faith Winne received
first prize in the seventh grade and Jane Wilbur second. Our department
took part in the pageant given June 10.
So shorten sail and cast anchor until another year has come. We
who are leaving the Junior High School Department sincerely wish our
successors “Bon Voyage.’’ Faith Winne and Ward O’Hara
Time: May, 1933 at 11 a. m.
Scene: Eighth Grade room
Characters: Visitor and eighth grade pupil
Visitor: What class is this?
Pupil: This is the class of 1937. We have sixteen members.
Visitor: How many of your students are on the Honor Roll for the
year?
Pupil: Six. They are: Leslie, Gertrude, Ward, Daniel, E'ma and
Jane. We are proud that Gertrude Nedrow won third place in the prize
speaking contest. Gertrude is the first pupil of the Junior High School
to enter in this activity.
Visitor: That’s fine; but you have had oral English, haven’t you, and
have read plenty of good literature?
Pupil: Oh, yes! The class chose as topics, biographies of historical
and successful people of our community. We have found this very inter-
esting. Our study of works by Lowell and poems written by Longfellow
has been especially enjoyed. As a project, we have made literature book-
lets, combining them with drawing. Each pupil made at least one original
sketch illustrating a favorite passage.
Visitor: Do you study arithmetic?
Pupil: No, but we have a preparatory course for senior high school,
algebra and geometry. This course was newly introduced in our Junior
High School this January.

We have organized a Good Citizenship club. The officers are presi-
dent, Faith Winne; vice-president, William Corey; treasurer, William
Cook; secretary, Otis May. The object of this club is to set a high stand-
ard of school citizenship and to do all we can to improve our school.
You will always find us in room 209 in our new school building. We
enjoy being able to play in our new gym. On Fridays we have Science
and sometimes we go to the laboratory. We also enjoy the new heating
system. All these things help us to like school life more and more.

Sixth Grade
OUR YEARLY PROJECT
Hello folks! This is the sixth grade of King Ferry Central School,
made up of eighteen members.
At Christmas time we had a program. The outside school districts
joined in with us and we all enjoyed the entertainment.
On Valentine Day, the fifth and sixth grades had a party and we in-
vited the third and fourth grades to attend. We played all kinds of games
and had a Valentine post office.
On Tuesday, March 21, 1933, we moved to our new schoolhouse. Our
teacher during the term of 1932-’33 is Mrs. Mabel Smith.
The grades from first to sixth have an assembly every Monday. Each
grade provides part of a program. Sometimes the fifth and sixth sing two
part songs. We also select someone to read stories and poems.
We have had projects including a colonial home, nature study collec-
tion and prose and poetry. We are hoping that we can all be promoted
into the seventh grade next year.
Marion De Joseph
Fifth Grade
We found out this year that schools as well as people can have new
Spring clothing. On the very first day of Spring our school came out in
the fine new building of which we are so proud.
Last Fall the fifth and sixth grades were in the same room. Mrs.
Mabel Smith was our teacher. On the 21st day of March we began work
in our new room. The Goodyear school was brought into King Ferry at
that time and Mrs. Powers finished the year as teacher in the fifth grade.
We made bird houses and Mr. Handville judged them. John Darhes
won the first prize and Charles May the second. A pair of bluebirds and
a pair of wrens are nesting in the houses. We wrote booklets for a con-
test given by the W. C. T. U. and the night of the dedication we exhibited
some of our school work.
We thank everyone who has helped to give us this fine building and we
mean to show our appreciation by taking care of it and doing our best in
our work.

Alma: I made this cake all by myself.
John: Sure, I can see that, but who helped you lift it out of the oven?
Miss Thomas: (trying hard to tie a knot) Oh, darn it!
Mr. Frier: Don’t ‘‘darn” it—just tie it.
Miss Snow: Why John, hurry up and recite—don’t be so bashful!
John Streeter: That’s not bashfulness, that’s my humidity!
Mr. Handville: Perhaps some of you who have brothers and sisters who
went to college could tell us some real benefits of a college education.
Harlan, could you name some for us?
Harlan: Yes, you learn how to spend money.
Third and Fourth Grades
Our school year started in the same dark room but had hopes of
something better by the end of the year.
The first few months of school we had with us a little Italian boy.
His broken English at times was very funny. But we missed him when
he had to go back to Buffalo.
Christmas came very fast. We prepared our program. Our costumes
were very pretty. We sang and danced.
After we had examinations it was time to think about Valentine day.
We were invited up to Mrs. Mabel Smith’s room. We sang songs and had
refreshments.
We were very glad to hear the news that we were going to move into
our new school building soon. The next days were spent getting ready
to move. We cleared our little room all up. It looked lonesome but very
nice. On Monday we took our books and went to our new school. We
were all glad to see a nice room for us. After about two or three weeks
we planned to have assembly. Our play “The Playmates” was given in
assembly. It taught a lesson in courtesy. We hope that everyone got
some good from it.
We have a very nice circus in our room. There are different kinds of
animals in this circus. All of us helped to make it.
Now it is time to think about our pageant. We all know our parts.
The boys are grass-hoppers and the girls are daisies. I hope everyone
will like it and we think they will. Lillian Barnett
Primary Room
When school opened in September, we had seventeen in our room.
In October we attended the Hallowe’en party given by the Parent-
Teacher Association.
We learned many interesting things about the Pilgrims. We made
Thanksgiving place cards to take home.
In December we joined the grades of the Central District and had
our Christmas program. We made Christmas presents for our Mothers.
We studied about the Eskimos in January, and made an Eskimo vil-
lage on the sand table.
In February, Lincoln and Washington were studied and a short pro-
gram was given on their birthdays.
The month of March we shall always remember. We moved into our
lovely new school. We are very happy and thankful to be able to go to
school in such a nice building At this time we had five new scholars enter
from Goodyear school.
In April we worked on a Holland Project.
We have done a great deal of work this year. We made bird houses
and bird feeding tables. We painted berry baskets for our Mothers, as
a gift on Mother’s day.
In May we worked on an Indian project.
Each Monday we have grade assembly. Our grades have put on
several songs and recitations, also a Health program, in which we all
took part.
We are getting ready to be Roses, Butterflies and Dryads in the
pageant which is to be given soon. Our costumes are going to be very

Literary Club
Three years ago a stranger arrived among the organizations of this
school. We called this newcomer, “Literary Club." At first he was re-
ticent, but as he grew older we became accustomed to his voice in the
school life and in the Tribune. We cherished him through these few
years and in 1932 put him in the trust of Rose Lick and Jean Smith. They
taught and cared for him. Other worthy students also enjoyed the privi-
lege of contributing to his education.
We were delightfully entertained at a club party at the home of our
Editor-in-Chief, Rose Lick. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Long were invited and
acted as chaperones for the evening.
We thank Mr. Long for continually granting us a prominent place in
his newspaper.
We feel that we have accomplished much in carrying on the work
which was so firmly established three years ago, and we assure our public
that our members have enjoyed their relationship and association with
the Literary Club.
Orchestra
Crash the cymbals! Beat the drums! The new school has gone
musical with a bang! What made one tingle with delight and glow with
quiet happiness? Surely it was the King Ferry Schoo] Orchestra con-
sisting of twenty-two members namely: piano, Lura Campbell; violins,
Edward Barnett, Gertrude Nedrow, Freddy Rafferty, Ruth Robinson,
Betty Shaw, Margaret Van Nest and George Wilbur; trumpets, Herbert
Archer, Freddy Buckhout, Donald Keim, Russell Stilwell, Millard Van
Nest and Charles Wilbur; clarinet, Charles Corey; saxophone, Gordon
Fritts; traps, Gordon Cummings, Calvin Jump; trombone, John Streeter;
altos, Merrill Sprout and Byron Wilbur.
The orchestra organized September 8, 1932 and made its first ap-
pearance in school assembly, September 26, 1932, under the competent
leadership of Lue S. King and later broadcast over the radio from station
WEAL Ithaca.
The orchestra has participated in many public activities in playing
for the Finger Lakes Association, Temperance show, “Lest We Forget,”
Senior play, “The Romantic Age,” and the dedication of the new King
Ferry Central School.
Betty L. Shaw
Band
We are broadcasting chords but mostly discords every ninth period
on Wednesday from our music room on the first floor in the King Ferry
Cental School building, with Mr. Atwater, announcer.
The band organized under the supervision of Mr. Atwater. Every
Wednesday he comes to instruct the students and each instrument has
one time during the day for a practice period.
The band consists of a variety of instruments such as, violins, saxo-
phones, clarinet, drums, baritone, bass horns, trombones and cornet.
We are signing off because of Summer vacation and hope to be with
you next year at the same time.

Chorus ■
If you have never had the thrill, it must be hard to imagine it! But
you must have heard it.
What?
Why, the King Ferry School chorus. It consists of twenty-five mem-
bers divided into four parts, soprano, alto, tenor and bass. It serves to
introduce the show, to establish the mood and describe situations where
words fail.
The chorus was organized September 22, 1932. It assembles with
special classes held at various times.
The boys’ and girls’ combined chorus has had the honor of singing at
the Finger Lakes Association on April 1, 1933. Separate parts of the
chorus have enjoyed singing at various activities.

Boys" Glee Club
We are now nearing the end of our journey around the year. Mrs.
Lue King, our captain, guided us successfully on our annual trip.
The sailors who navigated this year are: Schuyler Quick, Freddy Raf-
ferty, Marion Roller, Hampton Stewart, Claude Mann, Vincent Rafferty,
Claude Coomber, Jerry Mahaney, Gordon Cummings, Everett Ellison,
Donald Keim, Merrill Sprout, Benjamin Masek, Edward Barnett and
Everett Shiels.
We have sailed through many songs, thanks to our captain, Mrs. Lue
King. She has guided us through storms, safe and sound, and we are
fast becoming an adept crew as we sail from part to part. In March we
scrapped our old Tug Boat and boarded a shiny, new Leviathan. Since
then we have been of good cheer and stout countenance, shouting our
songs over the waves with unprecedented enthusiasm.
In September the mates ought to be in excellent condition and train-
ing for the trip around the year again. The admission to the “Navy” is
two good lungs, one big mouth, and a spirit of willing cooperation.
So join the “Navy” and see the “World.”
Edward Barnett
King Ferry 4-H Club
Evidently the depression has not affected our club because the num-
ber of members has not decreased. The officers for 1932-’33 are: George
Wilbur, president; Jerry Mahaney, vice-president; Otis May, secretary;
Byron Wilbur, treasurer. We have held twelve meetings this year. Talks
by Mr. Frier, Mr. Handville and Mr. Sears have made five of these meet-
ings particularly interesting. Club members have given nine demonstra-
tions. The projects include calf, poultry, garden, sheep, pigs, potatoes,
cow and heifer, market pigs, forestry and market lambs. In the Spring
we decided to sell seeds to raise money.
Byron Wilbur, one of our members, received second prize in the essay
contest on “The Advantage of Raising Official Poultry Breeders’ Chicks.”
In March everyone enjoyed the party at Marian and Henry Parmen-
ter’s home.
Everyone is working to make this club year a successful one.

Claude C.: What kind of a bird was it?
Margie B.: A “Jay”.
Students' Council
The Student’s Council is the most important organization in the
Student Body. It acts as a governing body over the students.
The Council was elected this year with Nancy Bower, president;
Paul Murray, secretary and treasurer; Lillian Cook, Gordon Fritts, Lura
Campbell, Wiley Sutphin, Ward O’Hara, and Faith Winne. Miss Thomas
and Mr. Handville were our Faculty Advisers.
At our first meeting in September we chose our faculty advisers and
set a day for our meetings. Our regular meetings are held every Wednes-
day, the ninth period.
The Council takes some part in all school activities.
The first big event of the Council was a Christmas party for Senior
and Junior High Students. This party was held in the Community Hall,
Friday, December 23, 1932. A short skit which dealt with the Spirit of
Christmas was put on by the Council. The Melody Boys played for danc-
ing, and refreshments were served.
The Council plans the Assemblies which are held every Monday.
Lura Campbell is chairman of the Assembly Committee. The Assemblies
consist of salute to the flag, singing of “America” and music by the or-
chestra. A program of some sort is put on by one of the organizations
or we have an outside speaker.
The Council helps in keeping the building neat and clean. Gordon
Fritts is chairman of the Sanitation Committee.
On Friday before we entered the new school, the Council, with the
help of the presidents of the classes gave an Assembly program which
told how the Students were expected to act in the new school. Each class
presented the council with a pledge which expressed the bad faults which
they were going to leave behind in the old school and the good faults which
they would bring with them.
Our next big social event was a dance in the new gymnasium, Friday
evening, May 5, 1933. The music was furnished by Stan Harris and his
Knights of Rhythm, from Auburn. Refreshments were served.
The Council sells school supplies to the students during the lunch
periods. All supplies are cheaper than they are at the stores.
This organization benefits the school in many ways.
Parent-Teacher Association
The first meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association was held October
5, in the Community Hall. The program was held in honor of the Board
of Education and teachers. Superintendent Myers gave a very instruc-
tive talk on “The Purpose of the Parent-Teacher Association.” Rev. Dr.
Thayer gave an address on “Autumn.” Reverend Father Kalb spoke on
“Our Debt to Our Children.”
The second meeting of the year was held November 2, in the Com-
munity Hall where a question box discussion was held.
There was no December meeting. In January the Association de-
cided to help care for the needy families of the Community. The program
consisted of songs by the High School Chorus, directed by Mrs. Lue King.
Mr. Frier gave an address on “Case Studies.”
Reverend Jones, of the Lake Ridge Church gave an interesting ad-
dress at the February meeting. A quartet composed of Mr. A. L. W.
Roller, Marion Roller, Elmer Huffman and Henry Bowman, sang.
The meeting of March 22 was the first to be held in the auditorium of
the new school. Professor Yerington of Syracuse University gave a very
inspiring message on “Matthew Arnold and His Philosophy of Life.” Mr.
Frier spoke on “How the Library is to be Run.” Three violin duets were
also rendered by Mr. Frier and Miss Snow.
On April 13, Miss Cora Binzel of Cornell University spoke on “Find-
ing Pleasure in Staying at Home.” The musical program consisted of:
Saxophone solos by Gordon S. Fritts; Mixed quartet by Marion Roller,
tenor, Eleanor Brill, soprano, Lura Campbell, alto, and Donald Keim,
bass. Trombone solos by John Streeter. Musical trio composed of Mrs.
Howard Shaw, pianist, Betty Shaw, violin, Margie Bowman, mandolin.
During the meeting of May 10, the new officers for the coming year
were elected. They are: President, Mrs. Fred Stilwell; Vice-president,
Mrs. E. A. Frier, Jr., Secretary, Miss Alice Thomas; Treasurer, Mrs. E. F.
Nedrow. Miss Emma Lee, Dental Hygienist gave an enlightening talk
on “The Care of the Teeth.” Mrs. Lue King, the musical director, gave
a program showing what the children in the lower grades have done in
music. The Sophomore Class presented a skit called “Our Faculty at
School.”
Gordon Fritts: Dad, is it true that two can live cheaper than one?
Mr. Fritts: Yes, your mother and I can live cheaper than you.
Miss Bradley: When you come to a red light, don’t you stop?
Chorus: We don’t, “Speed.”
_______________
Miss Bradley: Why don’t you stop talking?
Gordon: A teacher told me to do in school what 1 expect to do when I
leave, and I surely expect to talk!
Miss Bradley: Well, you don’t talk when you’re in church, do you?
Gordon: Sure I do, just ask any ten Irishmen if 1 don’t.
Gordon Colgan: (at Young Farmers’ banquet) Why don’t they have beans
at a banquet?
Homemaking Department
Last Fall when school opened the Homemaking department consisted
of three classes. Two Homemaking B classes and a Homemaking A class.
The Homemaking B class has been studying and practicing interior
and exterior decoration. These classes took trips to Fayetteville, Syra-
cuse and Ithaca. This was to help us learn to distinguish the good designs
and periods of furniture and houses.
The Homemaking A class studied the first half term about clothing.
They learned to sew and choose the proper material and suitable patterns
for different types of people. The last half of the year they practiced
cooking. It consisted of food nutrients and methods of choosing menus
for different diets.
Our department has a club. The club members have indulged in
many activities, such as the State Conference at Rochester, bake sales,
parties and serving for numerous banquets. They have social events such
as a hike to the lake for a hot dog roast and a weekend party also at the
lake.
We, who belong to the Homemaking department realize that this is
one of the most interesting and popular courses in High School.

Young Farmers’’ Club
Our school has several evtra departments besides the regular high
school course. Among these is the agriculture department. From the
group studying agriculture has been derived the Young Farmers’ club.
This is an active club which is only one of a large number of active clubs
in our own state and throughout the United States.
In the early part of the year we organized with Leo Sullivan, presi-
dent; Vincent Rafferty, vice-president; Gordon Colgan, secretary and
treasurer; and John Streeter, reporter. Nineteen members were enrolled
this year with an alumni of nine. A number of our group attended the
State fair early in September. We were also represented at the annual
Fall rally of the Ithaca District Young Farmers held at Cornell. Here
we won a silver cup for the club winning the most events of the day.
Besides athletics a cattle judging contest was held. In February came
Farm and Home week, where we entered the livestock and poultry judg-
ing contests. John Streeter judged the livestock class consisting of draft
horses, four rings of dairy cattle and swine. Edward Barnett participated
in the poultry judging contest. In May we held our annual banquet, in-
viting Sherwood Young Farmers and initiating them into the Greenhand
degree. Honored guests were our fathers and the Board of Education.
A very interesting address was also given by Dr. E. R. Hoskins of
Cornell. Donald Armstrong, a senior in the college of agriculture and first
president of the Young Farmers of New York also gave a short address.
Our members have carried on their home projects as usual. We cer-
tainly appreciate the fully equipped shop provided us in our new school.
We feel that this year has been a very successful one for the welfare of our
organization and we hope that the coming year will bring a still greater
stimulation of interest in this work. John Streeter
Dedication
The dream of years came true on the evening of May 19 when our
new King Ferry Central School was dedicated.
The spacious auditorium was filled with hundreds of people who had
long anticipated this occasion.
The speakers of the evening, the Board of Education, with their
wives, and notable guests, consisting of former teachers, and principals
and some of our neighboring superintendents sat on the stage, which was
beautifully decorated.
The school orchestra opened the program of the evening. District
Superintendent, Clyde B. Myers acted as presiding officer and gave the
welcoming address.
Rev. Dr. W. T. Thayer gave the invocation which was followed by a
formal presentation of the building by Earl Hallenbeck, architect.
Roy A. Tuttle, President of the Board of Education then accepted
the building in behalf of the board and the people of the district. Mr.
Tuttle gave a tribute to our former District Superintendent, Dr. Fred V.
Lester, whose vision helped to lay the foundation for our central school,
also to our present superintendent, Mr. C. B. Myers, for his untiring
efforts, and to Mr. Charles Long, who gave most willingly of his time and
efforts to bring about a central school.
Mrs. Fred Stilwell, President of the Parent-Teacher Association gave
the appreciation of the parents for the wonderful building.
The President of the Student Council, Nancy Bower expressed the
gratitude of the students for the many advantages given them by the
new school. Principal E. A. Frier gave the school program.
These speeches were followed by a duet, sung by Miss Lura Campbell
and Miss Eleanor Brill.
Professor Julian E. Butterworth of Cornell brought greetings. Fol-
lowing, Mr. Ray P. Snyder, Commissioner of Rural Education of New
York State presented a fine address congratulating the Board of Educa-
tion and the architect and people of the community.
The audience sang “America the Beautiful” which was followed by
the benediction given by Rev. Father George M. Kalb.
At the close of the program, Senior pupil guides conducted the guests
through the building for inspection. Nancy Bower
Students' Council Dance
Spring came to King Ferry on May 5, when the first dance was held
in the new school auditorium. It was sponsored by the Student Council.
The auditorium was very freshly decorated with Spring flowers. Daven-
ports and card tables added to the comfort of the patrons and patronesses.
Each lady at the dance wore a corsage of sweet peas which were favors
of the Student Council. “Stan Harris and His Knights’ of Rhythm” a
five piece orchestra from Auburn, furnished the music for this delightful
dance.
Light refreshments were served during an intermission. It was
generally agreed that this first dance was highly successful.
Lura Campbell
Senior Play
One of the crowning events of this school year was the presentation
of “The Romantic Age” on April 22 and 24 in the school auditorium.
While it may seem that the play was too difficult to be undertaken
by a group of high school students, it was generally admitted that the
roles were skillfully portrayed.
The play concerned a romantic girl, Melisande Knowle (Nancy
Bower) who, thinking that her lover would come as a prince, had twice
refused the hand of Bobby Coate (J. D. Franklin). She accidentally met,
in the woods, a young man, Gervase (Marion Roller) who was dressed
for a masquerade ball and she thought he was her prince. Later seeing
him in ordinary clothes and learning that he was on the Stock Exchange,
she began to realize that it was “The Twentieth Century” and that her
lover would not come as a prince. Then she turned her thoughts to Bobby
whom she now found was interested in Jane, her cousin (Alice Wager).
Rejected by him, she allowed Gervase to teach her that romance can exist
even on the Stock Exchange. Mr. and Mrs. Knowle (David Myers and
Mary Conaughty) added much to the play. The part of Ern, a small
farm boy played by Orin May gave many laughs to the audience. Both
Charles Corey, in the part of Mr. Susan, a traveling salesman, and Lillian
Cook, the maid, did much to make this drama lively and interesting.
All King Ferry was surprised at the exceptional talent revealed in
this play. The acting was a credit not only to the actors but to Miss De-
La Vergne who directed this ambitious entertainment.
J. D. Franklin
Baseball
This year, as the March winds gave way to April showers and the
green grass replaced the snowy diamond, about thirty boys started to
practice baseball.
Some of the players of last year’s team remained with us and from
the younger recruits we were able to pick a fairly good team.
A meeting was held and Leo Sullivan was chosen captain and David
Myers was chosen manager.
With the good work of “Dave” Myers and “Hampy” Stewart on the
mound we are giving the opposing teams something to worry about.
We may look forward to a good team next year as we will lose only
two of our players. So watch that next year’s team win the championship I
They’re after it now! Leo Sullivan
Girls' Baseball
For the first time in the history of our school the girls went out for
baseball with Miss Snow and Mr. Handville as coaches.
On June 1, we played our fiist game with Genoa and won with a
score of 28-29.
We have a return game to play on June 7 with them.
The girls who went out for this new sport are: Rosamond Mason,
Ruth Sutphin, Mary Colgan, Olive Nedrow, Alice Wager, Christine Doyle,
Alma Williams, Jean Smith, Lucille Bradley Esther Barnhart, Florence
Golden and Lula Avery. Christine Doyle
Hoys' Basketball
This year we were fortunate to have three members of last year’s
team with us. Although we lacked in heighth and weight we tried to
make up for these handicaps by speed and clean playing.
This year the Athletic Association purchased new orange and black
suits for the team.
At the beginning of the year David Myers was chosen capatin and
Leo Sullivan was manager.
Out of the twelve league games played, we won seven and lost five.
We also played two games with Ludlowville, one game with the Epworth
League of Ledyard. At the closing of the season we played two benefit
games with Aurora.
We are all anxiously awaiting the return of basketball season next
year.
Girls' Basketball
The Girls’ Basketball Team enjoyed a jolly year of fun and hard
work. The girls were quick learning the game, which was entirely new
to them. Although they won no cups, they developed an admirable spirit
of cooperation and good sportsmanship.
Practice began the first of November with Mary Colgan as captain,
and Margaret Van Nest, manager. Miss Snow was the girls’ coach and
thanks are extended to Margaret Colgan for her loyal assistance, also.
The outlook is brighter for next year. All of this season’s first team
players will be returning. And we are counting on the second team for
theii' faithful support.

Athletic Council
Everyone has certainly seen the new basketball suits of the boys
and the girls’ new jackets. The athletic council bought them for the
teams at the beginning of the season, last fall. The council also bought
new sweaters for the boys.
The athletic council provided two cheer leaders, Marion Roller and
John Streeter, wno we feel did very efficient work in supporting their
teams. The council tried to promote better sportsmanship both on the
teams and the student body. In this the athletic council did not fail.
May 17, 1933 the council gave a banquet for all the basketball players.
Mothers of members of the teams were pi esent as well as the Board of
Education and their wives. Mr. Ronald Philippe from Syracuse Univer-
sity was present and gave to the group a short address on athletics.
The Athletic Council is grateful for the aid and cooperation which
the Board of Education has given during the past year.

Silver Threads Among the Gold
Chorus
Alma Mater, ever dearer
As the days and nights unfold
Closer woven in our mem’ries
Sweetest thoughts, as pure as gold
Tho’ we wander from the pathway
And the road grow dark and drear
We will cherish thee forever
For the ties of friendship here.

Alma Mater, thou hast taught us
How to walk Life’s winding road
How to bear our burdens gladly
And to share our neighbor's load
When the storms of life o’er take us
We shall hold these mem’ries dear
For the lessons thou hast taught us
Make us more thy name revere.

Tho’ we wander from the pathway
And the road grow dark and drear
We will cherish thee forever
For the ties of friendship here.
YOUR CHOICE
How do you live your high school life?
Are you foolish and carefree and gay?
Or are you sincere and earnest in strife
For the best that lies in your way?
Do you try, but when failure masters you
Give up and lie down in your path,
Or struggle onward, strong-hearted and true
’Til your smile conquers passion and wrath?
Just how do you play the game in your youth?
Are you able to rise when you fall?
If you mold your soul after beauty to truth
You will climb to the top of life’s wall.

Juniors' IVill to the Seniors
We, the class of 1934, feel that our esteemed friends, the Seniors
should depart from school with some worthy toxen of our friendship. We
therefore do bequeath to them the following gifts with our sincerest
wishes that they find them of lasting use in smoothing out the bumps
along their paths to success:
TO:
J. D. Franklin—A girl in King Ferry so he won’t have to go to Syracuse
SO OltvU.
Nancy Bower—Some peanuts for her “Sac.”
Nora Sutphin—A license so she can hunt Foxes out of season.
David Myers—Special permission from Arlene to get this teeth cleaned
next year.
Lillian Cook—A colonial house near Goodyear’s Corners.
Abe Strauss—A pulpit in a church after he has completed his course in
Chicago Seminary.
Rose Lick—A lot of money to buy curtains for Howard’s bungalow.
Leo Sullivan—A new Ford so he won’t have to crank it.
Mary ConaughLy—Something to listen to so she won’t have to talk so much.
Alice Wager—A book of alibis when she runs out of excuses.
Charles Corey—A perfect girl to accompany him to the White House.
