SENIOR KNOCKS 27 ALLEN, VIRGINIA Jinny Four years ago this demure maiden launched her ship on the sea of learning at I. H. S. The name of Virginia's worthy craft was Desire and she sought Knowledge. She has steered skillfully around the Rocks of Failure, through the narrow Channel of Regents and is now ready to leave us to pilot her ship in the deeper waters on the hill. We are all glad you chose I. H. S. for your Alma Mater, Jinny. The many friends you have made during your four short years here wish you success in whatever you undertake. ASAI, JOE Jo This Oriental lad is truly a sheik! It is generally con- ceded by both faculty and students that his raging Ford is the detriment of his life. However, the Ford leaves en ugh of him so that he studies quite frequently and in a ce ' mber of years, he has enough counts to graduate. He ' corrigible radio fan and it is reported that he will be getting Mars or one of the stars.

XB KE , DORIS PAULINE Dorie Bake 1 V The Drama of '24 Time-1921-1924 Place-I. H. S. Character-Doris Baker As we think over those who have best played their parts in this drama of the class of '24, we always put next to the top of the list Bake Whether her part has been ksmall or important, it has been with a spirit of good sports- manship that she has accomplished the task. Dorie has also taken her H. S. course in three and a half years, while most of us boast at least four. When she has a singing role-well! we all just think we're in paradise. We under- stand 'tBake will be a music director and don't we all wish we were going to be her pupils?

THE ITHACA HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL BAKER, ELIZABETH Pie Bake You certainly must know 'fPie, that charming and studious maiden about to depart from our midst. But she has not spent all her time studying. Besides being an eminent debato of th t august body known as the Legis- lative Asse she alias become a particularly shining star in the a etgidlk firmament. As Vice-President of the Senior Glas ' e has added one more success to many others. I El zabeth's cheerfulness, kindness and will- ingness to help, ave made her a favorite wherever she goes. Next year she is going far above Cayugals waters to enter that famous institution, Cornell University. The best wishes of the whole school go with her. BAKER, FREDERICK VVOODHULL Fredo Michael Angelou Flora New discovery astonishes learned men. Medical world aroused. Inconspicuous man cause of favor in scientific fields. Laugh and be a scholar is the prescription pur- sued by the most brilliant men from Aesop down and in- cluding the present graduating class. The discovery of this remedy is none other than our Fredo, whose face has moved thousands to tears, of laugh- ter. It was at Lake Ridge, an ancient metropolis, outside of Ithaca that Fredo met his 'tlife's work. She would even make him peel the onions. His comedian's role was assumed while attending school, and though his art is mimicked on the screen by Ben Turpin, Harold Lloyd and others, the original is unproducable. Combining the smil- ing face of Buster Keaton 'and the homely map of Ru- dolph Valentino, a fair idea of the beauty of our Fredol' may be realized. May the love-nest at Lake Ridge forever keep our social lion from migrating West, to Reno. BARNARD, DAVID R. Dave Our little David from East Hill has met and defeated his Goliath. His latest triumph with his little sling was gained in a twenty weeks' battle with Trig and now he is ready to take on Kid Cornell this fall. His success, he at- tributes to an extensive course of study in Congress and to Mr. Thompson's football heroes. It has been rumored that at last Dave has succumbed to the wiles of the more deadly sex. More than one woman has given up an en- gagement to go tobogganing with him and the old Palace Laundry is working overtime to keep Dave in clean shirts. But all joking to one side, as Ring Lardner would say, Dave has proven his worth as a gentleman and a scholar and it behooves us to wish him the best of luck in his trials with Engineering. BEARDSLEY, EMMA LOUISE Emma Lou Dutch Joe Did you ever ride up State street with Emma Lou and notice all the STOP signs turn to UGO? Why, that car of her will take even the steepest 4'Hill on high. Her Fliv NSX1as done many a kind deed, taking football men down to the field and perhaps a party of four for a ride event period. Dutch has been a brilliant student, in fac , l a permanent fixture to these halls of learn- ing. xSh 'll be missed by all her teachers for she was always ac mmodating. We don't know just exactly what she is thin g of doing. But whatever it may be, we wish her the best luck.
