SENIOR KNOCKS 29 BEASLEY, ETHELYN Sis Sister f'Budweiser Could there be a nickname more suitable than Sis for this reckless carefree youth? Just four years ago our halls were brightened by her cheerful smile and now she has decided to leave us to pursue her life ambition-archi- tecture. Some day we may hear of her designing some great building of fame. Her vast amount of wit and mischief have won for her many friends who now hate to see her leave. Well, here's success to you, little sister, in whatever you may undertake in life. BETTEN, ROBERT S. '4Bob Ah! ha! girls! we knew you'd look here first. Yes, we'll have to admit that ' just a bit good-looking the thinks he isj. But in spite 0 that, Bob is a mighty good worker. Ever since he ' ned us, tive years ago, he has proven his ability to c y n t business of the 'tTattler Cand everybody elsej on. As business manager, last year, he showed prodigio petency and skill. The early appearance of the Annual this year, is also due to Bob's hard efforts, and its completeness and accur- acy may safely be attributed to his careful oversightC?J. In fact, so thorough and diligent is this frivolous member of High School Societyfsi , that in a few years we will be proudly reading in the American Magazine his already famous article, How I Came to Be Such a Big Success. BLOSTEIN, ROSE Rose left us in January, and our source of information was indispensably missed. Because of her brillinacy in books, she left us at that time. When she studied, I don't know, I've often wondered. Perhaps it was from 11 to 12 or 12 to 1 P. M. or A. M. Rose is accomplished in many ways. With her violin, she plays the latest jazz and the most diflicult compositions. Whatever she does in the future, we know she'll make good, and we wish her luck. BOESCHE, OTTO HANS Ot Otis Otto Ot is a sly and retiring young lad born and reared on the slopes at the east end of Beebe Lake, better known as Forest Home. Who would guess that this f'Hunk o' Humanity Cgenerally four-eyedb on our left is a scholar? Yet he has a rec 'which many might envy. Otis ex- cels as a homggmrozm reporter, having acted in that ca- pacity ever sin ejzgha been! in high school. Although not participating in any' hletics in school, he is Sec.-Treas. of the Outdoor B' ycl Boys , having held this office for two years. Oneywould scarcely doubt this if he could see Otto winging his way to school on his trusty steed. Well, so long, Otto, whatever you decide to do you have our best wishes.

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.

THI IFHACA HIGH SCHOOL AN.Yl,'AI. BOOL, MALCOLM ALFRED Male Mac Longfellow Here is the smiling Mac , who for four long years has been wearing out the books of the I. H. S. But now, hav- ing duly'presented his seventy-seven counts for every- one's inspection, he has decided to leave these well-known halls and seek his fortune elsewhere. Except for a slight scrimmage with Caesar whom he finally overthrew, he has downed everything presented to him. Having absorbed all we have to give, he has decided to leave us to become a draftsman. Therefore, if sometime in the near future, you again see this young man, arrayed in the latest style and driving a Hup, model 1919, you will know he has realized his dream. BOOTHROYD, LUCY ELIZABETH Tighty Who would think to look at Lucy that such eloquence and fire were hidden under her calm exterior? But Lucy has been with us only two y and we have not yet gotten on to all her abilities., S e s, a quiet young thing but when she does open he th-ah-such fluency, such feeling. such a marvelo s v cabulary facquired in English IVJ ! We are all h p ed when she speaks in Legislative and hail r as s c d nly to Cicero. Who knows? Per- haps som day e shal hear her debating in Washington or givin ep botanical lecture. For Tighty is Miss Reidy's d ght. The Senior Class came near doing with- out Lucy, but they got along so badly they had to send her an S. O. S. call. Wherever Lucy goes, she will be sure to follow a starry course. BRAUNER, ERLING B. Vit 'tVitty Yes, we agree that Vit certainly is a t'Princel' and a friend whom anyone might be proud to claim. This fair- haired, blue-eyed lad has left little to be accomplished, his deeds ranging from the seemingly light work-for him- of studying, to harder tasks such as Cross Countryg play- ing the Heart-breaker in the Dramatic Club plays-and outside as well. We must not make light of his abilities as leader of the Glee Club for a better, more popular and worthy leader would be diflicult to find. Vitty is leaving us to go to Europe for a time. Will we miss him? Cheer up, 'tVit,'l you are coming back again and all of your many friends will welcome you home with joy greater than their sorrow at your leaving. Bon Voyage to you, Vit l 1 f' Q BRILLHART, RQTLPI E. Brill Ruthie Rufus Afterffmz years y intensive struggle, Ruth has ac- quired Tent -seNQns counts. During the last two years B'!'ill,' tudiegxleigurely in school hours, but found much to'ocX'crtpy hi evenings, Whenever there was a dance, Ruthie could b found 'Chaseiingb around the floor with a certain yo, . This young lady is one of the few for- tunateslpeings who have managed to get through our school in fourNyears. Rufus is a member of Miss Bryant's chirpingsiglub. and devoted to athletics. She has enjoyed prosperity in her high school career and may she continue to do so in Cornell. We extend to her the heartiest wishes for success from the class of '24,
