SENIOR KNOCKS EDITH EUGENIA EGBERT Edee-U Edie 201 Center Street Science Club 3. 4: Le Cercle Francais 4: 0 Lovely Night 2, 3: The Wreck of the Hesnerus 4: Art Club 3, 4, Treas- urer 4: Varsity Hockey 4: Hero and Leander 3: Lady of Shalott 4. This fair young miss has been in high school only three and a half years. She is among the youngest in her class. Those who know her will agree that Edith is one of the most conscientious of students, so we feel confident that when she gets her M. D., she will receive it with honors. Edee-U is also musically talented, and she may advance along this line some. At any rate IVe all wish her great success in whatever she docs, and we all bid her a fond farewell. MYRA EMERSON CCMy,! HMel? CLI-Iyp0ppy77 501 Dryden Road VVrrr'k of the Hesnerus 1, 4: Pan 2: 0 Lovely Night 3: Assembly Committee 4: Home Room Collector 2, 3: Class Basketball 1. 2. 3, 4: Science Club 4. Just take one glance at Myra's eyes and you'll know why everyone says she is beautiful. My , a member of the Cliff Dwellers, has decorated the halls of the Ithaca High School for four busy years and had made nervous wrecks of more than one of the teachers, with her steady flow of con- versation. She is the kind of a girl who would love school if it weren't for the classes, but she has managed to bluff most of the teachers, and so is about to end her high school career with Commencement. Myra expects to enter Cornell in the fall. We know that she will make a great success of it without any trouble. BENJAMIN THORPE FIELD Ben Bennie R. F. D. 6, Ithaca Baker Scholarship 2. 3: On Shore and Sen 2: Hero und Leander 3: Wreck of the Hesncrus 4: Annual Collector 3: Srnior Frolic 3, 4: Ring and Pin Committee 4. Ben is one of the most illustrious members of our Five Year Club: and those five years have been well spent! He's gone through math from Algebra to Trigonometry, like a cyclone, and has dumbfounded each and every ingenious teacher. Now he seeks new worlds to conquer. Ben be- lieves that haste makes waste, and that candy is brain-food. Stick by your beliefs, Bennie, old man: they've treated you fine so far. Next year, Ben is going to wear a little gray cap, and doesn't intend to cut any classes in Ag. Don't give up, Ben, you can do it and we're all behind you.

ROBERT PATRICK DRISCOLL CCB0b!! 423 East Seneca Street Congress Zi, 4, 5, President Pro-Tem 5: Glee Club 55 As- sistant Manager of Basketball 31 Manager of Basketball 4. You have undoubtedly heard of that famous institution, the I. H. S. Congress. Well, would you believe it-our little friend on the left is none other than the dignified speaker of said body and now and then, when a debate waxes warm, great bursts of oratory can be heard. Driscoll has been in the process of gradua- tion for some time, but now it looks as if it were really going to happen. Here's to you and yours, Bob. May you have a long and happy existence and don't forget you've got a chance to be presi- dent. THEODORE HILDRETH EATON, Jr. KlTedH 105 Brandon Place Ia- Cerclr Francais 3, 4: Science Club 2. 3, 4. No doubt you have heard about this young man before. Yes, you're right,-he's the entomolo- gist. Although still comparatively young, Ted has accomplished a great deal more than getting a high school education. In fact, Ted's time has been so taken up with entomology that he has not found much room for social or athletic activities. He has, furthermore, considerable ambition in the literary field, and it's certain you will hear of him later on. Best wishes of the class of '26, Ted!

After much effort, he has also waded through Virgil with honors. Next year, a few of the lucky ones will see Norm's smiling Visage among the art students of Cornell. For five years, Fitz's good cheer has graced our halls of knowledge, and now his friendly greeting will be missed. Norm has helped to further the pur- poses of three of our clubs. In the Cert-le Francais his fluent French has been welcome, and his fun appreciated. The Ithetaeria has also been lucky enough to attract Fitz, with the re- sult of fun and good cheer for every one. We all join in wishing him success in every and any- thing he may do. MARGARET G. FOWLER KCPeg.77 lCMidg,e7!
