THE ITHACA HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL JOHN CHRISTENSEN Johnny Chris 119 Linn Street Congress 4: Glee Club 4: Lacrosse 3: Home Room Basket.- ball 3: Basketball 4: Hero and Leander 2: The Wreck of the Hcsperus 3: King Harold 4. Several years ago Johnny arrived at a teacher's desk and registered himself. From that time on he has never failed to come every day with all his lessons prepared, and now, in the course of human events, Johnny is a se- nior. Chris is quite an athlete. At the early age of one day he entered the human race and is still going strong. He is often to be seen play- ing tennis on a court and we will probably hear of him as a champion soon. Although his name is not always on the honor roll, he seems to maintain a very satisfactory record in scholarship. We will all be very sorry to lose him, but we know he will make good next year. if MARGARET E. CLAREY Peg Sis Charley Dewdrop 439 N.

For the past four years Peg has rushed madly down Aurora St., and sometimes, in her anxiety to get here before nine-thirty, she even jumpsthe ash cans. Besides being a star hurdler, Charley sure can trip the light fantastic, as she showed-us when she gave her snappy version of a spaiiightdance. Charley always made good for no obstacle has proven too great for her. In school activities Peg has been a prominent fig- ure asJ secretary and treasurer of the Dramatic Club. Peg is a good friend and her charming personality 'has won her many friends in the I.H.S. , , JJKENNETH R. COBB Ken Silent Cleo I.

SENIOR KNOCKS ALFRED D. BUSH HAI!! KGCurly!7 1301 N. Cayuga Street Home Room Basketball 1, 2. 3: Assistant Manager of Football 4: lluscball 4, 5. Aha! The grand old man who has been with us the last five years is going to leave. He isn't an overly conspicuous person, but he is by no means an insignificant chap. During his sojourn with us, it has been his habit to absent himself from school in the pheasant season. But, in spite of this one failing, we have nothing to worry about as far as Al's success is concerned, for we all know that he will turn out a good record in the future. HELEN M.

A Comedy in Four Years 1923-Helen enters! Our comedy has begun. The audience holds its breath as Helen strug- gles with the villain called Elementary Algebra. 1924-She is now a Soph and woe be to the seniors when Helen shows them where she be- longs! 1925-Helen gaily dances her way through the Junior year of this comedy and wins the much coveted blue ribbon for doing the least studying. 1927-With tears in the heroine's eyes she tells us that she did not mean to leave us so soon, but that she couldn't help it she bids us good-bye and-and-GRADUATES!

He has sent fiowers and candy to Albany so I expect he will be leaving us in June. How we shall miss those spiritual orations Hung at us each Thursday morning dur- ing September and October. And as for the football team-what will they do without their Hopping manager? The halls will be quite bar- ren during classes: what a rest the traffic cops will have. We hear you're going to teach Cicero, yet we wish you lots of luck, Tommy, around the thirteenth of June and ever after.

State Street Congress 4: Glee Club 4: Chairman Social Committeei of Senior Class 4: Ou Shure and Sea 2: Hero and Leander 3: The Wreclc of the Hesperus 1. ' ' Don is one of the famous I. H. S. Congress- men and can often be heard taking a lively part inthe Tusday night discussion. Don is always much in evidence at the school dances, where he is kept busy showing his many girl friends a good' time. He is also the captain of the swimming team and has made his share of the points in the meets. We were surprised to learn that Don belongs to Miss Bryant's choristers but never- theless, it is true, and he can be heard warbling among' the tenors. Enough said! ' CLYDE G.

Committee 4. The ham what am! Curly is one of the best guys in this here dump iso he saysl. Birdy's trick knee kept him from indulging in the varsity sports, but he did support the team, especially on the trips in the back seat,!, Had he wanted to do so, this princely chap could have led the honor roll. Prince also has the dis- tinction of being the only senator sitting among- the representatives in Congress, and also being. the one to introduce red ties' to the local public. Curly has shown us how to be a fine sport and still-oh, you know what! Long' may his hair wave on high! CHRISTINE T. CUMMINGS e Teen Chris Tobios Ella H Q -HX Illiczi Street : 4 '- 'l h'- Wveelf of the Hesvwru-: 3: 0 Lovely Night 4: Hero and Iiliillllivl' 2: Sci:-ure Club I. Meet Tobios, the writer of the famous book How to Enjoy Doing Your Homework. Sev- eral million copies of this book have been sold to students all over the world, who have hailed it as a revelation. The outstanding feature of the publication is the idea not to do it at all. Sad to relate, this book has been condemned by many teachers and parents. The author is an all around good sport and friend and we are sorry she is leaving us. She is going' in search of higher education at New York University. Here's wishing you luck, Chris
