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

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.

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.

THE ITHACA HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL KATHARINE L. CURRAN HKitty!7 l6Flipl7 322 N. Plain Street The Wreck of the Hesperus 3: Lady of Shalott 3: King Harold 4: O Lovely Night 1, 4: On Shore and Sea 1: Art Club 4: Science Club 4: Home Room Basketball 8. Clap Yo' Hands-enter Kitty upon the stage grasping firmly in her right hand her coveted sheepskin fdiplomaj. Yes, indeed, our Kitty has graduated, much to our regret. But this calam- ity was sure to come sooner or later because of Flip's voracity in devouring most of the indi- gestible subjects taught in this institution. Every- one will miss her with her captivating and con- tagious giggle for it is a well known fact that se- riousness is taboo wherever Flip happens to be. Her short sojourn of four years with us has passed too quickly but, alas, you can't keep a good woman down, so Kitty is going on the hill. The best wishes of the Senior Class are with her in whatever she undertakes. DORIS DANNS 708 N. Aurora Street Here is to Doris, whom we all adore, Whose dark locks We gaze on, admiring the moreg Willing to work, ever ready for fun Ne'er hesitating to help anyone, Bubbling with laughter, she knows how to smile, The sort of a girl who is really worth while. MARJORIE L. DAVENPORT 912 W. State Street Home Room Basketball 3: The Wreck of the Hesperus 3: Lady of Shalott 3: 0 Lovely Night 4: King Harold 45 Senior Stunts 4: Dramatic Club 4. Rose White and Rose Red of the fairy tale will indeed have to bow to this angelic little fairy princess! It was Rose White, wasn't it, whose disposition was so sweet and good? Well, she was something like Marjorie but not quiteg for under her apparent angelic temperament Mar- jorie is not too good and sometimes can be quite a scamp. Did you see her in the Frolic? If you did all your ideas of perfection have been ruined. Well, she is plenty good enough, and those chil- dren who follow wisdom's way under her guid- ance after she finishes Normal School-Oh, what a darling teacher they will have!
