,,,, RICHARD Douoa Dirk After a span of four for perhaps fivel years, the walls of Ithaca High will cease to reflect the figure of Dick, the budding speed-boy. He took his turn at track in his junior year. and has been running ever since. Dick wishes that some one would write a book entitled, How to bluff one's way through school. He has many helps for such a person. But, as he is going on the Hill next year, we know that he is in- telligent. FR.1xNcEs DUTKY ..Fmn ., 'tKing Harold 3: Hockey 23 Tennis 2, 3: O Lovely Night lg VVreck of the Hes- perus 25 Lady of Shalott' 23 Alice in YVonderIand lg Basketball 23 Home Room Reporter -I-g German Club 4. Miss Dutky is as usual disturbing me. This statement is heard throughout the school when Fran appears. She has been called: The greatest talker of the 20th cen- turyf' Surely the librarian can verify this statement. Laying all joking aside, however, Fran is a little cherub. What a reputation she has for writing themes! I wonder if she writes such lovely letters as she does themes? WVe hope so, for we may envy a certain young CH down in the ole South. 'LFran isn't in many clubs for the simple reason that nobody knows what a sweet girl she is, and what a good friend she always proves to be. VVe all wish her the best of luck, whether she enters Cornell in the fall, or goes South to live. 28 GL.-xDYs M. DR1scoLL Red Sunshine VVhenever you hear exclamations of Oh, what beautiful red hair! you may be sure that Red is somewhere around. Her favorite expression is 'Oh, Yaby , she de- lights in punishing the typewriter and her favorite indoor sport is deciphering short- hand. She is one of those rare people whose shorthand can be read by othersg and this, added to the fact that she can spell renais- sance right the first Hb time, entitles her to a leather medal, we think. Seriously speaking, Red is all right and we know that wherever she goes she will continue to live up to the nickname of sunshine . H ARRY Dwoasm' Harry VVell, of all things, if Harry isn't going to graduate! Some hidden inspiration must have driven him on to higher aspirations so that he could graduate with only a live year record behind him. Nevertheless, we know how hard Harry has worked to shake himself of study, although seemingly hope- less. VVe suppose that Harry is going to devote his life to either carpentry or butch- ering, and wish him the best of luck in his future career.

PAULINE ESTHER CRUTTS Science Club 2, 33 O Lovely Night 45 King Harold -1-3 Wreck of the Hesperus 2, 33 Hero and Leander 25 On Shore and Sea 2g The Lady of Shalott . Among the gifts which are most appreci- ated are firmness and truth. Our little Paul- ine possesses these qualities which have won her our love and admiration. It is too great a task to enumerate all of Pauline's virtues which are so numerous. The High School students and many outsiders find her an agreeable companion and a faithful friend. It is her plan to attend Business School next year and our good wishes for success go with her. RUTH T. DANNS Lefty Ruthie Tu'incr VVreck of the Hesperusn 3g Lady of Sha- lott 23 0 Lovely Night 3g King Haroldu 3g 'On Shore and Sea 45 King Rene's Daughter 4. Four short years ago this fair young lady came to us from that famous school. Fali Creek! Lefty is an all-around good sport and always willing to help in making this old world a better place to live in. Ruthie has done well despite her tendency to QKlnapCpl now and then. Ruth leaves her Alma Mater to go to the Rochester Dental School. VVell, Lefty, the illustrious Class of '28 wishes you the best of luck. FREDERICK CRYSLER Fred Freddie Gentle breezes were blowing on that Sep- tember morn when Freddie first joined these ranks. Gentle breezes, too, have wafted that fair-haired and smiling countenanced youth three successful years of Latin, French, and all that makes a man . Meanwhile he Rhoda 'round the back-stage and became quite a Hopper when the art of making scenery stand up was necessary. VVhat would we have done without Fred? VVhat will we do when he begins to bother the leaves on the hill? ROSARIA D ELAURENTIS No doubt about it! Rosaria has decided to leave us. Four years ago, a gust of wind dropped this demure little maiden in our midst. Since then, the breeze has continued, dumbfounded everyone with whom it came into contact. It will take a long time before we regain our consciousness. Rosaria is another of those business maidens who are seeking a position under Uncle Sam.

JULIA EATON RUTH Caceus. ELLENNVOOD Julie Ju11'iP Jule Science Club 1, 2g German Club 33 Choral Club lg The Lady of Sbalott 25 The VVreck of the Hesperusu 2, O Lovely Night 33 King Harold 3. In the beginning of the February term, what a commotion was to be seen land heardj in Room l02! -Iulie' Eaton had come back from her long trip through these United States, and was again brightening the hall with her golden hair, and making us gay with her laugh. VVe were all glad to see her, and, miracle of miracles, her teachers were too! For Julie is a good student, and is graduating at the end of three and a half years, which makes it harder than ever for us to part with her. We wish julie the best of luck in her college career. EDVVARD D. FARLING Eddie Uncle Dudley Glee Club 3, 43 Swimming Team 3, -lg French Club 45 Traflic Officer 43 Hero and Leander 25 The VVreck of the Hesperus' 3: On Shore and Sea 4. VVell if it isn't our ole friend Eddie.'l It's too bad but Eddie is going to leave us. Eddie may often be seen in the halls with some of the fellows l'joshing him about some girl friend he has turned down for an unknown reason. Eddie in spite of all his peculiarities, is a good sport and will pass in a crowd if it's big enough. Eddie doesn't know quite, what profession he would like to go into, although he has talked of aviation and pharmacy. L20 Ruthie Girls' basketball, assistant manager 35 man- ager -lg Le Cercle Francais 3, 4-Q Vice-presi- dent 45 Dramatic Club 3, -lg Vice-president 45 Legislative Assembly 43 General Council 2, 43 Athletic Council 4. Ruth Ellenwood entered our noble halls of learning, unheralded and unsung. Her passage through them has been like that of a comet. She not only is a leader in scholarly attainments but has the worry of every organization in the school on her young shoulders . VVe have noticed her liking for darling little Teddy Bears. High School will sustain a loss when Ruth leaves to win honors for herself in other institu- tions, but we know she will manage her college career as successfully as sh: has basketball. Donornv ELAINE F eiuuss Dorothy thinks she's actually going to graduate! WVhat a failure the orchestra will be when she departs from these Halls of Learning, for she has spent most of her seventh periods this term in the assembly hall. The history department will also loose one of its star performers when Dorothy leaves, for next to chemistry, His- tory is Dorothy's favorite subject. In fact she came back to cram a year this term. Dot went out west last spring and ever since she got back, she's talked to us about North Dakota, and how nice it is out there. She apparently would have liked to have stayed, but we're glad she came back to graduate with us, and incidentally to write the history of this illustrious class.
