THF ITHACA HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL EDITH SLIGHTS, ttSlightsy ' ' t' Patel' There is within this class A girl to be esteemed, Of greatest human intellect We mortals ever dreamed. For honor of this school She sure has done her share. We know from sad experience Her type is very rare. LOIS .SMITH Patsie Vivian Martin?-Anita Webb?-No!-Lois Smith. Smith? Well, I don't know-not so good. Lois? That 's all right. But hark! I must start off on that usual repertoire. QSoft musiej. Lois has been with us four years and has been the little sunshine of old I. H. S. QA dime is dropped from the balcony by an admirerj. Her merry laughter will be missed in the halls when she leaves us to ascend the hill tif she doesn't decide to take the popular P. GJ. She will never more be with us Qunless a pink slip comes from Davy after the first terinj. All I can say, as one ciompliment to Patsey, it is surely to our gain and Gornellls loss that she has chosen such a brave and sacrificing future. Amidst a peel of applause and a shower of onions-peeled-we take our leave. HOVVARD DEL. SNYDENR, Shyd t'Jack Shorty Here's a fellow we all know. He has been around High School for four long years. Snyd is a corporal in the Eighth Squad, Oo. I, of High School Cadets. By virtue f the office he became leader of t Awkward S uad ich has been given the unique nam of ' Snyderls ava Snipersf' Many of us no doubt are fa il' with Ja ' it e 'ttlivver,7' without which Howard' ny trins 'to h 'tbest girl in Cort- land c l , be, maid Snyd,s Freshman year he d hard but the hiee f lowing years he 's been blufiin' ' rough. Can yfuu at it? Hiowever. after his long years o education are over, Howardiexuects to enlist with Var- na's Volunteer Vaudeville Company, vehemently voiced as vig- orously vigilant. All success, old man. RALPH o. SPACE, Hspaceyv Ralph came to us last fall from the great metropolis of 'Dry- den and consequently, in this short time, has not acquired more than one nick-name. Whiat ever influenced him to leave the cute little high school in his home town we can 't guess, but he says that there are more opportunities down here. We wonder what he means Spacey has his troubles. He lives next door to an amateur violinist and his sleep is filled with music. He has spent most of his spare time changing boarding places. 'fSpaxcey is an automobile enthusiast also. and thinks the world of a Fiske. Next year he will begin life's battles and with his usual good luck we know that he will come out top of the heap.

SENIOR KNOCKS 43 LINA ROSE You asked about this girl-- Her nianio in Lina Rose. Sho paints quite lovely pictures, She also cooks and sews. She jabbers in the Spannish tongue CI'm saying this to tease herj, She is expert in making fudge, Ilm saying this to please herj. NORMA ROSE, R0sie,' Ni1na Here we have her, one of the best examples of what Ludlow- ville and I. H. WS. can produeo when eombined in one sublime effort. She may look innocent but we, who know her, are con- vinced that it 's alll a b1uE and could easily be detected if one had a good enough flush light. However, we must snap-out for flashlights are forbidden topics with Rosie Well, old dear, wetve watched you with pleasure thruout High ,School and re- member we're looking for something great from you in the near future. HELEN RUSSEL, Russie ' ' Among the gifts which are most appreciated are firmness and truth. Our little Helen possesses these qualities which have endeared her to us. Her cleverness and geniality, and even her nonsense, have made her many friends here. She is fond of gay colors, but BLUE is her favorite and is always Qbojeoming to her. It is too great ra task to enumerate all of Helen 's vir- tues. The High School students and many outsiders find in her an agreeable companion and ra faithful friend. RUTH SEARS Tall and stately, full of grace, Like a goddess fair- Ruth Sears entered i11 our school- Heaven sent her there. Cheerful, full of life and fun Full of wisdom, t-oo, Ruth, you 've ch-armed our hearts away, Just leave it to you! 7

SENIOR KNOCKS 45 GENEVIEVE STONE, Jebby Jenny Patsy Je-bby Stone, Sweet Genevieve, The sweetest girl alive, Has won our hearts by her sweet smile- I fear We'1l not su1'vive! Everyone in High School Has .come to know her well- In skating, dancing, making friends, She surely does excel. Debating from Assembly Stage, Or writing prize essays, Shels sure to carry 0E first prize, So may she do always! HELEN WARENA STONE EDWIN H. STRUNK, Buzz Bub Well, here is our little busy bee, 'buzzing around as usual. At first we seriously thoug'ht of omitting l1i111 for we e0u4ldn't lind him even with a inieroseope. Evidently f'Buzz had the same idea of omission, or perhaps he prefered to entrust himself to the tender mercies of the Annual Board rather than those of his friends. At any rate we were requested to perform the ceremonies. First and foremost, Bulb has worked until he is but a. shadow of his former self, trying to solve problems so that his name will not appear on Miss Ashton's night school roll call. In a way he has succeeded and as a result has not spent more than five nights a week correcting papers. As hero extraordin- ary of the Dramatic Club, Miss Kelly has seen fit to award Buzz the eroekheted piano. Taxnen ad astra per ardua, Buzz. 77 BERTHA SULLIVAN, 'tBert HBertie T-hose lovely eyes and soft brown hair- To whom do they belong? That silv'ry voice-1 hat laugh so elear- Wlio sings that sweetest songil 'Tis Bertha. Sullivan, her voice Is known throughout the towng She's jolly, and shefs full of pep, And never wears a frown. Slhe works real hard, but that 's not all, For HBert'l does like her fun. So, if you want an all-round girl, Take Bertha Sullivan.
