THE ITHACA HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL ERNEST TERRELL, Ernie We, the students of the Ithaca High School, do resolve and ordain that Ernie shall not soon be forgotten by us. Said Ernie Terrell, having been with us four years, has proven him- self worthy of mention. Whereof we do therefore iind numer- ous qualities to his benefit, one thereof being the art of dancing which often, yea very often, leads him unto North Aurora street. Unto Ernie has always fallen the lot of stage-manager of the plays in the above mentioned I. H. S., whereof was formed the habit of making others do all the hard work. It has been said unto us that accidents will happen in the best of families, so even if Ernie is not on your list of acquaintances, you s-urely have seen his smiling countenance in the halls, especially in tlhe ladies' corridors. Therefore, Wie, the aforementioned pupils, do resolve that Ernie be counted among the Gone but not for- gotten. DALE TROUP Alia! Caught in the act of trying to escape a write-up in the Annual! HEvil will out,,' Dale, and, as usual, at the last minute we found you were missing . Under this short notice, however, we 'haven't time to hunt up Da.le's past. But at any rate we'll let that slip past without comment and come to his glorious present. Yes, Dale has distinguished himself, both on the Annual and in Congress. Lo-ok at the Necropolis in the back of this book and see the arduous tasks which have caused his untimely demise. Well, Dale, a.s you would say, We've gotta do it,' ' so we will bid thee a fond farewell. Nevertheless, we'1l always remember you as a miglhty fine fellow, Dale. EILINONR TROY, El ' ' A tall and charming lady With black and glossy tresses, And hazel eyes of t nquil y 4 -I Whose meaning A shark in all her A dies, As well a i de tes, 1 Full of jo nd laughter, n some dates e is among her talents The one of music to-og I haven 't time to tell them all, Perhaps these few will do. WILL AM VAN ORDER, Bill Van Ye , w are 'lad' th hotographer was able to catch Bill still lon ' h to ake slpicture. Since is election to the An- n B 1 ,fhe has at ired a faculty being erywhere but s Hh'f4l8I'9 t ri uld be sure t ey vveren't drea ng. T e I nl n i.m, unless you take you life in your hands and attempt to fo e a Way to the office, is to pose in one of the pictures he manages at Robin- son ,s, or to preserve this inanimate likeness of him. His friends had hoped to keep him with them next year, but Bill has a de- cided inclination to try Rochester Mechanics Institute. No matter Whether the end of the next year finds Van in Rochester or in the midst of a bloodathirsty gang of cannibals, the many sincere friends he has made at High School, will not cease to Wish him their very best.

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?

FREDERICK ATWATER WILCOX Tow-head Freddy Peter Heart-breaker and last but not least Miss SheEer's Blond. Look at him, poor boy, worry centered mostly on the ways of women, especially in the regions of the Goose Pasture. That far-away expression is a memory of Auburn, for Alice is a, nice girl. In Cortland is another Alice,-in fact Alice CMH is a much-beloved name by this ardent lover Cof booksj. 'Con- gress found in him a second Daniel Webster' in the fact that his vocabulary is like a dictionary. As manager of basketball he never has forgotten anything except an occasional contract and to fhave several telephone calls during recitations. Peter is the silent member of the General Council, being present at only one meeting, that of installation. As manager of basketball everyone in High School will think of him as one of the best who ever held this office. Peter has been with us only three and a half years a.nd leaves with best wishes for success from the whole Senior Class. VVherever you go next year, Fred, here's to that success! ADELAIDE VVOOD, Addie Woodie 'tAddie is another one of those who has been a cause of hold- ing up this book because she left the job of writing her write- up to the Annual Board. Nevertheless just because it was Woodie we are forgiving her. HAddie's artistic abilities have had a great olpportunity to enlarge during the past year, and, as a result, we have some rather fine masterpieces pre- served for posterity. Gan you wonder that Wooflie has had difficulty in choosing a vocation? However there is one which it is most likely Addie will pursue. Yes, old dear, try nursing if you like, but for goodness sakes be careful!
