D.XX'IlJ T. XX'Il.l1l-IR-D3X'j' is our class baby. Many, many times have we scolded him for sucking his Hnger while walking about the room. Yet we are proud of him. for he is our infant prodigy. He entered the lligh School from l.aurel -Xvenue at the tender age of I3 and will be barely I7 years old when. he graduates. We have persuaded him that he is altogether too young to begin his course of mechanical engineering at Cornell this year. so he will learn the preliminaries of the trade in the cement business in the modern metropolis of l.estershire. XY. lQ.XY.XlHXll lXil.l-Il-I-l lere is another who has done excellent work in declamation, but he has been singu- larly unfortunate. lle was one of those selected for the preliminary contest in IQO4, but was com- pelled lu resign because of the death of his mother. He was one of the speakers again this year, but was unable lin appear because of a severe cold. llile has been again chosen for the contest this june. 'lllc girls all want him lu become a minister when he leaves school, because he has such a ine voice. We were at a loss lu determine for what profession he is best fitted. but were easily convinced that he had found his place when we heard that he intended to keep time for the chain-gang on the good road work this summer. 4 'i..yi'oi-g 6 His l.i-toon-1--.X quiet reserved gentleman who has kept his school work up to a good standard right along, paid his class dues regularly and paid no more attention to the young ladies than was ab- solutely necessary --altogether an excellent record. 'l-le expects to ht himself for the profession of a mechanical engineer at cornell. l'HlCNl-.l.ll'S lf XY:-:i:s'ri':u has a worthy and well-earned record of achievement in all lines of intellectual work. ln spite of the labor which bought him the valedictory of the class he is known as a suc- Ucsslilll ilcliillclj being on three winning teams, and as as writer, as his capture of the D. A. R. prize well proves. lle served a successful term as president of Congress, has taken active interest in the athletics ul' the school. and in Klarch of the present year was sent as the representative of the High School at the Inauguration at Washington. During the past term he has acted as editor-in-chief of the lligh Stllinnl Panorama. which everyone will testify, has been a better paper than ever heretofore. 20

RAY LEWIS-Lewis is a hardworking student and has finished his course in a creditable manner. He is not certain as to what he will pursue in the future, but at present has a position in sight in this city. ALBERT HARDING-Harding is a little man about whom you canit talk. He believes in simply doing things U without saying much. Concerning his future career he is undecided, not knowing whether to accept a position with an insurance company in Buffalo or to enter Cornell University. HENRY ARTHUR CALLIs-The A Second Booker T. Washingtoii U has left a meritorious record of achieve- ment behind him in school studies, in debate and in rhetoricals and has won the hearts of all his class- mates by the earnestness and cheerfulness he has devoted to every task. In Congress he hasbeen a hard worker and a chief figure in the galaxy of public debaters. He is news editor of the Panorama. This fall he hopes to enter Cornell. C Y HENRY KENNETH MEEKER-KGH,S lumbering gait and bland smile might proclaim him a farmer, but he isn't. His lo-ve for the old school is so intense thathe can't bear to tear himself away just yet, so he will return next fall for a post-graduate course in science which is necessary for his future course in civil engineering. But whether he will pursue that course in Hamilton or Syracuse he has not yet been able to decide. . HOWARD R. PARR-HOW3fd is one of those quiet, good-natured fellows who go along doing the work and leaving a good record behind without attracting a whole, lot of attention, whom everybody likes. He was manager of this year's basketball team. He is a member of the A class and left school in the middle of his post-graduate term to accept a good business position in New York, where we believe he will return after Commencement. ROY WINIERED BRADBURY-ROY has been the leading figure in the High School Temperance League, so we deem it most ntting that he should think of entering the ministry after taking a course of arts and music at Syracuse. He was formerly one of the star members of the High School Glee Club and was the leading spirit in the attempted revival this year. His record in debating and rhetoricals has been a worthy one.
