WHITNEY Since this is the first year that Prof. Whitney has been the principal of the Binghamton High School, it seems fitting that a little space should be devoted to relating some of the events of his life. Born at Geneva on Seneca Lake, he spent the earlier portion of his school life there before going to Canandaigua Academy where he studied under Noah T. Clark. Best's Preparatory School at Clinton was the scene of his next activities, from which he graduated in '85. Now he entered Hamilton, where he took a classical course. 'He was class treasurer, campus day orator, and one of the Commencement Day speakers, and received the degree of A. B. in '89. He was a member of the Delta Upsilon fraternity and after graduation he took up post graduate work in connection with the college and at Chautauqua, receiving the master's degree in 1892. Prof. Whitney's extensive scientific knowledge may be in part shown by his activity in the various scientific associations of the country. He is a member of the National Geographic Society, of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and of the British Science Association. In 1895, he was one of the founders of the New York State Science Teachers' Asso- ciatiorrin which he has held at different times, practically all the offices. Mr. Whitney has read papers before all these associations, and also before the Academic Principals' Association. Two years ago he read a paper before the National Educa- tional Association at St. Louis, and last year at Asbury Park he was elected one of the officers of this association. He is also president of the New York State Hamilton Alumni Association. From '89 to '90, Mr. Whitney was associate principal of the Academy of Mexico, N. Y. Since then he has been head of the Science Department here at Binghamton, and was made vice-principal in '98. When in 1905, Principal Banta was made Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Whitney was advanced to his present position. . G MARY PATTEN Literary Editor HELEN FULLER Exchange Editor BOARD OF EDITORS C.

We advise her to devote her talents to the latter pursuit-it's much more profitable. LETITIA CALDWELI.-MlSS Caldwell has the honor of heading our list of teachers-to-be, but only because her name begins with a C. She is going to enter the New York Normal next year, where we wish her much success. EDNA CARL-Poor Edna! She says she expects to go to the dogs. We were under the impression that there was only one dog for her. As a preparation for this life, she thinks of taking a kindergarten course at Oswego Normal. ELIZABETH CARRIGG-Although Lil has not decided upon a career as yet, we trust she will devote herself to the cultivation of her charming voice. CJLA CORIZIN-Ola is one of our most popular young ladies. She was news editor of the PANORAMA for two terms, and is the class historian. Many of her admirers, especially the masculine element, will be glad to learn that she is to spend another year in High School before entering Smith. CHARLOTTE DARLING-Here is another of our bright and shining lights. It is the intention of our Arbor Day Poetess to enter Syracuse University, where she will study art and literature. AGNES DORAN-Agnes also has artistic inclinations. She says she will spend a year at home, after which she will perhaps take up designing. H LEoI.A DUTCHER-Leola has been at Cortland Normal the past year. According to current report her talents would have been better employed in assimilating the rudiments of housekeeping. HELEN FUI.LER-A lady of parts is Helen, and one of the mainstays of the PANORAMA Board. After next year she will perfect her violin playing at some music conservatory. . I2 MARION FULLER-Marion's somewhat diminutive stature does not correspond to her gigantic intellect, as is proven by her securing the third honor. We don't doubt but that she will get along all right in the world, although she does not intend to go away to school as yet. FLORENCE GELATT-lVIiss Gelatt enjoys the distinction of taking the prettiest picture in the senior class. She is uncertain as to her future, but we trust the promising ollspring of the house of Paessler will attend to itg at any rate he seems to occupy a large portion of her horizon at present. BESS GOOlJlEI.L-WC have been unable to ascertain concerning the future life of Bess of the beautiful embroidered waists. If anyone knows, we would take it as a great kindness if he informed us. ELSIE HILLIS-ANNA PALMER-Although this list is arranged alphabetically, we find it a physical impossibility to separate the two inseparables, Elsie and Anna. Both are undecided what they will do after graduation, but we assume that their paths will ever run in such mutual peace and concord as has always been their way. MARIE HENNESSY-Marie is universally known and admired for her wit and good nature, as well as for her sweet voice. She especially distinguished herself in the Literary Public both for her singing and in her role of Mr. Brown. Like the majority of our graduates, she is undecided about her life work, but says just now she is looking for a job. i BEATRICE HOGAN-When asked what she expected to do after graduation, Beatrice exclaimed, Why, get mar- ried, of course. However, finding shewas taken in earnest, she hastily informed us that her destination was Cortland Normal. ELSIE KINNEY-Elsie has an idea that she is going to Syracuse, but meanwhile she will take a course in cook- ing. We wonder why. , ' INEZ LooMIs-Inez is one of our quiet, studious girls. She intends to remain at home at present, and try to forget some of the many things she has learned at school. MARY MANGAN-This lass of the gentle voice expects to go to Cortland Normal along with the rest of the bunch. T3 LENA MANNY-Lena's vacant seat will cause many a sigh from masculine admirers, but we are glad to announce that for next year at least she will still receive her old friends at 103 Main Street. PEARL MARKHAM-FOI the past term, tall, bright Pearl has been learning the librarian's trade. We wish her success in her chosen profession. EVA MARSIAI-EVH will stay at home and study elocution, preparatory to entertaining Udin when he comes home for vacation. HELENE MEAGHER-HClCnC possesses a personality which makes itself felt wherever she goes. She is noted for her witty remarks, and for this reason has been chosen Class Prophetess. She has also an artistic bump which she intends to cultivate at Pratt Institute. ANNA MEYER--Miss Meyer deserves to be commended for the earnest and excellent work which she has put forth during ber High School course. It is to be hoped that she will continue her studies elsewhere. CARRIE MOON-Carrie is indeed one of our heavenly bodies, and has attracted much attention during her school career from those who are astronomically inclined. Before shedding her radiant light on Vassar, she has kindly consented to illuminate B. C. H. S. for one more year. FLORENCE O,NEll.-IlHflglDC Florence, the claw infant, grimly wielding the rod of authority over the terrified heads of strapping schoolboys. Yet it is her firm intention to become a teacher, and with this purpose in view she will enter some normal school. ' MARY PATTEN-Everybody knows Mary. She is a girl who is always willing to be useful, and is usually used. For some reason she is considered so reliable and methodical that she is always treasurer of something. We are glad to learn that she will occupy her accustomed CU back seat next year before entering Smith College. MABEL PEER-Miss Peer of the wondrous hair and the happy giggle was actually frightened to think that the plan of her future life was to be made public, and reluctantly confessed that she has intentions of going to Roch- ester and training for a nurse. T4 GRACE REED-Miss Reed is another of those perverse creatures about whom we are unable to learn anything what- soever. We do not doubt that she knows what she is going to do with herself, and perhaps that's suflicient. NIABEL RIDER--llliss Rider is a person for whom the future holds many possibilities. Some day you may read of her training wild beasts and circus managers by the spell of her musical art. As a preparation for this life work, she expects to resume her study of music on leaving school. Ql'oslzl'H1Nl2 ROESCH-Miss Roesch says her destination is the Boston Conservatory of MllSlC. That's a very good destination, Josie, and we trust you will have a good time and won't work too hard. BIESSIE SPAULDING--Now we come to Bess! Did anything funny ever happen which Bess did not see? Was any joke ever cracked which she did not appreciate? No, my readers, no. Where Bess is, there is laughter. ' But alas! she is also noted for her proficiency in ensnaring unsuspecting innocents. Notwithstanding this sad fault, the class is proud to possess a person of such unusual elocutionary abilities, abilities which we trust she will mature in some institution or college. FLORENCE TAFT-lWiss Taft says the time which she doesn't spend in feeding the calves and in chasing the chick- ens she Will devote to the study of the violin. Although we do not wish to influence her employment of her time too strongly, we cannot help but suggest that calves and chickens are of much more importance than violins. i GRACE STODDARD-GFZICC is great, great in mind and great in body. She leaves behind her a glorious trail of honors achieved and glories won. She will spend the remaining years of her life in writing and publishing a book on How to Become Salutatorian in Three Years and a Halff' HARRIIET STILES-Jane is planning to fit herself for a nurse. lf a quiet manner and faithfulness are qualifica- tions for this, we are sure she will be most successful. CLARA STULL--ClZll'Zl has aspirations for kindergartening. She tells us that she is hoping to enter Normal soon. EVA TAYLOR-We are sorry to learn that Miss Taylor is to leave the city. Her future home is to be Elmira. I5 CARLOTTA VVALES-Ah, here comes Carlotta, strong and sturdy, light of heart-and hair, beaming on all about her. Beyond the fact that she is to live with her sister, Mrs. Smith, in New York, we know little of her intentions, but we all unite in wishing her success. GIIABERTA WALLACE-Tl1iS is a name which should head the list. Gilberta enjoys the happy distinction of being the best pupil in the class, in other words, Valedictorian. She adds one more living proof to the fact that girls are smarter than boys. Cortland Normal is to have the honor of developing her talents still further. FRANCES WEISS-FTHUCCS says she is going away to school. She doesn't know where-neither do we. MABEI. VVHIPPLE--Bonny Patty is beloved by others besides Jenkins. Her golden locks or happy dispo- sition or something, have ensnared even our illustrious President. Three times she has been Vice-President of Literary, three times Vice-President of our class, holding besides more secretaryships and such things than We can keep track of. And now she goes to Pratt Institute to learn kindergartening. Some big boys may wish they were little boys again. ETHEL WOOD-Miss Wood likes cooking hot places, and so she intends to go south to some boarding school. She didn't favor us with the name of it, but it is a fortunate school to get one of the class of 1906. EMMA WRIGHT-AlthOLlgh Emma has been with us but a year, we all know that she is a good girl and gets all her lessons-when she has time. She positively refuses to reveal to us her plans for the future, so all we can do is to wish her success in whatever she undertakes. CHARLES LACEY ADKINS-Ch3HCC has made our president head the list of boys, as is fitting. Coming from the position of president of his class at Laurel Avenue, he has continued his successful career at High School, hold- ing the secretaryship twice and the presidency twice of the present senior class. He has especially distin- guished himself in all rhetorical work. At the Trial Contest in 1905 he won second place, and was sent to I6 Syracuse, where he gained first prize. At the Annual Speaking Contest during Commencement Week he also won the first place. This year he carried off Hrst honor at the Declamation Contest given under the aus- pices of the National Woman's Relief Corps, and also at the Animal Preliminary Contest. The age limit prevented his competing in the contest at Syracuse. Truly a prodigy, and dear to other hearts besides Mabel Whipple's. Mr. Adkins intends to take an Arts course at Syracuse, and then to study law at Columbia. FRANK L. BARTCJN-MY. Barton, coming from Union High, has been here but two years, and so has not yet ex- hausted his stock of comical stories. In about a year he expects to enter Cornell to study electrical engineer- ing. Undoubtedly there, as here, the girls will admire his lemon locks. FLOYD BISHOP--MF. Bishop is taking a special course preparatory to entering Lehigh, where he will take an engi- neering course. His work in rhctoricals has been worthy of praise. LOUIS R. BOGART-Bogart has been a good all-round student during his High School course. As an extra he has taken up the study of girls somewhat extensively, and has met with considerable success. He will probably continue this latter study at Cornell, where he will devote his spare time to architecture. ROBERT CLARK--DllTlHQ: his rather extensive High School course Rob has been so fond of solid geometry that he couldn't bear to leave the class. He has always been distinguished in rhetoricals, winning first place at the Preliminary Declamation Contests of both 1904 and '05, He represented the school at the Hamilton Con- test each time, carrying off the first prize in 1905. He is undetermined between Annapolis and Cornell for the scene of his future studies. LYNN EDGECOBIB-MF. Edgecomb has in general been seen and not heard. He has been a good student for the past four years, and his fine scholarship would seem to indicate continuing his studies at college. ALBERT ENGLEBIZRT'-Tl1F0lI,Qh a remarkable and special intervention of Providence, Mr. Englebert still sur- vives his chemical laboratory practice. Although a good student, he will probably not enter college, at least not at present. I7 ARCPIIE J. FANCHER-Mr. Fancher finished his course last February, and has taken no post graduate work. He was always an earnest student and successful in his work. ROBERT FLETCHER-Robert says he knows absolutely nothing about his future. We advise him to continue his studies as a druggist, and then to settle down and marry. CHARLES HAI.SEY LINDSLEY FORD--Cl1ZII'llC has made himself very popular in his role as school jester. He is a good speaker, debater, and actor, his imitations of an inebriate are suspiciously true to nature. Notwithstand- ing his love of fun, he has been a successful student and held several important offices, among them the presi- dency of Congress and the testatorship of the class. Much to the surprise and consternation of his friends, he has declared his intention of becoming a minister. He will go to St. Stephens at Annandale-on-the-Hudson. PERLE 'FRANKLIN-Since his advent two years ago from Utica Free Academy, Mr. Franklin has shown us that the Binghamton youth are not the only Perles in the oyster. His rhetorical, debating, and athletic abili- ties immediately attracted attention, and this year he is chief debater and president of the Debating Club. The success of the recent debate with Elmira was largely due to his efforts. Last fall he was captain of the football team. He is going to Union College to take first an Arts and then a Law course. ARTHUR M. GREENE-Mr. Greene hails from the New Berlin High School, and has been here but a year. This time has been sufficient, nevertheless, to prove him an earnest student and an excellent debater, as well as a good baseball player. At present he is undetermined between Cornell and a year's post graduate work here. BENJAMIN HARRIS-Although Benny's family moved away, the Binghamton girls were so fond of him that they finally persuaded him to finish his course at the High School. He is remarkably proficient in history, yet he intends to study medicine at Amherst. LANVRENCE HAGGERTY-Haggerty has left behind him a good record, especially in athletics. Last year he won the Simpson medal, and has twice been class secretary. According to present indications he will not go away to college. I8 HENRY HEISS- Dutchy is always ready with an answer, usually a wrong one. He is either going to Buffalo or to Philadelphia, and if he makes as good a dentist as chatterer his success is assured. C. ROLAND HUGINS--According to a list kindly furnished by himself, which we believe is correct, C. Roland has held the following offices: fal President of Congress, fbl President of class, fcl President of Athletic Association, fdl Business Manager of PANORAMA for one term, fel Editor-in-Chief of PANORAMA for two terms, ffl Chief Debater in debates of Congress with Afton and Ithaca, fgl Second Speaker in debate with Susquehanna, etc. He has been an excellent student, and has won several honors in speaking and literary con- tests. He has taken a more strictly classical course than is usual nowadays. In fact, the only thing he ' doesn't know is what girl he desires to have his name coupled with, but it is to be hoped he'l1 decide before he goes to Cornell to take an Arts course. LESTER JEWELL-Since Iewell's history is an exact reproduction of Floyd Bishop's, anyone desiring to learn par- ticulars should turn to the latter's. RAYMOND JIEWELL-MT. Jewell has had the difficult task of taking care of the books on the rostrum for the past two years. He goes to Syracuse, where he will probably specialize in architecture. GEORGE H. JUMP-A lively young man and always on the jump. He has shown particular aptitude for practical scientific work, and has run stereopticons and electrical apparatus the past year. He expects to go to Syracuse to take an engineering course. LESTER KALEY-Here's a fellow who can do Many things-sing, speak, dance, draw, compose music and poetry throw the hammer, flirt and eat. He has taken several prizes in declamation contests, and is a prominent member of the Boys' Glee Club and of the High School Quartet. He has been active in athletics and won the hammer throw at Hamilton this year. Lester will study architecture at Syracuse. WILLIAM H. H. KENNEDY--Mr. Kennedy is a fine all-round student, and has made the four-year course in three T9 and a half years. Although he has lately been much interested in the astronomy of the Moon, he intends to go to Yale, where he will take an Arts course. xVILLIAM L. LEWIS-Bill's perpetual grin has been with us but two years, but it has already broken several femi- nine hearts, and bids fair to break some more. We hope his good nature will bring him success in his ,future profession, law. First he will enter the law office of Hinman, Howard Sl Kattell, and then probably go to Syracuse Law School. JOHN MADDEN--Since the shutting down of the lid, Dimples has spent most of his time on the second floor, endeavoring, with the help of Miss Davis, to raise it. He has had the rather unusual honor of belonging to both the Junior and the Senior classes at the same time. He has been good in athletics. Columbia is his future destination. CHARLES J. MANGAN-HCFC,S another creature who has destroyed the peace of mind of many of the gentler sex. His popularity was shown by his election to the class presidency last year. I-Ie will continue his studies and conquests at Hamilton. . WILLIAM E. PATTEN-DCRI' to the heart of Miss Webster is Bill, the mathematical prodigy. Although he has taken all the mathematics that is given, he is coming back next year to take some over again. He has been News Editor of the PANORAMA for two terms, and was one of the founders of the Poster Club, in which he has since been Secretary and Treasurer. He hopes to go to Cornell, where he will take an engineering course, after his P. G. work. EDWARD RONAN-MT. Ronan has been ,employed in a law office the past term, coming to school only for chemistry. Hewill fit himself for his future profession at the Albany Law School. PAUL RYAN-This proficient German translator is quite good in his studies, but his mind works faster than his tongue when he recites. ln a year or so he expects to go to Cornell to take an engineering course. 'THARE SHEFFIELD-Thare has been an excellent student, and cannot tear himself away from the scene of his former activities, and so will take a post-graduate course of one year. After that he is undecided. 20 JOHN P. SWIFT-Jack has been kept pretty busy bearing the blame for his own misdeeds and those of a good many others. He seems to have been more cheerful and energetic since the departure of his sister from the High School. He has entertained everyone, his French teacher especially, by his highly original and eloquent remarks upon all subjects in creation. He goes to Cornell to take an Arts course and then a Law course. RAY T. THOMPSON-Tommy and his curly hair are very popular everywhere. Although not a brilliant student, he always gets through. He was class treasurer for two terms. The science of advertising attracts him, and he will work with Mr. F. Hugh Freeman. REXFORD TITUS-REX has devoted himself to the practice of oratory and love-making. It is just as well, perhaps, for the progress of his studies, that he goes to Hamilton, which is not run on the co-ed plan. , EDWARD VOSBURY-Mr. Vosbury is a good debater, writer, and athlete. He will perhaps go to Annapolis, or, if not there, to some college. ODIN WADLEIGH--Not at all handicapped by his name, Odin has gone successfully through High School, with Evals help. He has been class treasurer, is a member of the School Quartet, a good athlete and writer, and Business Manager of the PANORAMA for one term. He has been remarkably successful in scientific work, and will probably follow up his studies by acourse in electrical engineering at Syracuse. WELLINGTON WALES-LHSI year little Wellington periodically gave the piano congestion of the strings, but leav- ing the piano in pieces, he has this year left us in peace. An engineering course at Union College is his intention. HAROLD VVHITNEY--'TXVO years only has Mr. Whitney been at High School, but his remarkable achievements in this short time have made the rest of us stand around and stare. He has been successful in debate and dec- lamation, was in the Ithaca debate, and was the Arbor Day orator. He is president of Congress and treas- urer of the class. tl-AMES H. WOODSIDE-Mr. Woodside is a hard-Working fellow, and has taken and passed about seven subjects a term. He will attend the New York Veterinary College at Cornell. 2I ,mt 5 .,, L 'WQAAM GIRLS Louise Bache Hazel Bell Florence Bradley Marian Brown Bessie Campbell Anna Caswell Merrietta Chatham Kathryn Clapper Caroline Clinton Laura Derr Anna Donnellan- Elizabeth Ford Grace Garfield Helen Germond Agnes Grace Winifred Hankins Cora Harding Jennie Henderson Jessie Hopton Hazel Inscho Olive Jane Ida Jones Louise Lauder Margaret Lawler Theo Loomis Louise Matthews CHARLES H.

Snyder Harold Underwood VVm. Burton Webster HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1906 Four years since! Years of workand toil, and yet withal the happiest days of our lives. Four years! A long time when we stop to think, but how quickly they have passed. Four years! Can it be? Yes, four years.ago the High School portals swung open and we stood before them gaping with all the awe and suspicion which accom- panies youth when he is about to enter some new sphere, to invade unknown mysteries. Hesitating, fearful, we stood, and then with a leap of joy we sprang within, having at last reached our longed-for goal, High School. Oh, those first few days! Was there ever a place so confusing? Did ever anyone have such a hard time to bc in the right place at the right time? You wandered about lawlessly, trying to find some familiar face, and were wont to innocently invade some tenth grade class in vain search for that algebra room! But days passed, and we became accustomed to High School and High School ways, and then it was we first began to realize its true pleasures and trials. CFor it is not without its trials. Just recall your battle with that first green card and how many times you were sent from class to secure it.j And then, examinations! Oh, the terror of those first High School exams. Those weary hours spent the night before in cramming Latin or Algebra. But they too are gone, and with the anticipation of greater things we mount those winding stairs, Eva and Odin bringing up the rear, and come under the careful watch of Mr. Knox. Then, for the first time did we begin to have a feeling of superiority and look with suppressed merriment upon the pranks of those beneath us, now our beloved juniors. , - For three terms we plodded along here on our tiresome road toward success, the monotony only broken now and then by the visit of a stray dog. Clt is doubtless here that Edna, now our professional dog-trainer, first. re- ceived her practiced And then, the Third Floor! With what eagerness did we make entrance to that longed-for third Hoor. With what joy did we think of being concealed behind those desk covers munching chocolates to our 24 pleasure and to the teacher's annoyance. And the rostrum and those window seats! All thanks be to that wise man who could look into the future and read the needs of the class of nineteen hundred and six and adapt his plans to them, for who has ever made more use than we of the rostrum, of the window seats, and of that arm chair, the wisely selected gift of one of our predecessors-that chair in which the weary philosopher rests his tired body and looks with a significant shake of his hoary head upon those naughty sevens? Then came the summons to that bond of fellowship, that tie which increases class and school spirit, that union which inspires enthusiasm to better and greater things and to more attentive study, the forming of the class as Juniors. In September of nineteen hundred and four the class of nineteen hundred and six was organized, with Charles Mangan officially elected president. Then it is that succes seems near at hand, that victory is already within one's grasp, for there is a double incentive to push one on, a motto to be lived up to, and a class to main- tain and uplift. And then it is also that antagonism arises between Juniors and Seniors. And it did arise. The Seniors of nineteen hundred and five tried to molest us in various ways, such as bribing the weather man for rain the night of our sleighride, and borrowing CI say borrowingj our pumpkins at a most inopportune timeg but despite all these evidences of fraternal affection we gave them, out of the fullness of our hearts, a good jolly dance in the spring of nineteen hundred and five. Then, much to our sorrow, they must needs leave us, and to use the words of their historian, departed, leaving behind them no footprints on the sands of time, but, infinitely better, a sense of peace in our own hearts. For the hour had come, and we were Seniors at last. Seniors! What a something there is in that name which arouses reverence and obeisance to it. What an incen- tive toward something higher. For three years did we travail and were heavy laden, but now at last we had reached the spring of living water, and deep have we drunk of it. Shortly after the foimation of the Junior class, poor innocents, we were one day rather taken by surprise to find that our class book had in a very miraculous way taken wings and flown. Anguish, disgust, and pain seized us for our momentary carelessness, but this only made our joy the greater when Lester, our big man, caught sight 25 of the green and the gold, and amid the shouts of his classmates secured it from its dusty place of concealment. And what a time of rejoicing followed, and how the Juniors, poor youngsters, suffered for it. We left some of them tied to trees, crying in vain for Mamma, And Little Paul! He was borne aloft through Court Street, screeching Help! Murder! Thieves! all to no avail. But Wee Burton! We were kinder to him, we deposited him safely on his front porch, and then phoned mamma to come and release him. To say the least, it was jolly fun, and the Juniors enjoyed CU it immensely. Autumn wore along apace, and there was wafted on the breezes a longing for Kattellville. And long will that eventful day be remembered by both us and our understudies, the Juniors. Young in their station, as Jun- iors, ignorant of the dignity due it, a few members of the Junior class, a great many more of the Sophomores, and a few stray North Siders took it into their heads to visit us at Kattellville and try, if possible, to secure a few provisions, or perhaps tamper with the wagons. Well, they came, and they went home again, but how? Black- eyed, tattered, torn, weary-looking little Juniors, sadder but we hope wiser children. Poor babes! We pity them, we are sorry for themg we have respect for their attempt at class spirit, however preposterous and uncouth it Was, but we do hope that, under our paternal guidance, they will hereafter reckon the consequences before they make any more such rash attempts. About December the first we gave the Senior dance. And what a success it was! All tripped the light fan- tastic toe, even to C. Roland, and he confesses having had the time of his life. And then, Arbor Day! What a day of supremacy for Seniors! What a day of hazardous trickery for Jun- iors! This Arbor Day brought with it no painted class stone, but something for which we must give credit to the Juniors for their originality-a xiolen stoneg that is to'say, some time during the dark night the Juniors had most cleverly had their motto carved upon our stone. It was something new! We must acknowledge that, but poor, sorry Juniors' pocketbooksg they suffered, and they suffered hard, too. We sang our class song, planted the ivy, and then for the Casino and a jolly picnic. With Thare at the bat, John as general overseer of the kitchen, 26 Bennie as head eater, and Jack as chief banana crabber, you can all know time didn't drag. In the evening we were blessed again by the presence of our beloved Juniors, and they confessed having a right good time, and for once we agreed with them. During our career as Seniors there is 'one other thing to be recorded, without which our history would be in- complete-the hospitalityishown by Mr. and Mrs. Whitney. It has been our pleasure to gather at their home and enjoy their friendliness, and as we look back upon our social career in the High School, it will always come to our minds, the remembrance of a most pleasant event. E You have heard a portion of the history of the glorious class of nineteen hundred and six-a history which has been made by our own acts and deeds, the making of which has framed our lives, developed our characters. We are about to enter into a new life, into a new field of labor, and may we be the better able to live life's course in a noble manner, for having worked and studied here together. As we now pass into a new sphere of life, may we ever keep fresh in mind our motto, Nihil sine Labore -nothing without labor-and we will find that, in the future as in the past, victory shall come, however darkly may loom the heavens at first. THE CLASS OF NINETEEN SEVEN He was a wise man who said history repeated itself, but he would have been wiser had he mentioned class historians. High School classes have a faculty of following the precedents of those gone before, much to the dis- comfiture of those much afflicted people who are forced to write them up. It is not so with the class of nineteen seven, however. For, are we not the glorious originators of the High School pin? Did we not Cspeak it softlyj carve our illustrious motto, Lahore et Honore, on the Senior stone, instead of painting it according to long-standing customg and, crowning glory of all, did we not contend bravely, though vainly, in an interclass fight? But our greatest achievement was our class dance, which, as usual, was the best that has ever been given. If sadly wilted collars and ill-treated corns are proof for stacks of fun,', it was present in superabundance. 27 - But in regard to our organization. It was one day in the early part of last fall that the joyful tidings were proclaimed from the desk, The members of the Junior class will meet after school in room 35. Instantly the third floor was in a state of the greatest commotion. Patriotic Juniors hugged one another in delight, and ex- pressions of joy were heard from all sides. Yet alas! When the hour for assembly arrived there came a division of the sheep and goats, and the ill-treated XI-B's fthe sheep, of coursej, were banished to the realms without. Needless to say, this seclusion was not for long. The A's discovered that they were powerless without the aid of their better half, and soon the class assembled, whole and entire, in the sanctified regions dedicated to their use. Then followed the election of officers, and with H Sid Clark as president we planned the winter's campaign. Our first class function was a fudge party held in the Barlow. Strange to say, with the exception of the small inroads made upon them by the Juniors, the eatables remained quite unmolested despite their excellence. In fact, those angelic Seniors ventured no nearer than the street sidewalk, where one glimpse of Professor Whitney sufficed to put them to rout. Oh, nog I forgot that redoubtable hero, Charles H. L. Ford, who succeeded in gain- ing admittance to the scenes of revelry under the protection, not of a flag of truce, but a diminutive Bell. And now we are approaching that magic week which marks the division line between students and gradu- ates, Seniors and Juniors. If commencement week holds in it a tinge of sadness for the class of 1906, for naughty seven it represents the greatest heights of bliss. Yesterday we were Juniors, scorned and ill-treatedg to-day we inscribe after our names the magic word Seniors. Seniors, upper class men, and lords of all we survey, free to shout from the housetops our inspiring slogan: - Rickety fax, rickety mx, If1lf11lbIlU00, kazoo, IYIZIIX.

' The minutes of the last meeting having been read and approved, we adjusted our aprons. Miss Curtis with her much held hand grabbed the sledge, and hammering the red-hot metal, soon surpassed all in sparking. Miss Manny immediately suggested making nothing but horseshoes the entire year, as she wished good luck in captur- ing little Walter Roberson. Miss Kimball's cast-iron belt having been broken, she requested that the gentleman with the strong arm be compelled to mend it. The girls declared that each female in the society should have a vote in all business affairs of the chorus. Many clever speeches were made by the young ladies upholding their cause, but those of the most weight were given by the Misses Veda Allen and Agnes Smith. A committee was appointed to draw up a party platform. The chief plank pertained to the placing of the lid, and through the efforts of Miss Woodburn, was passed by a large majority. Miss Louise Davis, assisted by her faithful quartet consisting of Hakes, Bunnel, Madden, and Stevens, was appointed to hold the lid down. Owing to the large size of the chorus, and the small number of anvils, sev- eral young gentleman and ladies volunteered to share the same places together. Among these were Miss Sweet and Lamb, and the Cora and Clifton combination. Miss Lewis asked if those who did not attend B. C. H. S. could join the chorus, as she wished to have Mr. Worthing become a member. Miss Camilla Smith directed her first attempts to the making of a pair of oar- locks for Mr. Rowe. Lowell Felter was elected to carry coal for the forges, and at this time we desire to thank 31 him for being so faithful to his duty. One of the bellows having been temporarily disabled, Mr Robert Martin, with his superfiuous stock of hot air, volunteered to blow the fire until the necessary repairs were made. When one of the fires had gone out, Donald Northrup and Lucile Spaulding were delegated to relight it, everyone be- lieving that they would make a fine match. But it is with great regret that we lay down our hammers for the summer and turn our whole attention to the chorus motto, First in love, first in work, and first in the hearts of the faculty.

Soon they were christened Pigmiesf' When Senior or Junior strolled about the lower regions presided over by Miss Osgood, instead of saying, Hello, Slimmer, or Hello, Freshy, he would exclaim, Oh, here comes a Pigmyl U However, our wonderful abilities in the direction of scholarship and athletics makes up in full for our small stature. Behold Minot Finch, the High School pitcher of extraordinary ability. He is liked, too, on that side of the house where they giggle, because he has such a nice complexion. Neither the football team, the baseball squad, or the track team is without pigmy representatives Cof augmented sizej. We are proud, also, of Mary Bean, Ben Sisson, and Charlie Rosenthal, who already have achieved honor standingg and Johnnie Clark comes marching in with his gold seal for getting above ninety-five in all regents' subjects. Wheiiever heavy footsteps are heard on the floor above, all look at Fred Ballard, thinking that Beth Earl must be coming. The second Hoor students, indeed, never scorn us, for who could be more attentive to Bessie Macauley than Clifton Bradley? . Everybody wonders if the attraction about Buster Gilbert is his curly hair. School for this term is over Cwails and lamentationj. Keep your eye on the freshmen of 'o6l Already the size of his head has reached untold proportions for a go-cart infant, and before long a corresponding swelling will be noticed in limbs and body. Like a Hercules he will stride the second floor. And some day, perchance, by per- severance and close application, he will attain to that lofty goal on which the Seniors now stand with such proud disdain. ONE OF THE PIGMIES.U 34 OTHER HONORS J.

Soon after Hallowe'en we held a very successful party in Meeker's barn, which was kindly loaned us for the occasion. This affair we called a Country Masquerade, and none except duly enrolled mem- bers of Lit. were invited. Next we joined with the other three societies of the school, and with Mr. Nlintz, and persuaded the Glee Clubs of Hamilton college to give a concert in the Monday Afternoon Club rooms. This was highly enjoyed by an unusually large audience, and a reception was given afterwards for the Hamiltonians. We now felt so wealthy with the 'proceeds of this concert on hand that we immediately proceeded to rack our brains for a wherewithal for disposing of our surplus funds. A Martlia Washington Party was decided upon. Many pretty and becoming costumes were hunted out of forgotten attic chests and again the Barlow school was the scene of merry festivities, nearly all of the girls attending in Colonial attire. The great event of each year, the final public, took place on April 20. This reflected great credit upon the girls who had put hard and earnest work into making the affair a success, as well as upon Miss Pottberg, who drilled them. Q The usual work has been carried on with much more regularity during this year than previously. Although little attention has been given to debating, rarely has a Friday passed, on which a meeting was held, when an interest- ing program has not been prepared for the enjoyment of the members. Visits have also been exchanged with each of the other clubs. That the Literary Society is popular cannot be denied. The most evident proof of this is the fact that only lately it has seemed wise to place a limit to the number of members taken into the club, owing to its rapidly in- creasing membership. Then, too, in spite of precedent, the members of Congress have invited the Literary girls to 40 join with them in a picnic, and at a recent meeting this invitation was accepted. Accordingly, in the near future the two societies will depart for an afternoon and evening of fun at the Casino, as a close to all further hard work and school life until next fall. FRIDAY CLUB Back from the leisurely paths of vacation to the humdrum ways of school we turned our dragging feet. With the beginning of school work our club also renewed its activity. On the eighth of September we held our first meeting of the new term. After conferring with Miss Normile and Miss Badger, we decided to study familiar authors. Many times we have had extemporaneous programs and debates on other topics, but our spe- cial work was along this line, and it has been a source of much pleasure and instruction to all of us. On the Friday night before Hallowe'en we had a glorious party in the Barlow School. Ghostly figures tripped the light fantastic toe to the accompaniment of a fiddle. Great pans of doughnuts and that dear little fat keg of cider added not alittle to our pleasure. The four High School clubs united in arranging for and enjoying the Hamilton Glee Club concert. In the latter part of February we began to talk publicf' After a few weeks we all thought public, then by April we walked, slept, and almost ate public. And then on the 27th of April .we had the public, and I'm sure it was with all our interest in it. The Flight' of' the Sun Goddess H gave us a delightful glimpse of life in old Japan. And now it is getting sticky hot again. It is getting examination and then vacation time. So we will gladly leave the old school until another autumn, when we will take up our club work again with renewed life and interest. 41 HARol.D XVIIITNEY l're.vitln1zt AR'rnUR M.

While we have been victorious in a contest with an outside High School, we have paid far greater attention than ever before to the weekly debates, believing that in these is the foundation of a good debating club, and the chief source of benefit to its members. The fall session opened with Charles H. L. Ford in the chair. The first event was the twelfth annual ban- quet, held at the Hotel Bennett on New Year's night. After we had partaken of an excellent dinner, Ernest Ingraham, as toastmaster, called upon seven of the members for remarks. Prof. Whitney, Prof. Jones and Prof. Mintz were among the invited guests, but owing to various reasons only Principal Whitney was able to attend. Short addresses were also made by several of the honorary members. On January 5 the first Congress debating team, consisting of C. Roland Hugins, chief debaterg Charles H. L. Ford and Harold Whitney, journeyed northward to try their skill against the Ithaca High School Congress. Binghamton upheld the affirmative of the question, Resolved, That a protective tariff exerts a favorable infiuence upon the general level of wages of American workingmenf' Needless to say, the Congress team, by its masterful argument and powerful delivery, received the decision, and, assisted by Prof. Whitney, Prof. lVIintz, and 'a num- her of B. Cf H. S. graduates at Cornell, gave the school yell, thoroughly convincing the audience that Binghamton students are possessed of good lungs. Several Binghamton students accompanied the team to Ithaca, and during their stay there were royally entertained by their opponents, whom we hope to repay in the near future, when they hold a return debate in Binghamton. The voting for the spring term resulted in the election of Harold Whitney for president. Although the debate committee faithfully endeavored to arrange for an out of town debate, their efforts were of no avail. De- 44 posit, refusing to debate a second team, finally withdrew, Towanda and Walton, for various reasons, at the last moment declined. We have held several enjoyable sessions with the Friday Club, and on one occasion were visited by four young ladies from the Literary Society. Before commencement We hope to hold a picnic at the Casino in company with the Lits., and thus conclude one of the most successful years that Congress has ever enjoyed. DEBATING CLUB In the past year in the Debating Club much has been accomplished. Our membership has been increased from some forty to sixty membersg various improvements have been made in the supplies of the Club. The debates have been exceptionally good, and every one has seemingly done his best. As a result we have had developed among us several excellent debaters. All the offices have been well filled, the work of Presidents Franklin and Clark and of Chairman Sheffield of the Perspective Committee has been exceptionally good. The treasurer and secretary both have completed their work and given their final reports. During the year we have endeavored to have present a larger number of mem- bers at the regular meetings than ever before. To this end we have endeavored to have debates upon live topics of the day. The season was started with a good debate upon the subject of Football, and ended with a contest with the Elmira Free Academy Debating Club, in which we were victorious. Altogether this year in the Debating Club has been one of the most prosperous that it has ever experienced. It is now proposed to conclude this year's club with a picnic, which will furnish a very suitable social conclusion to a year's good strengthening Work, and it is hoped that next year the debaters will live up as fully as they have this year to their motto, Cultivate the Art of Reasoning. 45 v x T OFFICERS PERL12 FRANKLIN l'rv:idz'11l Enwmm Vosnuiw Vi fc-l'1'c.r11!e11l R.-im-n II.

Remembering that here was the home of the prophetess Sibyl, of whom we had read in Virgil, I determined to visit her. I entered the cave and beheld her reclining at the farther end. A strange, rustling sound filled the cavern, and on looking around I found the fioor covered with wind-blown leaves. Picking one leaf up, I discovered that it contained a prediction concern- ing one of the members of that renowned and famous class-1906. lVIost appropriately it pertained to our presi- dent, Lacey Adkins, and Mabel Whipple. According to the witch of Cumzea, Lacey will be the inventor of the first and only successful air ship ever produced. He will display his great .oratorical ability by reciting beneath lX'Iabel's window, Come, Take a Trip in IVIy Air Ship. Mabel, of course will consent, and, side by side, forgetful of all else except their own happiness, they will sail away, as two of the fairest stars in all the heavens. ' Pleased to learn of such happiness of two of our members, I picked up another leaf, and was truly delighted to learn of such a charitable career for Marie Hennessey. lX'Iarie's future life will be spent in going the rounds of the poor people, ever admonishing them to be of good cheer, never to despond, to always have a fire in the stove, food in the pantry, to feed well, grow fat and be merry. Because of her great charitable work she will be known as The Angel of the Slums. l 48 .XA Mgt? n.s.r-C- WP WB' I . . tu 'I g WJ ,Q Q I 1- ..- fr- t, ti' fifiliif L, '4 H .J -J '. 5. --I if fi - :Ill fffif.

Another leaf was waftcd into my hand, and thereon I read the career of two of our most able classmates- Odin Wadleigh, who will become an electrical engineer, and George Jump, a civil engineer. These two young men will conceive the means of constructing a tunnel beneath the Atlantic Ocean, and with their characteristic energy they will complete the task. On the first trip through the tunnel, in order to investigate a slight defect, Odin and George will alight from the train, which will go on, leaving them in the midst of this unknown subma- rine passage. Alas! that this should be. But on their tombstones shall be inscribed: The good die young. But what is written on those large leaves at my feet? Can it be those brilliant gold letters spell the names of my classmates? Let me read the prophecy. i Eva Marsh will pursue a course in mathematics to enable her to assist Odin as an electrical engineer. Her work in this line will not be required long, but nevertheless she will continue it as a memorial of what might have been. i Letitia Caldwell and Inez Loomis, two timid little dears, will bravely take a bold step in life and enter upon a campaign of mighty conquests. These two girls will always be successful as was their wont in High School days. Charles Halsey Lindsley Ford is to become an Episcopal clergyman.

A Miss Leola Dutcher, Miss Mabel Rider, and Miss Bess Goodell will organize The Amalgamated Association of Emancipated Females. With their able assistants, Anna Palmer, Frances VVeiss, and Elsie Hillis, they will es- tablish in every city, town and village a party devoted to the propagation and dissemination of their theories in regard to the political rights of women. ' John Madden will conduct a fashionable dancing school for ladies. No gentlemen need apply. As John, in his fascinating manner, will be able to dance with only one at a time, he will smile upon the rest. Elsie Kinney's time will be spent in one long, lingering stroll through life, ever beckoning with her sweet smile the' poor, unsophisticated youths who chance to bein her path. On picking up the next leaf I was astounded hy reading the prophecy of Thare Sheffield. Thare is going to become a bold, had man, and will be seen at every country fair sitting in a cage with a sign above his head, which will read: The lVIan Who Eats. Roland Hugins will become a great politician, with Lena hflanny ever by his side to wipe his glasses and to keep him in the straight and narrow path. 50 I 5 MRTIC BASF- r,i V 7' Lg-tg, A,if,5o4IATI0N TEM? y X V ' l -F- vff- :+L E E if if f' Lf 4' fill a if fki, M fi'lf7l mJiif'ilWl-fl GET IN LINE! Florence Taft is goingto remain at home with her mamma, and help to gather the eggs and drive the cows, ever wearing her sweet smile. i Now, all young girls will have their romances, and Florence Gelett will be no exception. At the age of forty-five Florence will fall in love with a charming Zulu chief, who will carry her away to his castle on the Nile, where she will become queen of the Zulus and wear a ring in her nose. Ray Thompson is to become a practical young merchant, very innocent, with a tender skin and sensitive nerves, and much given to superstition. Next I read the prophecy of Helen Fuller. Like another Helen she will not fire Troy, but she will be greatly loved. Her time will be spent in writing poetry, and she will become world famous as a poetess and composer. Arthur Green will begin life early, and by dint of push, perseverance, and a strong pull, he will rise to the honorable and lofty position of a policeman. Anna Myers will take a course to enable her to become a trained nurse, and with her gentle tread and swift revolving brain, Anna will go through life ministering unto the sick and needy, and with her little Dutch book under her arm.

Ned Vosbury will take life easy in the future, as he has in the past, with Helen Doyle ever present to wake him from his frequent slumbers. The next prophecy brought me untold pleasure to think of such a famous class. Some future day a grand opera troupe will reach Binghamton, which will be composed of only members of this able class. The cast will include Miss Florence O'Neill, as leading lady, who will receive unlimited applause by reciting these lines: Fly, Hy, fair oneg Hy with me to realms where man is not. The dashing young hero will be Rob Clark. Floyd Bishop as Romeo, and Agnes Doran as Juliet, will be seen at each performance in the balcony scene of the Shake- spearean play. One of the greatest attractions of this opera will be Miss Josie Roesch, who at each performance will ascend to the realms above as Little Eva. This great opera troupe will travel abroad with Bess Spaulding as soubrette, under the management of a certain Mr. John Clark. Between the acts of this play Edna Carl will appear as Mademoiselle Carl, presenting the stunts of her little dog Snyder.

Sadie Anson is to be a famous author. Many of her best works will have the seed of their plot in Sadie's many pranks in B. C. H. C. Her best production will be entitled Stories as Told in Chemistry Class, by the Author. ' Because of the roving disposition and changeable mind of Louis Bogart, it would be impossible to prophesy anything definite concerning him, but we hope that in the end he will make his choice in favor of one of the Graces. Albert Englebert and Henry Heiss will secure a large fortune by discovering a remedy which will be re- nowned as a sure cure for that ambitious feeling. Elizabeth Carrigg will become a famous grand opera singer, and we will all be proud to remember her as our classmate. Elizabeth will not only aspire to praise and sclffglorification, but she will go smilingly through the world, and with her fascinating manner will bring many admirers to her feet from all sides of the world, espe- cially the North Side. Rex Titus, accustomed to his usual daily walk up the warpath to the desk, will become a great general. We are sure that Rex will always look as neat and pretty as he did in school, because he will have a Taylor ever ready to keep his uniform in repair.

She has not yet decided between Barnum's and Sautelle's, but she will daily display her courage and bravery, appearing in the animals' den, training the Lyon. Pearle Franklin will step forth from the High School portals with his usual air of authority, and in the com- ing years we will see him standing on the street corners giving away huge chunks of wisdom with every package of tooth powder and bottle of soothing syrup sold. The next leaf I read concerned Gilberta Wallace, our studious valedictorian. True to the habits of her youth, she will ever strive to attain universal knowledge, and after sounding the depths of ' Chemistry, biology, Mechanics, mathematics and Psychology, she will turn her attention to the general art of cooking. A small leaf then told me that Benny Harris's journey through life would be one continual Race. llflary Mangan will establish a private school for little lads and lassies, and will display her great supply of knowledge. Her one aim in this work will be to have the children speak' loudly and distinctly. 54 'Q , ,-- -w -v ' - fin mnqmoiiunts - NJ? a..,j,, -' p ff4d7'i'5.f ' V , W. s lm ' WE ARE MARCHING TO GLORY!

In future years we will find Ilflabel Peer the same jolly person, wearing her huge smile, and living contentedly with her green parrot and her tabby cat-a venerable old maid. Eva Taylor will go abroad to fit herself for a milliner. After spending several years in Parisi, she will return as lVIadam De Tayloria, and will establish a flourishing millinery department in that modern metropolis of Hooper. - - Two more famous young men will step forth from this class-Lester Kaley and VVill Patten. These two young men will become great artists, and together will invent a drawing pencil which will draw anything from a High School poster to a load of hay. Lester's ability in speaking will also draw a crowd. Their great gift and talent will secure for them endless praise and honors. Full of her earthly dignity, Emma Wright will slowly climb the ladder of fame, and will become a stern, revere literary critic. Grace Stoddard and lVIarion Fuller will together go through life in their characteristic manner of quiet soli- tude, with a companion by their side to help them carry the honors they will continue to win.

From then on he willrlive only to break maidens' hearts. In future years to come we will one day behold one of our most prominent members, Jack Swift, ship- wrecked on a desert island. But Jack's scheming head will devise some plan by which he will be able to reach safety, for if the current is too Swift to swim across, Jack will Ford it over. With her good-natured countenance and her ever present smile, Carlotta Wales will never become serious enough to accomplish any great deeds, but will go through life simply doin' things. Jane Stiles, with her untold wisdomg Charlotte Darling, with her ever ready wit and sense of humor, and Clara Stull, with her delightful giggle, will found a home for friendless dogs and feeble-minded cats. The remaining leaves rustled to my feet, and on them I read concerning Carrie Moon and William Ken- nedy.

Grace Reed will ever be the same Winsome lassie, and numberless years having passed over her head in vain, we will find her in the future surrounded by as many admirers as she had in the past. A small withered leaf told me of a great discovery to be made. Generally we find pearls in the sea, but some future day we will discover a beautiful Pearl seated by the Woodside. In the years to come we still find Paul Ryan at his same old employment-looking for work. -A small leaf then mentioned the names of Lester and Raymond Jewell. May these two precious jewels always glitter and be as brilliant in the future as they were in the past. Only one leaf was left-small but important. It prophesied as to thc career of Charley Mangan and Ola Corbin. Charley's journey in life will be unhappy, because of those other naughty boys who just will Butt-in, But his personal charms will surpass all others, and he will come out victorious, with a wealth of laurels on his head and with Ola as his reward. I had read them all. With a long-drawn, deep-felt sigh, I turned and left the mysterious cave-a wiser, albeit not a sadder woman, to think that the prophecy of the class of 1906 had been revealed to me-its most un- worthy member.

This year some of the girls, under the direction of hflr. Hoerrner, have succeeded in forming a prosperous club. At present there are twenty-six members. The club meets every Monday at the First Congregational choir rooms from four until five. The club sang several selections for the preliminary speaking contest, May 3, and is now preparing for a Hnal concert to be given Monday, June 18. This concert is to show the talent we have in the club, and also to show the advance we have made. vhlr. Hoerrner has been more than generous in giving up his time to the interests of the glee club. BOYS' GLEE CLUB ' The Boys' Glee Club started last fall with a membership of about fifteen, and although we gave no public 59 entertainments, we did some very beneficialwork. At Christmas time, owing to the amount of other work being done by the members, it was thought best to postpone rehearsals until spring. In May we came together again, and are making fine progress. The majority of the members are to be in school next year, and there is every reason for a fine and prosper- ous club in the fall. The membership now is as follows: First tenor, Adkins, Cook, Bogartg second tenor, Ford, Abbot, Rowe, first bass, Franklin, Kaley, Lambg second bass, Wadleigh, Parsons, Harris. . RHETORICALS This year, although we have had no series of victories like those of last year, has been an extremely success- ful one in rhctoricals. Mr. Mintz has kept always before him the real object of rhetorical work in a High School: To enable the student to express himself in good plain English, to face an audience at any time and under any circumstances. No attempt has been made to train actors or mere declaimersg the work has been directed towards making public sfufrzkmw. Besides this, the attempt has been made to so teach rhetoricals that the student is helped in other ways-in making recitations in class, and in debates. The results of the year's debates show clearly what High School can do along that line. Besides the regular work there have been several interesting contests this spring. The first of these was a dec- lamation contest given under the auspices of the National Women's Relief Corps, on Marcll 22, 1906. Six young men competed, and first place was secured by C. Lacey Adkins, with A Vision of the Past. Lester Kaley won second place, and C. Roland Hugins third. The contestants, without exception, showed the result of their good training and hard work. Next came the Fifth Annual Preliminary Declamation Contest, held for the purpose of choosing a represent- ative to go to Syracuse. Mr. Adkins again won first honors, but was debarred by the age limit from going to 60 Syracuse. Frederick Seward was awarded second place, Lester Kaley third, and Harold Whitney fourth. Mr Seward went to Syracuse on May 7, and although he did not win a place, he represented B. C. H. S. with honor The speaking contest of Commencement Week will be the last of the year, and will finish a period of suc- cessful work. In this contest the girls ofthe school will have an opportunity to show what they can do in recita tion, as five young men and five young ladies are to compete. B. C. H. S.

To celebrate this day in a fitting manner is our purpose. To leave here some lasting memorial of our observance of the day is also our intention. Surely we may congratulate ourselves upon the fortunate occasion for which we are this day assembled. Not only are we still a part of the High School, partakers of its pleasures and advantages, but now we can look forward to only a few brief weeks of study ere we shall have graduated and become Alumni of the Binghamton Central High. Under the sod and the dew, far from the din and turmoil of life, we lay at rest the ashes of the unhappy Dido whose funeral oration was lately delivered by the class chaplain, Mr. Ford. The book of the exchequer, on the front page of which is inscribed, in gilded letters, the old maxim, Uneasy lies the head Whose owner owes his class, will here enjoy a much needed rest. Benny's penny makes a fitting companion for this volume. All these constitute the records of our existence as a class. At this season of the year a stone is set apart for the class which is about to graduate. The front wall has already yielded four to the classes which have preceded us. To-day it grants its last to bear upon its smoothen surface the name and motto of the most illustrious of them all-the Class of Nineteen Six. Those passing daily to and fro will see this last addition to the High School, and will as often be reminded that the Classlof 1906 has left this as a monument to its observance of Arbor Day. Fear not, graven memento, that the shades of night may darken thy countenance from fairest Caucasian to darkest Ethiopian. Fear not that morn may reveal thee cloaked in the garb of mourning. Strong hearts shall wax courageous in thy defense. Strong hands shall protect thee from such disgrace. . As a more fitting remembrance of our class we plant to-day the historic ivy beneath our class stone. This 62 solid rock, standing firm and immovable through years to come, shall remain unchanged, unyielding as the native earth itself. Again and again it will successfully resist the assaults of the elements and their armed battalions, and by so doing will ever show more clearly the constant and lasting stability of our class and our steady loyalty in the future. The ivy we plant to-day will express still more completely the sentiments which actuate us here. This plant, from its humble, almost precarious beginning, nourished by the parent earth, by the warm rays of the delightful spring and summer sunshine, and the gentle showers sent from above by the Omnipotent, will from year to year grow larger, and each spring renew its foliage of green, but though it tower ever higher toward the skies and advance farther and farther from its lowly origin, c'en so much the more fondly will its tendrils ever cling to the walls of the High School. So the Class of 1906, though its members be scattered to the four quarters of the earth, and their thoughts be turned to the achievement of success, still, like the ivy, the memory of High School days will ever be green in the hearts of all. 'Whether the bright sun of prosperity smile upon us or the storms of adversity from time to time remind us thatfwe can only better appreciate the good after a taste of the badg through it all our thoughts will ever wander back to the happy hours and pleasant associations of the days spent at the Binghamton High School. ' Classmates, our day at the old school is nearly done. The time to say farewell is near at hand. It is well to pause and consider. During the past four years we have continually striven to place the standard of our work high above all who have preceded us, and leave a shining example for those who are to follow. Our past history has been so carefully prepared that in the future each and every one may look back and say, with a feeling of pride, I was a member of the Class of IQO6.H But remember all this has been accomplished under the motto, Nihil Sine Lahore. When in years to come doubts and dangers assail us, when obstacles seeming insurmountable op- pose our course, when the cold iron hand of Failure threatens to grasp us, we will think of the Open Sesame of Nihil Sine Labore, and by unwearied, unwavering, unremitting toil' the future shall grant us the success which the past has been unable to refuse. ' 63 CLASS DAY POEM I I I I We entered upon life in all her splendor, We were new to the ways of the toilsome world, Our hopes were high and our hearts were strongg We came' from a land of fancy and dreams, We felt toward our fellow-men a love so tender, Our life, in its simplicity, was all unfurled, That in them we saw no wrong. A pure and bright sunbeam. I I I V We knew not how fate would lead us, nor whitherg We dreamed of wealth, of honors past all counting, Sailing on 1ife's seas, by her winds blown, Of Success approved by all mankindg We cared not, nothing our high aims could wither- Step by step on fame's ladder ever mounting, Journeying to the unknown. Others left far behind. V Alas! we were but dreaming, tenderly dreaming. For us life held neither glory nor fameg We have fought for wealth, for success, well seeming, But all in vain, in vain. 54 VI VII Year after year our minds are slipping, No thought came to us that ever is God's will done Day after day to the depths of woe, That in obeying his decree And into our hearts despair is dipping, All the lands, all the seas beneath the sun No hope here below. As one they all agree. A V I I I I X We quite forgot that each one upon the earth As we grow old, dim hope before us hovers, Has some duty to perform, that none That our lives were not lived all in vain, May enter the gates of death as those of birth- As gently as the caresses of lovers Thus the Holy Will is done. From our hearts fled all pain. X Though cherishing the ambitions of our youth, long past, This is the creed of our older mind: If we live pure lives we will die at last Honored by all mankind. 65 OLD QUOTATIONS WITH NEW IMPORTS MISS WOODBURN- Fixed was her look and stern her air.

The work was started early in the spring, and in six weeks the veterans, Capt. Cook and Mgr. Haggerty, had succeeded in getting the men into fine shape. 69 On May I4 we sent a team of eight men to represent us at the interscholastic meet at Hamilton College. We had a most exciting time there, for we lost the championship banner to Batavia by just one point. The best work was done by Lawrence Haggerty, who, ten minutes after winning the mile, entered the two-mile run and secured second place. Parsons won the 440-yard dash easily, and took second place in the broad jump. Kaley won the hammer throw, making the excellent record of I I3 feet IO inches. Stuart came in second in the half-mile, and Doc. Hand, with almost no practice, threw thirty-seven feet in the shot put, winning second place. Captain Cook got third place in the pole vault, and E. Madden and Baldwin just missed winning places in the two-mile run and the high jump. At the end of the contest we had secured a total of 28 points, but alas! Batavia had won 29 points. When it is taken into consideration that many of our opposing teams had training quarters and coaches while we have neither, it can be realized how well our men did. The annual field day was held on june 1. Lawrence Haggerty broke the school record for the two-mile run, his time being 10:58. Doc. Hand equalled the shot put record of 37 feet IO inches, and it is expected that next year he will do 40 feet. Parsons won a majority of the events, and was awarded the beautiful 'Simpson medal which is given to the best all-around athlete. One of the most exciting features of the day was the Public School relay race, which was won by Robinson Street Schoolp This has become one of the best events of field day, and attracts much attention from the ward schools. . i Perhaps the best feature of this year's track work is the fact that so many promising men have been developed, men of the YO7, '08 and '09 classes, who will be with the school next year. With men like Parsons, Hand, Stuart, Baldwin, Bradley and Madden to start on, and with the interest and the good financial support that has been given to athletics this spring, next year's team should equal the brilliant record made by the victorious track team of 1906.

Long and hard toiled they, all anxious to go on the Elmira trip. Although hampered by stormy weather and wet grounds, nevertheless they whipped themselves into shape, so that on April 2I Elmira Free Academy bowed before the blue and white and acknowledged themselves defeated by a score of 4 to I. On April 28, Norwich High School team journeyed here to beat us, but alas! they went back to Norwich with but three runs to their credit, while we stayed home with seventeen. The management experienced quite a little difficulty in getting a good schedule. At the last minute Ithaca High School cancelled their two games for May I9 and 20, and thus the team was left without a game from April 28 to May 30. On May 30 we rode up the D. Sc H. to Sidney, and after playing ten innings we were defeated fwith the aid of the umpire, by a score of 5 to 6. Three of our best men were out of the game, but the new men played well, and had the umpire given just decisions we would have won. On June 2 B. C. H. S. went to Norwich, and on a very rough diamond, in a very ragged game, we came away victors by a score of IO to 8. June 9 we expect to go to Owego, and on June I6 we expect to go to Greene, and it is safe to say that we will easily be the' victors. Games with Oneonta and Sidney are also under consideration. The men have all shown up well. Especial mention should be made of Finch, who many times has pulled us to victory by his excellent pitching, Hitchcock, our little first basemang Cap'n Bob, and Bud Hait. Tommy Lake should not be forgotten. Greene has caught an excellent game, and Barker has played finely at second base. Too much cannot be said in praise of all the men. 74 The team desires to thank the Athletic Association for its excellent equipment, which has naturally aided the players. The positions and those who played them are as follows: Pitchers, Lake and Finch, catchers, Greene and Copelandg first base, Hitchcockg second base, Barker and Rileyg shortstop, Hait, third base, McMahon, left field, Bowen, right field, Ryan, Bone and Copeland, center field, Lake. The school has every reason to be proud of the team, and surely next year it is hoped that the team will sus- tain the reputation and keep the blue and white on the same high pedestal upon which the team of IQO6 has set them. CHAS. H. L. FORD, Manager. FOOTBALL The '05 football season was one of those freakish periods that invariably punctuate the athletic history of every school. Things started off with a dash and enthusiasm that augured well for success. The largest squad in years reported regularly on the field for practice. Without a sigh, nay, even eagerly, the student body' dug down into their pocketbooks for mouldy sheckels to clothe our pigskin warriors in padded armor. Our boys labored mightily on the gridiron, but the demon of hard luck held the score card and crayon. The evil spirit set its mark on every player, Church still wears court plaster 'neath his eyeg have you heard of Copeland's adventure in the tunnel, or what happened to Hait's suit case at Sidney? Well-the fellows played fast, snappy football, but in spite of the cusses of Coach Cannon and the railings of Captain Franklin, they forgot to keep up their studies, and the scrubs had to fill the ranks depleted by Prof. Whitney's pencil. But although the score total sums up against us, we have the satisfaction of knowing that our team was a clean one, that no ringer brought us 75 undeserved laurels, and that every defeat was an honorable one. The eleven fought pluckily against odds for the Blue and White, and deserve the thanks of the whole school. On September 26 the team played an exhibition game at the fair with the Athletics, a team composed mostly of old High School players. The odds were against us, but the match was sternly contested from start to finish. lWclVIahon's splendid tackles and Beefy Parsons' speedy plunges saved us many times, the final score being 10-0 in favor of the Athletics. On October 7 the football team journeyed to Walton and lined up against the Walton High School giants. Our eleven held the Walton team, which is practically the same team that defeated us I7-II last year, to a final score of O-0. In the evening the fellows worked off the effects of the game at a dance given at the Armory in their honor by the Walton High School. On Saturday, October 14, the Blue and White struggled with their old rivals, the Elmira Free Academy, on the Maple Avenue Park gridiron. The game was close and exciting, but from the beginning luck was against them. Church, playing right half, received injuries at the very beginning of the game, which necessitated his being taken out. The first half ended without either side scoring, but the second half is a sad story. Elmira re- cruited herself with fresh men and smashed through twice for touchdowns, making the score II-O. But when the whistle blew our fellows were still full of fight, and so confident were they that they could wallop the Elmira- ites if given a fair show and an impartial referee, that efforts were made to arrange a return game. But for cer- tain reasons Elmira thought it best not to appear in Binghamton, so the arrangements fell through. The team defeated the burly Brandywine eleven on October 18, I5-O. Our line was as a stone wall against the attacks of their opponents, and the score would have been larger but for the shortness of time. October 21--After a stern lecture from Dr. Cannon and a dose of Cascarets all around, the squad boarded the train for Scranton and defeated the coal miners to the tune of 6-0. Vosbury distinguished himself by his splendid line bucking, Hait was a marvel on end-in fact, the whole bunch showed up in fine form. The ball 76 see-sawed up and down the field, in the first half, with equal honors to each team. In the second half Bingham- ton twice swept down the field almost to Scranton's goal, only to have the gain snatched away by HamiIton's- the right halfback on the opposing team--splended punting. Finally, however, Vortigern executed a successful end run and McMahon kicked the goal. Too confident from this well-earned victory, lVIanager llflangan imported the Cascadilla eleven on Octo- ber 28. It is a mournful tale, and is best told in a few words. The student body filled the old grandstand to over- flowing, and raised the rafters with lusty cheering. Our boys completely outplayed their opponents, but the supe- rior beef of the Ithacans finally won out, as it always does. Four times the brawny Cascadillans pushed over the goal line for touchdowns, scoring 24-O. This game ended the season, which, though we cannot gloat and brag over a big score, we can justly boast of a clean, honest team, that was defeated only because it met its superiors and seldom its equals. Following is the general line-up of the team, showing all changes made and the positions played by substitutes: . - R. E., Hait, A. Green, R. T., Vosbury, Lake, R. G., Hitchcock, Franklin, C. Gross, Copeland, L. G., Franklin fCapt.J, Meeker, Lincoln, L. T., Meeker, Franklin, Lincoln, Gross, D. Parsons, L. E., Vortigern, Harris, D. Parsons, J. Madden, L. H., F. Parsons, Church, F.

Darling Helen Johnson William E, Patten Robert WV. Taylor In this, the first complete year of the High School Poster Club, we think that we have shown how useful such an organization can be. Whenever possible, posters have been made to advertise any debate, contest, or exhibition occurring at the High School. In addition, we tried to keep the students reminded of the fact that High School really had excellent football and baseball teams. The club was organized so late last year that it was impossible to have a formal membership. But this year we thought it necessary to put the Poster Club upon somewhat the same basis as the other High School organiza- tions. And so we had a constitution drawn up, adopted some by-laws, and in other ways grew into a regular club. The regular meeting of the Poster Club is on Monday afternoon. Weekly the members come together to work at some previously determined branch of art. This year it has been almost exclusively pose-drawing- one of the most difficult and at the same time most useful varieties of drawing. What we hope was the first of a long series of exhibitions was held in the drawing room in May. Here the club gave the students an opportunity to see what its members had been doing in designing. Despite the fact that some of the posters made during the year were unavoidably detained at home by the persons who had made away with them, the exhibition was a real success, and was one of which its makers may well feel proud. 78 SENIOR CLASS PRESIDENTS We believe it will interest the readers of the Panorama to see a list of former Senior Class lresidents, 'Is so many of them have since become prominent men of the city.

WARD-CARR1NoToN Much commotion has been aroused in fashionable cir- cles by the marriage of Miss Sallie Ward of this city to Mr. Jack Carrington of Brooklyn. Miss Ward was a well-known student in the High School, while Mr. Car- rington is a graduate of Yale of the class of 1905. The ceremony is said to have taken place abroad and to have been celebrated with much pomp and splendor. The Rostrum parties held during the term have been unusually successful. Some of the most largely attended were those given by the Misses Munroe, Woodburn, Cor- bin, Pratt, Matthews, and Waite. It is said that Miss Bessie Ford is soon to put out the sign, Standing Room Only. A Sl-IOCKING ACCIDENT A terrible casualty is said to have transpired the other evening, when Louise, eldest daughter of the house of Bache, unable toisee in the darkness, actually spoke to a man! Although the young lady's nerves have suffered a great shock through this sad occurrence, it is thought that she will recover with careful treatment. WELL ! WELL ! WELL !
