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

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.

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
