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

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

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
