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

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

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
