“What is a man’s heart given him for, if not to choose.’’ RAYMOND VOGELIN—Voegelin has ever been in great favor among the ladies. Otherwise he has not been prominent in High School. He is entirely satisfied with his present condition—for which We can not blame him—and has no definite plans for the future. “Seek honor first and pleasure lies behind.” LAWRENCE WAITE—Though Lawrence has been in B. C. H. S. for only two years, he has become a power in the school. He has been news editor of the Panorama, president of Congress, and has captured an honor. As editor-in-chief of the Panorama, he has edited “the best chool paper on the market;’’ As chief debater in the Elmira debate, he lost the debate only so far as the decision went. At odd intervals he has served on multitudinous committees. He will deliver a declamation class day and will make the grand finale for his career in the High School by issuing the “biggest and best annual ever!’’ Plans for the future include college, and eventually he will become a lawyer. “Even our sports are dangerous.” READ BROWN—Even as charity covereth a multitude of sins, Read’s plans cover a large area. After two years at Wesleyan, he will further his education by travel and finish at Yale with a course on forestry. He has been secretary and student member of the athletic council and has ruled haughtily the Senior Class. As class day speaker, he will announce words of wisdom to the lower grades. “Arise with the larks—avoid them in the evening.” ORVAL WALES—Wales also has had a checkered career. He was the first President of the eminent Senior class and has been manager of our football team. Expects to attend University of Pennsylvania and is generally conceded to be the masculine beauty of the school. “ ’Tis pleasant sure, to see one’s name in print.” OLIVE AYERS—Olive was very timid in answering questions about future plans. Being encouraged by the assurance that she would not be ‘roasted’, she overcame her diffidence and stated her intention of teaching, after a two years’ course at Oneonta Normal—unless—well, unless she changed her mind. 14

“Physician, heal thyself.” FRANK KNAPP—Has made a splendid President of Congress. Will go to Colgate three years and after that study medicine, though his preference always has been for German and Nellie B. “Oh, sweet Marguerite.” HAROLD LAUDER—Has been reasonably good in school the past four years, but in the future (?) “Of all studies, study your present condition.” CARLETON MARINUS—Resplendent in the glory of fifth honor Marinus will speak at Commencement. He intends to enter Syracuse in the Fall and make a future worthy to be remembered. “A lion among ladies is a most dreadful thing.” HARRY MERRILL—Merrill is a Wilkes-Barre importation. Made a name for himself at the start by attracting the Panorama’s assistant news editor’s attention and getting roasted in the afore-named publication. Will enter Cornell for architectural course and cultivate his designing eye, (for girls). “A wise man will make more opportunities than he finds.” RALPH MOULTHROP—Moulthrop also favors Cornell, though he realizes Syracuse offers golden opportunities. Oh! these Binghamton boys at a co-ed college! “What a singular destiny is that of this remarkable man.” CHARLES RECTOR—Rector has pulled off sixth honor. Has been secretary of Congress and star of German class. He expects to go to Syracuse and after sufficient preparation (travel, study, etc.,) he has the daring ambition to teach German in Binghamton Central High School! “The best security on earth is earth itself.” CLAY SMITH—Smith has made a reputation for himself as a history shark. It inspires respect and admiration, when We learn that he has taken every history which the school affords. “I am not in the roll of common men.” EDWIN TRUESDELL—Although he has not graduated, Truesdell has already been a year at Cornell as he distinguished himself by winning the 1910 scholarship. He will return to Cornell in the Fall to continue his electrical studies. 13

“Nor shares with art the triumph of her eyes.” PAULINE BROWN—Pauline has held several offices in Friday club, has been assistant secretar}’’ of Senior Class and has starred in many successful publics. Her final choice of stage productions will be “East Lynne”. She will spend a year in the library and then attend college for a library course. Of a practical mind, Pauline has taken a splendid preliminary training for this life work, by constant and unremitting use of the rostrum the past term. “Words are like leaves; and where they most abound, “Much fruit of sense beneath is rarely found.” MABEL CASEY-—-After completing a more or less remarkable course in High School, Mable will grace Syracuse with her charming presence and smiles. She anticipates perfecting herself in mathematics or English in the teacher’s course. “We know what we are, but know not what we may be.” EDITH COCKROFT—Four years have brought so tender an attachment for B. C. H. S. that Edith will take a post graduate course for one year. After completing her education by spending two years at Pratt institute she will be fitted in the art of Domestic Science, she hopes to teach little kids how to bake potatoes and sew on buttons. “A quiet maiden sure she is, But very good to look upon.” ANNA COLE—This quiet young lady will wield the rod in a country school, and may later attend Syracuse , if she can be excused from Virgil. Her predominant desire is to master the Calculus! “What’s in a name ?” ARTEMISE CRITTENDEN—For a young lady of such versatility, ’tis hard to limit ourselves to a few brief lines. Of extraodinary rhetorical ability and surpassing range of voice in Glee Club, she has also been an important member of Friday Club, having been an old maid in “Spook Island” and a chorus girl in “Suffragettes for a Day.” Now her last and most remarkable stunt has been the blazoning forth of a “frat pin” which she says belongs to—A MAN! She informs us that she is going to Syracuse to pursue her education (?) 5
