“All women are ambitious naturally.” NINA DeMELL—As Treasurer of Literary Club, Nina kept the money safely for three terms and then became the honored President for one term. She will prepare for a stenographer at Lowell’s Business School, and then—the usual thing. “Nothing certain but uncertainty.” JOSEPHINE DEYO—Josephine is our class day historian. She has held the position of Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer of Friday Club, and has also been Vice-President of Senior Class. She states very firmly that she will not go to Syracuse but will teach in a country school located near—Well she has forgotten just where it is located. Anyway she’s going to teach awhile and see how she likes it. “Maidens, like moths, are ever caught by glare.” BETH EARL—This gay butterfly has fluttered through a six years’ course in school. She has been Vice-President of Senior Class, Assistant Secretary and has held an important official position on all dance committees. “After graduation” (with a long sigh), she Will merely “stay at home.” Rumor has it that she intends to learn how to make marshmallow pudding for—but the responsibility of selecting one name from so many is too much. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” GERTRUDE EVANS—Gertie has been Treasurer of the Senior Class and a sort of guardian to Edward. Volunteered that her favorite flower Was the Rose, but her ‘career’, if you please, is yet to be formed. She will stay at home and help mother until the right man comes along. (She doesn’t expect a long stay with mother.) “You can never plan the future by the past.” MAY FLYNN—Cortland Normal will be the scene of her future endeavor—and unless Fate or Cupid intervenes-—-as usually happens—she will teach school. “I care for nobody, no not I, if nobody cares for me.” MARGUERITE GERMOND—Is another who cannot tear herself away—she will take a P. G. course. This gracious young miss with a dimpled chin, will then study languages at Syracuse. 16

“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

“Her voice was ever soft, gentle and low, an excellent thing in woman.” MERYL GREENMUN—Meryl has held office of President in Friday Club for two terms, and has also been Vice-President and Assistant Secretary, besides taking part in several publics. She has manifested a true poetic genius by the poems which she has composed for Class Day. She will learn Domestic Science at Pratt Institute and practice it in her future home. “What cannot be cured, must be endured.” GENEVIEVE GRIFFIN—Poor Genevieve—First day she thinks one thing—another day, something else. How great a trial is an uncertain future! “It is chance that makes brothers but H(e)arts that make friends.” ESTHER HART—In the 1910 Prize Speaking Contest, Esther won first prize and ‘everlasting fame.’ She further enhanced her glory by the leading role in the “Mishaps of Minerva.” After attending a dramatic school, she will be the star in a Keith Stock Company circuit. “To know that which before us lies in daily life, Is the prime wisdom.” MARY HAYES—Mary, with the rosy cheeks, expects to prepare to be a Domestic Science teacher at Pratt Institute. Confidentially, she doesn’t expect to teach long—but—a little knowledge of housekeeping will be so convenient. “Hope, deceitful as it is, carries us agreeably through life.” FANNY HICKEIN—Cortland Normal will also fit this demure young lady for teaching. She expresses her preference for a country school, however, where several older pupils of opposite sex, will need her benefi¬ cial and scholarly influence. “It warms me, it charms me to mention but her name.” RUTH HORTON—This young lady has the faculty for doing twice as much work as one thinks she could from her size. She has been Literary Editor of the Panorama for two terms, a lively member of Friday Club, carried off third honor and not content with that has also taken the task of being Class Day Essayist. Next fall she will rush off to Holyoke where she expects to fit herself for a teacher. 17
