“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

She has held the position of Treasurer and Assistant Treasurer of Friday Club, and has also been Vice-President of Senior Class.

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

“Life is what we make of it.” HELEN LACEY —After a quiet but progressive course of four years Helen has suddenly demanded her share of public attention by winning fourth honor.

C. It is generally believed she will “follow the crowd” for a Domestic Science Course. We wonder why! “I woke one morning and found myself famous.” RUTH MOOERS—Our quiet valedictorian expects to study housekeeping at home for a year, after¬ wards studying music. Life will surely be one long, harmony for them. “A pleasant smiling cheek, a speaking eye.” SARAH BRADBURY—Sarah We are told, has a great fondness for Marin(e)us. With her usual pleas¬ ant smile, revealing the two big dimples, she announced her intention of entering Oneonta Normal. “But may, dear maid, each lover prove An Edward still, to you!” IRENE MURRAY—“Father says she’s too young yet.” Nuff said. “For I am nothing if not critical.” HANNAH STEER—She will go to Rochester and study Home Economics.
