“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. For the space of a year, she will devote her energies to recovering from the resulting strain and then she hopes to enter Cortland Normal to prepare for teaching. “Don’t never prophecy unless you know.” EDNA LEONARD—After a highly enjoyable and satisfactory (?) course, Edna decided at first, to enter Oberlin College for A(ubrey) B(owen) degree as she expressed it. Since then her plans have changed— have become very indefinite, though she still continues in the hope of winning the A. B. degree. She has held numerous offices in Friday Club, has been assistant treasurer and assistant secretary of Senior Class and will act as prophetess on Class Day. “She’s all my fancy painted her.” FAYE LEWIS—This charming lassie has been Vice-President of Junior Class and will grace Miss Smallwood’s Boarding School at Washington, D. 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. She says We can’t put in anything about her. We’ll take her word for it. 18

“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

“Here’s to the girl with eyes of blue, Whose heart is kind and love is true.” DOROTHY RUOFF—Our gentle Dorothy is elusive in answering inquiries though smiling and dove like as she evades you. “I am here, but few know it.” ANNA SCHIRM—Quiet Anna softly blushes as you gently hint as to her future but answers naught. “A little nonsense now and then Is relished by the wisest men.” HELENA SHEAR—So quiet and demure. She will stay at home one year and afterwards study music at Syracuse. “Heaven! Were man but constant, he were perfect.” JENNIE SNELL—Smiling graciously one moment and haughtily frowning the next, she said she was not telling. Upon close questioning we learned afterward that she might play the piano for Bud. “The sweetest cordial we receive at last is conscience of our virtuous actions past.” KATHERINE STEBBINS—Katherine heroically pulled through the bill for one white dress for graduation, and to her belongs the thanks of all. She got seventh honor and will take herself and her talents to Cornell for an A. B. (a bachelor). “You’d scarce expect one of my age To speak in public on the stage.” ETHEL RISLEY—has given B. C. H. S. fame by her splendid acting in Friday Club’s plays and on rhetoricals. “Those curious locks so aptly turned Whose every hair a soul doth bind.” HAZEL WHITMARSH—Contrary to her usual custom, Hazel didn’t have much to say. She intends to go to Syracuse and afterwards teach. Needless to say, such a future seems highly improbable.
