First of all the Council authorized the purchasing of material for baseball and track and the report of the fund of the basketball season was given. The rest of the meetings have been along the same line as the first which seems to have struck the tenor of the whole term. The cast of the Literary-Debating Club play were awarded masks for their work. The council also authorized the entry of the track team in the Cornell, Alfred, Syracuse and Colgate Interscholastic Meets and voted to award the boys’ basketball team sweaters for their splendid work of the past season. At the fifth and last meeting which was held May 19, a question of great importance was decided. The girls’ basketball team which had met and defeated teams for the past three years had received for their services the customary felt letters and nothing else. After a little debate by the members of the council, it was decided to award the girls gold basket balls for their work. This team is the only means through which the girls may win a letter in this school and the council certainly made the members of the team feel that their work is appreciated. Fourteen Fifteen Q£t)t Mentors CLASS OF 1921 Colors Steel Gray and Navy Blue Motto With persistent effort Jack Bloomer .... Rachel Merrilees . Richard Sawtelle . Edwin King. Margaret Bromiley Kenneth Vosbury . President .. . Vice-President . Secretary . Treasurer . .Ass’t Treasurer S ergeant-at-A mis Sixteen MARGARET ALDERSON “Why worry—the one who hurries too fast is al¬ ways in a rush.” In strict accord with the above motto “Peggy” never rushes things, not even in the lunchroom. Her steady and persistent efforts, however, have won for her the respect of teachers, and—may we say it—of several young men. To be a Physical Directress is her goal. May she speedily attain it. LLOYD ALLEN “Born for success he seemed” Congress (1 -2-3-4), Secretary (1A-2B), President (2A), Sergeant-at-Arms (3), Vice-President (3A), Congress-Eriday Club Plays (2-3), Glee Club (1-2-3-4), Freshman Quartette (1), Spe¬ cial Chorus (1-2-3-4), President Freshman Dramatic Club (1), Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4), President (3A), Chairman Literary Committee G. O. (3), Music Committee (2A), Panorama Reporter (2). Look pleasant, please; Lloyd’s going to be a ‘foto grafer.’ And don’t you think he’ll make a good one? Such a pleasant face to amuse the children, too. Lloyd is noted for his ‘lengthy’ (y) debates in Con¬ gress and for his ability to hit the high spots in the glee club. SARAH ANDRUS “Adventurous and smiling.” A pin makes more noise than Sarah, and if it weren’t for the fact that her Remington has an in¬ curable rattle, you’d never know she existed. They say that she is very obliging. Resolved, that if the above be true, Sarah’s future spouse won’t have to revive the sick friend story in order to keep that important business engagement. RUTH ATWATER “A little peach in the orchard grew.” Literary Club, Sergeant-at-Arms (3), Secretary (4). “Your people shall be my people.” Thus said Ruth to herself when she entered Bingo High. She was very appropriately elected the sweetest girl in the Senior Class—which shows that her people recognized and appreciated her qualities. We could not say quantities for Ruth is small—oh, even so! Still, we’re incluined to think her stature of lesser importance in this case. 2 Seventeen ADELAIDE ATWELL “Come and trip it as you go .On the light fantastic toe.” Literary Club, Secretary (4B). “At” is the maid with the delicate air, With raven locks, so wondrous fair, A girl that you read about in books, One who is “thar” on the looks. ELSIE ATWOOD “While I live, let me live.” Civic Club Debate (2-3), Assistant News Editor “Panorama.” Elsie is our Mary Pickpord with her long yellow curls and ready smile. Between dates with Lynn, she has found time to study, for she is one of our most conscientious workers. In September, Elsie will go to Potsdam Normal to learn how to be a model kindergarten teacher. ROBERT BADGER “One who really says little but talks much.” Congress (1-2). And here’s one called “Bob.” He, too, is known as a bluffer, Spanish being the sufferer. His air of greatness foretells us that he ought some day to be a captain of industry. HARRIET BARBER “So short and sweet and dignified” Harriet loves to go to school, And so when autumn rolls around, Teaching in a district school Is where she says she may be found. Eighteen BERNARD BARNES “All work and no play will never make me a dull boy, I’ll say.” Bernard expects to become an expert accountant, but we think that he would make a better villain for the movies, with his bushy, black eyebrows. Holy Cross may soon be honored with his presence. HELEN BARNES “They that know the most make the least noise.” Light is her heart and full of fun, We hope her pleasures are just begun; She’s full of pep and smile and glee Here’s her picture for you to see. ELLA BLAIR “The lass with the delicate air.” Girls’ Basketball Team (2), Girls’ Glee Club (1-2), Civic Club Debate (3). - Ella’s off for a happy ride on her personal train of thought, May she ride in comfort, peace and plenty And safely reach the station sought. And may her good humor last so long, Her life will be one happy song! ALFRED BLAKENEY “A sea going salt on dry land.” We fear very much that though a golf enthusiast, “Al” will go to sea some day, for he seems to want to be always near the water. He has been so help¬ ful in adorning the fountain by room 119 by his daily 3:30 “lingerings!” At any rate, wherever he goes and whatever he does, we hope the wheel of fortune will turn his way. Nineteen MARIAN BLEWER “And nature made her what she is and never made another.” She’s neat and so sweet, So dainty and fair, She is a daisy, We all do declare. “Best dancer” as well— Ah! she is a belle! EMORY BLISS “Perge modo” Debating Club-Life Club-Glee Club (1-2), 1st Prize Harvard Prize Speaking Contest (3), 3rd Prize Meeker Contest (4), Literary Debating Club Play (4), Varsity Debate Team (4), Busi¬ ness Manager of Panorama (4). “Innocence is bliss.” ‘Take ye this for thy motto and be ye like Emory, ever ready to sharpen thy wit.’ Em is a very quiet boy . . (once in a while) but that is when he’s thinking. (No, it’s not possible). Emory has taken several prizes in prize speaking contests and has gained a wide reputation as Business Manager of the Panorama. He will con¬ tinue his studies at Cornell next fall. JOHN BLOOMER, JR. “Sail on, brave admiral, sail on, and on.” Debating Club, Life Club, Chamber of Commerce, Glee Club (1-2-3-4), School Quartette (1-2-3-4), Debating-Literary Club Plays (3-4), Manager of Track (3), Third Prize Harvard (3), Roose¬ velt Memorial Acceptance (4), Winner Hamil¬ ton Contest (4), President of Senior Class (4). Here is Jack! Consider him! Recall what he has done in his four years. Jack has not missed out on anything. As a speaker and actor he excells and his executive ability, is known not only by Seniors but by all students. Musically he is a won¬ der. All in all, Jack is a capital fellow and we wish him luck in a business career. RONALD BLOOMER “A fellow of mark and likelihood” Debating Club, Life Club, Manager Track Team (4), Quartette (4). Just by way of introduction, here is our dis¬ tinguished “Ron” Bloomer, manager of Track. “Ron” is also quite a musician, being an important member of the quartet. Not knowing his future plans, we must just wish the very best of luck and success to this bright and alert young man. . Twenty ANNA BOBAL “Still water runs deep.” Panorama Reporter (l), Literary Club, Sewing of Star on “Roosevelt Memorial Flag.” Anna is a quiet sort of girl, yet we dare say she has found her own special niche in her own special way. You can always depend on quiet people, you know. WALTER BOWEN “I’ll warrant him heart whole.” Although possessing vivid auburn (?) hair, Walter does not possess a corresponding manner but is on the contrary quite modest and retiring. Aside from this he is the original chem shark and will be one of our leading chemists some day. GLENN BREWER “The apple of my eye, rules my heart.” Oh cupid mouth, oh dolly eyes, Oh fair white cheeks expressive sighs, Shall no more, varnished classrooms see For Cornell calls our “Class Baby.” MILDRED BROKAW “Blessed are the small because they come no smaller.” Friday Club Millie is small, Millie is sweet; We all agree She can’t be beat. Twenty-One MARGARET BROMILEY “A witty woman is a treasure.” Friday Club (2-3-4), President (3), Friday Club Basketball Team, Special Chorus (2-3-4), Girls’ Varsity Basketball team (3-4), Friday-Congress Play (3-4), Student Member of Executive Coun¬ cil (4), Panorama Reporter (4), Ass’t Treasurer Senior Class (4), Chairman Girls’ Vigilant Com¬ mittee, Colonel-Student Government Movement. Behold “Peg,” the most popular girl in the 1921 graduating class. “Peg” is an all-round girl in school activities full of life and pep. She has taken part in school dramatics, athletics, G. O. Executive Council, Girls’ Vigilant Committee and has filled various other places with equal vigor. “Peg” has ever so many friends and we hope she will con¬ tinue to make them as readily in the future as she has in the past. Here’s wishing her the best of luck. ANNA BRONSTEIN “Life without laughing is a dreary blank.” Did you ever see that girl go down through Court street in a car? Well, that’s Anna. In school, she’s industrious,—always seems to be looking for rubber or eraser or something—but out of school—that would be telling. I guess you’ll have to ask her. DAVENPORT BROWN “Let us rest ourselves a bit Worry! Wave your hand at it.” “Dav” has always seemed rather quiet around school, but when once his mask of indifference is thrown aside you will find that he is a very lively fellow. He has pursued his course in a leisurely manner, but like the tortoise, gets there just the same. GARDINER BUMP “Bit of a schemer, bit of a dreamer Bit of a poet—and a lot of a man.” A good scout leader. Knows trees, flowers, birds and snakes. Umpires baseball. Has a red motorcycle and calls it a Go-devil. Hungers for literature and thirsts for math. Writes jokes, stories, and splendid poetry. Versatility personified. Twenty-Two ELLEN CARMAN “An estmable young lady.” Congress, Life Club. Special Chorus, Girls’ Glee Club. Intense. The studious one—in 307. Sort o’ quiet. Yet ambitious and energetic. Nice ’n sensible? Very. LESLIE CIZEK “A man of pleasure.” Debating Club, Life Club, Secretary (3), Debat- ing-Literary Club Play (3), Manager Debating Literary Club Play (4), Football Squad (3), Swimming Team (3), Track. Team (3). “Les” is enjoying the weather down at Penn. He graduated on short time last spring and is having a prosperous half year at college where he is taking a course at the Warton school with fond hopes of be¬ coming a great railroad magnet in the future. WALLACE CLARK “I ramble wherever I go.” A car and a place to drive are the only necessities required by our “Wally.” He is a most ardent ad¬ mirer of studies and if we are good prophesiers we think he would make a great mechanic or engineer. LESTER COLE “Brevity is the sole of wit.” “Les” is a ' reserved sort of chap and seldom has anything to say but when he says it—oh my—it sounds well. Lester C. is a ' n ardent admirer of B. C. H. S. as shown by his prolonged stay here. His great ambition is to write a book on “Political Economy.” We wish you all success, “Les.” Twenty-Three LLOYD COLSTON “A contented mind.” Some person has said that silence and content¬ ment some day belch forth in a stream of jolly merriment. Lloyd is quiet and maybe serios but we know that the future is ahead and that he has his jolly days before him. ELSIE COONS “Where are you going my pretty maid?” Literary Club, Chamber of Commerce. Well, Elsie will soon leave the portals of B. C. H. S. We had not thought to ask her “Whither away,” because Bingo High is evading the thought of her loss. However, that is the way of life—our loss will be someone “else’s” gain. How about it, Elsie? DERWOOI) CROCKER “Oh, he sits high in all the ladies’ hearts.” Debating Club, Life Club, Student Member Execu- geant-at-Arms (4), Football (4), Glee Club, Ser- geant-at-Arms Junior Class (3). From the balmy South, one day Derwood Crocker came to stay With his quiet, little smile And his different little style He won our hearts away— That’s all we’ve got to say! ELMA DARROW “Silence is more eloquent than words.” Literary Club (2-3-4), President (4B), Secretary Board of Directors (4). Elma‘, for one, the above rule applies to you. A silent girl is unusual. Elma is silent (at times). Therefore, Elma is unusual. The proposition and deduction may not be accurate but the conclusion invariably remains. We wish you most worthy one, many prosperous and happy days. Twenty-Four MARTIN DEYO ■ « r ; r .- i ' “Some men go mad through study.” Debating Club, Life Club, President Debating Club - ■ X ' 2), Literary Debating Club Plays (2-3-4), Man- ager of Football (3), Varsity Debate Team � « (2,-3), Leader (3), Second Prize Harvard Con- test (3), First Prize Weeks Contest (3), First JfiX ' � ■ M Prize Meeker Contest (3), First Prize Harvard ti l Contest (4), President G. O. V ii ™ Our “Marty.” Future president or something! p jc A smooth orator. ' 4 A big success with the girls. He drags a ' mean line, and gets away with it. BELLA DI SEN HOUSE Ife j£ : c “1 would look up, and laugh, and love, and lift.” Special Chorus, Glee Club, Chamber of Commerce, jjPi f ||Sh . Captain of Victory Girls, Civic Club Debate. Mpv While I was turning over heaps of sheet music, 1 • . JoSbl found titles, new and old, which seemed to portray Billie’s character better than I could. There was pnyk ' Vr. “There’s Egypt in Your Dreamy Eyes,” and next to Milk lyBJr, that “Can She Dance and Can She Sing, I’ll Say She Does.” Then after I had shuffled over some more K Wl!«iiW IVW pieces, I spied “Do You Ever Think of Me?” This ;. a seemed especially appropriate, because I was just hoping that when Billie goes out into the world. 1 AS 1 : ■she will sometimes think of us. F LO R F N C F 1) 0 RWAR D |p : . “Home Keeping Hearts Are Happiest.” Florence is a natural home-lover. This seem s peculiar when you consider the fact that Florence lP was born in Africa, and has lived in many different 1 places since. Nevertheless, she adores house-keeping and is exceedingly proficient in that perplexing art. Besides her domestic qualities, Florence makes an p 4 V 1 pp ideal chum. Though rather quiet in class, she is ffimlim ' y «|1 really brimful of fun and is addicted to sudden at- tacks of giggles. Next year she intends to go to Pratt and learn more housekeeping. Why—we don’t know jgg ’ is ggj J ||g.; | unless a certain student at Harvard is to blame. . ' V ' ' . 4 ' jX ” 1 ‘ % ' fc ‘ y$? ' ' ■ .V ' TA EMILY DOUGAL ' «v “A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.” jR . Friday Club (2-3-4). There is no need to introduce Emily, for who does JGra BII not know her? She attends every high school foot- ■L ball and basketball game, and cheers for her team ■ il HT | Wapis with great enthusiasm. Emily expects to finish her ' - education at Wellesley College after which—her ■1 future is undecided. Twenty-Five “Being lovely is a duty.” DOROTHY EDGECOMB “Knowledge gained is a world achieved.” Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4), Secretary (2). Dot is the future county court stenographer. Ac¬ cording to the modern ideas, she would find her ideal position here for she could play the victrola and take the victim’s confession at the same time. All this because she’s a shorthand shark and just adores the Strand’s augmented orchestra. MINNIE EGNOR “I love my Teddy.” Friday Club Someone has said that people can be described in just one telling word. Minnie’s word is “con¬ scientious.” It is one of her outstanding virtues. She has been one of the kind that B. C. H. S needs more of—the kind who does her work cheerfully and thoroughly, every day in the year. MARGARET DOYLE Girls’ Athletic Committee (4), Girls’ Basketball Team (3A-4B), Girls’ Interclass Swimming Team (1-2), Chamber of Commerce. (4), Cham¬ ber of Commerce Girls’ Basketball Team (4), Friday Club (3), Friday Club Basketball Team (3), Special Chorus (2-3-4). A woman of few words but they say that looks speak louder than words. If this is so, Peggy doesn’t need to talk. We all remember her work on the basketball team. She was right there when the whistle blew and we are inclined to believe that she will be right there all through life. DONALD DRUMTRA “ ’Tis just a trifle, let it be.” Life Club, President (4), Manager Baseball (4), Athletic Council (4), Debating Club (1-2-3). The quiet fellow (?) Popular with the girls. The kind they use for collar advertisements. A rival for Lew Cody. Baseball fan. Twenty-Six “And her name was Peg.” Which semed to describe her perfectly. Literary Club, Chamber of Commerce Peg is a lovable name, you know, and Peg in this case, is a lovable girl. B. C. H. S. can’t help but miss her cheery smile and genial “Hello.” The title, “Peg O’ Bingo High’s Heart,” would suit her very well. CHRISTINE ELLETT “To every smile there is a silver lining.” Originality thy name, And “quietitude” thy pose, Well fitted for a nurse are you To nurse poor Kenneth’s woes. MARY ENGELBERT “Silence is sweeter than speech.” Literary Club Mary always seems calm and composed, never rushed or studious-looking, but her report card con¬ tradicts her “now worried” attitude. If actions speak louder than words, Mary has merely to act natural to maintain through life her reputation at B. C. H. S. ANNA ENGLISH “A brain is worth little without a tongue.” Girls’ Glee Club (2), Special Chorus. Have you ever heard Anna talk when she is ex¬ cited. One could never take shorthand notes fast enough for her, so she has learned shorthand her¬ self. We hope she uses the same speed toward success that she has used here. MARGARET EIGHMY Twenty-Seven LEWIS ENSWORTH “Blow, blow, breathe and blow.” Orchestra (1-2-3-4), Life Club. Louie used to come around to every dance and everything, but for the last two years, it seems “pass- strange” that he should shrink into his shell and come out of it only long enough for flying trips to New York. Still, we can forgive you, although you are lost to us,for we know the reason why! WILLIS FALSEY “The snail has nothing on me.” Willis is one of the reserved type, who never has much to say about himself. If appearances count for anything. Willis is very studious, for one never sees him going home without a great pile of books under his arm. Hamilton appears to be his next Alma Mater, and if he is as diligent in his work there as he has been here, he should make a good mark for himself. MORRIS FERENSEN “A sturdy son of toil.” Congress, Life Club. When Morris hasn’t anything else to do he goes up in the Chem laboratory and blows up the place by his unknown combinations. Aside from this Morris is a very pleasant and likeable fellow, at least Myra thinks so. ROBERT FERGUSON “He is a positive prodigy.” Congress (3-4), Assistant Secretary (4B), Secre¬ tary (4A), Chairman Property Committee Con- gress-Friday Club Play (4). Bobby is going to be an electrical genius. From the time he took his first Ingersoll apart with the family hammer, he has always had a hankering for mechanical machines. Bob’s specialty is lighting effects. He hopes to give the High School a system that will make the management of the Strand turn green with envy. But then, you never can tell for he may build an electrically controlled traffic cop or sidewalks that you don’t have to walk on; they will be moved when you step on them by the Fer¬ guson system of Rapid Transit. Twenty-Eight GRACE FIELDS “A very diamond for brilliance.” Grace wears her honors lightly—we have never seen her looking either studious or cross, although she was unanimously voted the most brilliant in the class. She is planning to try her genius on a ' coun¬ try school next year—and then perhaps—college. We don’t need to wish her good luck, but we will, because we all like her. MARGARET FOLEY “Faithful ever faithful.” Friday Club. A meek little girl—on the outside. But Peggy has more spunk that you would imagine During her four years sojourn through high school she has quietly pursued the calm tenor of her way. We ex¬ pect some day to see her teaching a bunch of gram¬ mar school youngsters. WENDELL FOOTE “If music be the food of love, Play on.” Has the smile that won’t come off. Plays a “mean” saxaphone. Is dra-Mac-k-tically inclined. Expects to go to Syracuse in the fall. RUTH FOSTER “The rose that all are praising.” A good cook, a fine seamstress, and dancer is she. Wherever she is everyone happy can be. She can entertain, make most anyone smile, With all of these qualities, she’s sure to make life worth while. Twenty-Nine HAZEL FREIBERG “Living is a very We hope the fruits of Will grow on a prosperous tree, Be sure that tree is tall and strong For what loads of fruit there’ll be! serious LEON GALLOWAY “My best is not all I can do.” Leon has been one of the most energetic and hard¬ working students of the class. He has wonderfully overcome obstacles and has come out with a shining and gleeful face. His career at B. C. H. S. will be remembered. JACK GATES “Handsome.” Farm Cadet (1), Congress (1), Debating Club (2-3), Debating Club Treasurer (2) Life Club (1-2-3-4), Life Club President (3), Junior Class Secretary (3), Baseball (3-4), Basketball Assist¬ ant Manager (3), Manager (4), Basketball (4), G. O. Student Member (4). B. C. H. S. boasts a boy named Gates, Full of interest in Fords and dates, Clever with the ball and bat, Mean dancer, good sport, all that! WILLIAM GEDER “We are the music makers.” Noted terpischorean wonder. The poet. The boy with the big smile. The boy with the winning personality Known everywhere as just “Bill.” Thirty EVELYN GEROWE “Her delight is doing good to others.” Oh, we don’t want you to go! For you are the girl that we all do adore, We wish you’d come back to see us once more. We’ll miss you when you’re away, We wish you were coming back to stay. Oh, we don’t want you to go! Go where? Away from B. C. H. S. MARY GILLSON “She has a happy appearance.” Friday Club (2-3-4), Treasurer (4), Chamber of Commerce (3-4), Special Chorus (2-3-4), Girls’ Varsity Basketball (3-4), Captain (4), Girls’ Athletic Committee (3-4), Friday-Congress Play (4), Friday Club Basketball Team (2-3-4), Chamber of Commerce Basketball Team (3), Assistant Girl Cheer Leader (4), Corporal Vigi¬ lance Committee. Here is Mary, the captain of the Girls’ Basketball Team, and one of the best athletes in the school. She has been a very industrious and devoted student and is sure to win success in whatever she attempts. Everyone who knows Mary likes her and we all wish her the best of luck. MORRIS GITLITZ “Heavens, how he can talk.” First Prize Weeks Contest (3), Third Prize Har¬ vard Contest (3), First Prize Meeker Contest (4), Honorable Mention Hamilton Interscholas¬ tic Prize Speaking Contest (4), Varsity Debate Team (4), Orchestra (1-2-3-4). Second Prize Colgate. Morris needs no introduction, he speaks for him¬ self. He is a firm believer in hard work, and the suc¬ cess with which his efforts have been crowned shows it. His work on the Elmira debate deserves special mention. Besides being an orator he is also one of the honor students and a musician of no mean ability. At present he is undecided as to whether he will study to become a lawyer or an en¬ gineer. DOROTHY GOODWIN “Such harmonious madness From her lips would flow.” Literary Club, Vice-President (4), Girls’ Varsity Basketball Team (2-3-4), Literary Basketball Team (2-3-4). Dot, your voice is school-famed, but you will be remembered for something else, too. The basketball team may recover, but we doubt it. We’re hoping you get every goal you try for, either in basketball or out of it. We wish you a smooth journey on the road to success. Thirty-One RAYMOND GORHAM “Studiousness is my forte.” Raymond is another one of those who make at¬ tending school, a thing worth while. That he ap¬ preciates the value of the education thrust upon him by the city is shown by the remarkable and comprehensive answers which he gives in Chemistry class. GEORGE GORMAN “Farmers are the backbone of the nation.” George hails from the wilds of Kirkwood. In the time he has been with us we have not had a very good chance to get acquainted, but we feel sure that his hard work will win success for him in the busi¬ ness world. MABEL GORTON “Dere Mabel.” Friday Club, Special Chorus. Maybelle—belle of the May and belle of all times Snap, pep, and ginger—sounds hot doesn’t it? Yet Maybelle has “it” and has been found a regular girl. She is invariably helpful and cheerful and a good time is had by all when she is around. Oneonta will be richly blessed. PAUL GRADY “I love the ladies.” Life Club, Special Chorus, Glee Club. Paul is a fellow that everyone can get along with, because lie’s so jolly and companionable. Good, with a few qualifying terms, will explain him in a very able manner. He is a good bluffer, a good talker, a good sport, a very good flirt, and to help him get away with all these good qualities, he is good looking. Certainly he should make a good hit with the co-eds at Columbia. Thirty-Two GERTRUDE GRIFFIN “Two, one in each cheek.” Chamber of Commerce, Friday Club. O! there is a girl that’s known in our parts, Her name is Gertrude Griffin, and she’s won our hearts— 0! we’d like to know a girl with more go! We’ll all stand by her ’till the end—O! GENIEVE HACKETT “Smirking, smiling, ever deceiving.” Perhaps the curly locks of Genevieve are not characteristic of her alone, but nevertheless, these particular locks are her own. Attractive? Yes. Helpful and willing? Yes A good student? Yes. A graduate? Yes. That’s the only fault to find; she’s going to leave B, C. H. S. DORIS HAMILTON “The tortoise can creep upon the hare. But has to keep agoin’.” Special Chorus Doris should take up secretarial work or art. She has no inclination for the strenuous life. She used to be a law shark and as “lawing” is an easy pro¬ fession, she might possibly seek admittance to the bar. FLORENCE HANLEY “Haste thee nymph and bring with thee Jest, and youthful jollity.” Chamber of Commerce, Prize Poster for Congress- Friday Club Play. Here is a second class giggler. But since they say laughter leads to success, no one need fear for Florence. She has made numerous friends who think it is a mistake that she was not elected to the office of “Class Tee-hee.” But putting aside all joking Florence is a promising member of the Com¬ mercial Dep’t, and expects to follow a business career. Thirty-Three Friday Club. Four years of High School life has, indeed, bene¬ fited Helen, both mentally and physically (?) but this last year Helen has realized her physical “round” of life, and has seriously taken up basket¬ ball, so that now she is one of the stars on the Basketball Team. Helen’s presence in Friday Club will certainly be missed, especially her winning smile and cheerful manner. Let’s not be greedy but share Helen with Cornell where she expects to go this fall. But why Cornell? Ask “Him.” RUTH HERMANN “Thy quickness of wit is exceeded only by her quick¬ ness of hand.” Chamber of Commerce (3-4), Secretary (4), Spe¬ cial Chorus (2-3-4), Congress-P ' riday Club Play (2) , Girls’ Varsity Basketball (3-4), Manager (3) , Girls’ Athletic Committee, Auditorium Re¬ porter (4). Ruth—Star on the Girl s’ Basketball Team. Football enthusiast. Expects to enter the business world now. A great credit to the school. MARIAN HICKEY “An equal mixture of good and humor.” We hate to see you go away, We like your cheery smile, As o’er the sea of life you sail, May you ne’er know a stormy gale. LOIS HOLCOMB “There is more fun in her than a casual observer would observe.” Lois is an expert at canoeing, life-saving, and dressmaking. Lois is a steady, conscientious worker, and has spent four creditable years at high school. We wonder if Lois is going to give up driv¬ ing her Overland and drive Clyde’s Ford instead. Time alone can tell. Syracuse is a fortunate col¬ lege to receive her. HELEN HENNESSEY “The smile that won’t come off.” Thirty-Four RODNEY HOTCHKIN “He hath worn out more shoe leather than three or¬ dinary Romeos.” Special Chorus (2-3), Orchestra (2), Boys’ Glee Club (3), Life Club (2-3). A bashful student of B. C. H. S. A man of the world along certain lines, But he’s caught in a knot of the cords of love, And they call it the tie that binds. ALMA HUMPHRIES “Our pleasures and our discontents are rounds by which we may ascend.” Friday Club. Alma ' is another of those quiet, serious girls who are sometimes known to change their demeanor after school. She has plugged hard and faithfully to complete her cause here and we are sure that she will be successful in all her future undertakings. EDWARD HUTCHINGS “He is always waiting for developments.” Congress, Track Team (4). Ed was known to everyone through his connection with our class photographer, but he is now busily engaged at the business of making “blueprints.” He was a success in B. C. H. S and he will be a suc¬ cess elsewhere. RALPH JACKSON “I am petite, but, oh my!” Life Club. It has always been a source of wonder how so much noise could come from so diminuitive a per¬ son. Some claim that Grape-nuts does it, others say that Tanlac is the great secret. Whatever it may be Ralph surely possesses it. He has pursued or rather followed his high school course in a leisurely manner contrary to his general attitude of haste. What he will do in the future is a question. Juvenile roles in the movies where he could be seen but not heard would seem to be, an ideal solution of the question. rJ K MILDRED JOHNSON “Composure is thy charm.” Chamber of Commerce, Literary. “Mil” is one of timid members, always abounding in good fellowship and fun. She seems to be in¬ terested in higher education, however, judging from her frequent letters from Penn. State. Perhaps Co¬ education is in vogue there. Is it, Mil? Well, you never can tell. LOUISE KILLEN “O! The light that lies in woman’s eyes!” Literary Club (1-2-3—1), Orchestra (3-4), Vigi¬ lance Committee, Literary-Debating Club Play (3-4). Louise Killen is one of our remarkable girls She has done everything that it is possible for one girl to accomplish. She has sung and danced her way into popularity. She has charmed us all by her clever acting and speaking. She has done what all of us would like to do—written some very much worth-while poems and stories. She may have been elected the vamp of 1921, but just the same, we be¬ lieve that people are attracted by her winning per¬ sonality and her charming ways. EDWIN KING “Good things come in small packages.” Debating ' Club (1-2-3-4), Life Club (1-2-3-4), Vice-President (3), Senior Class Treasurer (4), Varsity Football (2-3-4), Captain (3), Second All-State Quarterback (4), Varsity Track (2-3), Manager Baseball (3), Second Team Basketball (3-4), Student Member Executive Council (3), Secretary (4). Football hero. Most popular fellow in school. Most popular with Con—! Wonderful sport. HAROLD LANDRE “He’s lightning quick, but slow to anger.” Life Club (1-2), Basketball (4). A man of action, not of words A star player in basketball; An engineer in Syracuse, Where he will go next fall. Thirty-Six MARY LAWRENCE “Ever a jolly Lawrence.” The fair Kantrinka on the left, lives up to her reputation as a Lawrence. She is the best on the market and covers all that is advertised. She is especially broad-minded in her views of political economy. She’s quiet and very bashful, but I imagine she’s a peach of a cook. WALTER LE BARON “His words are always well chosen.” Glee Club (1-2), Special Chorus, Life Club (4), Congress (1-2-3-4), President (4B), Chairman Committe Literary Societies of G. O. (4B), Chairman House Committee, Congress-Eriday Club Play (4A). “Absent or present, still to thee, My friend, what magic spells belong! As all can tell, who share, like me, In turn thy converse, and thy song.” ESTHER LEE “Life is a pleasure to me.” “Es” is our class giggler. Worthy occupation! It isn’t everyone that can giggle to perfection. “Es” has many friends, both on the right and left side of the auditorium. Esther is undecided about the future. She may possibly take a P. G. next year. WILMA LESTER “Silence is golden.” Special Chorus (2-3-4). Wilma has led a very quiet, calm life during her years in B. C. H. S. She is a sweet, likeable young person and has worked faithfully to complete her high school education. We wish you luck, Wilma. Thirty-Seven MAUD LAUGHLIN “A third, like the first two.” Literary Club. Polly is sweet and pretty, So snappy and neat. For the climax of my little ditty, I’ll say Polly can’t be beat. DAVID LEVENE “Handsome is as handsome does.” Special Chorus (1-2), Orchestra (1-2), Junior Four Minute Man, Graduation in 3 1-2 A ears, Second Commencement Honor. The smallest big boy in the class. A rare combination of “good looks, excellent humor and perfect marks. A lusty extoller of that ancient anthem, “Work for the night is coming.” Future—well, maybe a few experiments in dent¬ istry —helping poor Seniors cut their wisdom teeth. JOSEPH LEVINE “Wearig all the weight of learning.” Glee Club (1), Special Chorus (1), First Prize Forestry Contest (1), First Prize Meeker Con¬ test, Second Prize Harvard Contest, Second Prize Week’s Contest, Second Prize Colgate Extem¬ poraneous Debate, Varsity Debate Team (3). Joe has made himself known to the school through his ability to speak and to debate He is chuck- full of school, spirit and is there with bells on. “Joe’s” lessons are always well prepared, a trait which we hope will aid in winning for himself the title of Doctor of Medicine. JOSEPH LINAHAN “A cheerful disposition.” Chamber of Commerce. Has that infectious laugh. A sunny disposition to match. Is the most original boy in the Senior Class. Thirty-Eight RUTH LULL “The girl of many inconsistencies.” Literary Club, Panorama Reporter (1-3), Special Chorus (1-2-3), Pianist (4), Leader Civic Club Debate (2). Tall—bobbed hair, Pun loving—studious Greek, Latin, Spanish, even Correct English, Musical—not vocal. Well-liked—not thoroughly known, And so many other things — But we’ll let it go at that. Keep on plugging, Ruth, But don’t forget how to play! DOROTHY LYON “The small are often great.” Friday Club Dot’s full of pep, Dot’s full of smiles; She’s full of fun, And—“womanly wiles!” Dot’s a good sport She’s energetic, Though she is small, Dot is magnetic. DANIEL McAVOY “Slick, neat and ever shining.” Dan, our arrow collar man, is the local candidate of the class of 1921 to step out in fast company on the diamond in the near future. His two years ex¬ perience as tender of the initial sack on the base¬ ball field will surely help out. His high school career has been marked by a growing popularity culminating in his election a ' s captain of baseball. ANNA McHARG “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” Literary Club, Civic Club Debate (2), Panorama Reporter (2), Secretary Vigilance Committee, Class Essayist. Ann—the very name suggests A rose without thorns— Peaches and cream. Delightfully friendly, yet charmingly reserved, Ever ready to help— An all around good friend. Fortune will bless the fortunate one—Ann! Thirty-Nine NAOMI MACOMBER “A jewel in a golden crown.” Literary Club. Hair made of gold, and eyes made of sky, Lips made of scarlet, face made of rose, “Who’s this fair maid?” someone cries, “Why, it’s Naomi,” as everyone knows. HAZEL MADIGAN “But gentle was the dame forsooth.” Friday Club Haze| has leisurely wended her way through her course here. She is a rather quiet, unassuming young lass while in school, but most capable of en¬ joying a little fun after school hours. She will go to Normal school in the fall, after which she in¬ tends to teach. RACHEL MERRILEES “So much energy and t alent.” Chamber of Commerce, Friday Club, Vice-Presi¬ dent (3), Girls’ Varsity Basketball (2-3-4), Manager (4), Girls’ Athletic Committee (3-4), Vice-President Senior Class, Captain Self-Gov¬ ernment, Special Chorus (1 -2-3-4). Here is Rachel, the best girl athlete in the school, an honor student and a good sport. Not afraid of work, is Rachel, and her pleasant smiles have won her a host of friends. She is bright and lively and an asset to B. C. H. S. DWIGHT MERRILL “Women have no interest for me.” Here is one of our out of town students who hails from Hallstead, Pa. A quiet, retiring fellow, yet when one comes to know him a more likeable person could not be found. Forty MAURICE MILLARD “An industrious squirrel.” Although Maurice has captured the very dis¬ tinguished!?) “Class nut,” he is far from being what the name implies. After graduation he in¬ tends to devote himself to the study of music, and we wish him every success in the development of this wonderful vocation. WINIFRED MOOERS “A fair and estimable young lady.” Winifred is one of these quiet girls who are al¬ ways such faithful and earnest workers. She, too, won a Commencement Honor, which proves her brilliance as a student. She has completed a Com¬ mercial Course and will probably become a most efficient stenographer. HAROLD MOORE “I am the very king of courtesy.” Congress, Glee Club. Harold is really good looking, much better than his picture shows. Ever a little shy of his admir¬ ers, he is a good sport, lively and jolly as can be. We know he will be successful in whatever he at¬ tempts to do. HOWARD MORGAN “Higher, higher, ever upward.” Debating Club, Life Club. Howard is one of the ten or more six-footers of the graduating class. He joined the class at the beginning of his Junior year and has now become a regular B. C. H. Sian. Plans for the future are uncertain but perhaps he will take up the profes¬ sion of a rubber chemist. Forty-One MINNIE MORRIS “The girl o ' my dreams.” Friday Club, Assistant Secretary. Minnie has been busy cooking and sewing in the Household Arts Department—for a reason, but now she is wavering, even considering a course at Lowell’s. We hope that she will always use the same frankness and worrilessness that she has dis¬ played here, for she is on the highroad to success. CHARLES MOSSEW “Tell me something I don’t know.” Charles is the Virgil “shark” of the class. If anyone can make his tongue move faster in trans¬ lation than Charlie’s, well that one has Charlie beaten. Our subject is most helpful and we all have a liking for him because of his earnestness and good heartedness. HARRY NELSON “Timidity is a virtue.” “Harry,” the chap unanimously elected the most bashful of the graduates of 1921, surely is our idea of a “woman-hater.” He is also, according to the reports of certain members of the faculty, an art¬ ful bluffer. However the old saying that “When a bluffer bluffs he mustn’t blush,” seems to be Harry’s downfall. He is considering a P. G. next year to overcome this defect, after which he will probably join an expedition to the haunts of Syracuse. MARGARET O’DONNELL “Jolly is her nature.” Friday Club (1-2-3-4), Vice-President (3B), Ser- geant-at-Arms (4A), Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4), Secretary-Treasurer (4A), Special Chorus (2-3-4). The name “Peg” is common, we know, but our kind is different. She is as jolly and peppy as can be. Why you can always hear her coming! She has bushels of friends and followers too. Last January “Peg” finished her schooling and she is now working in the superintendent’s office. Forty-Two . MARY O’HARE “One with brains—a paradox.” Vice-President Junior Class (3), Friday Club (2-3-4), Secretary (3), President (4), Friday- Congress Plays (3-4), Civic Club Debate (2-3), Assistant Literary Editor Panorama (4), Mem¬ ber G. O. Committee on Literary Activities (4), Member Council High School Editors’ Associa¬ tion (4), Major Girls’ Vigilance Committee (4), Week’s Contest (4), Class Prophetess (4). The seniors certainly are proud of Mary, their clever prophetess, who has made such a splendid record during her four years in B. C. H. S. As her accomplishments show, Mary is especially brilliant in literary and dramatic work. What field of acti¬ vity will claim her in the future is uncertain, but it seems almost safe to say that it will be some phase of dramatics. Who knows but some day Mary may be a real leading lady? MARION O’MARA “The lovely woman, who has driven him to dream.” Orchestra (1-2-3), Friday Club (1-2-3-4), Cham¬ ber of Commerce (2-3-4); Vice-President (4), Treasurer Friday Club (4). Black haired Marion has been quite a belle around the school, being very active in Friday Club and the Chamber of Commerce. She has been very busy of late dividing her time between school and entertaining “De.” B. C. H. S. is going to miss Marion, for she has been a very amiable energetic member of the class, and we all wish her the best of luck. HELEN ORFORD “Quietude her greatest virtue.” Helen has been a very quiet, ambitious young lady during her entire course in B. C. H. S. She has been a most loyal supporter of “Lit” as well as a faithful member of the Chamber of Commerce. Business will claim Helen’s attention after her graduation. THOMAS PAGE “Stately stride and manly pride No man can justly chide.” Buy of Tommy and you’ll get your money’s worth. (He works in Woolworth’s). Tom has a new idea. He’s going to start a 5 10c store where you can buy things on the installment plan. This would benefit the matrimonial business to a great extent and Tommy would be hailed as a national philan¬ thropist. But listen, girls, here’s a hint for the future: He’s bashful and wouldn’t think of—put¬ ting off stale vegetables on you when you go to his store. Forty-Three DE FOREST FARCE “A soldier boy was he.” Debating Club, Fife C lub, Glee Club. “De” is one of the high school fellows who answered the call of Uncle Sam in the lecent wai. He didn’t have the good fortune to get across, but went to Texas instead. Besides being a mighty good fellow, “De” is also an honoi student. He has a certain way with him that is winning with the fair sex. Future uncertain. GEORGE PERKINS “lnnocence(?)” Just think, this lad is the only Senior who wears short pants. That’s quite a notable distinction, don’t you think? When it comes to cutting up in class, ' George has them all stopped. The funny thing about it is that when he is reproved for his actions, he invariably starts up with a look on his face that speaks plainer than words, “Why, what’s the matter? I didn’t do a thing.” Thus the title—Innocence(?). RUTH PERKINS “The sister of innocence—perhaps.” Who doesn’t know Ruth of the fuffy hair and the wide smile? She came here two years ago and has gained in popularity, ever since. Her favorite sport(?) I’ve heard, is translating Virgil,—but who knows? Her next venture will be at Wells. ETNA PIERSON “My ambition is to conquer.” Who would ever think that such a tiny little girl as Elna could have so much ambition? She has been with us only a year, but we have never seen her quiet. Her speciality seems to be Argumenta¬ tion. She threatens to go to a Normal school in the fall. Forty-Four EVELYN POWELL “Bashful but attractive.” Literary Club. Pretty and popular is Evelyn with light, curly hair. Why is light, curly hair always looked upon with envy? Evelyn entered B. C. H. S. from Syra¬ cuse High two years ago. Her strongest?) point is mathematics. Cheer up, Evelyn, we all have our troubles.—She expects to enter Syracuse Uni¬ versity next fall. Back to 1 the old home town. NELLIE PRESTON “Blonds are our favorites.” Nellie came from Scranton not long ago to see if she could find a better locality. We are glad that she appreciates the worthy halls of B. C. H. S. She is taking the business course and expects to become a good business woman. HUGH PRYTHERCH “Bashfulness is only skin deep with Hugh.” From the throes of a freshman, Hugh has by his sheer personality and good will raised himself to a position of some esteem among the Seniors. He has taken part in athletics and been a success on the track team. He has well upheld the name of Prytherch. PATRICIA QUINLAN “Attractive, Ah, yes, indeed.” Patricia is just as pretty as her name is. We hear she comes from the South, if so it might be well that we all did. Though Patricia is another of the late additions to the Class we feel that were she not to graduate there would be just one too few. Whatever Patricia does we know she will be a great success because of her bewitching smile and friendly manner. Forty- -Five DOROTHY QUINN “Ever bashful.” Orchestra (1-2-3-4B), Special Chorus (1-2-3-4B), Literary Club (2-3-4B), Sergeant-at-Arms (3), Literary Basketball Team (3), Girls’ Varsity Basketball (4B), Civic Club Debate (4B), Grad¬ uation in 3 1-2 Years. It is Dotty so petite A June fille so very douce Who plans robes so elite And saves pere money from his bourse! GEORGIA RATH “Her hair is of good color.” Literary Club, Chamber of Commerce. Here is a maiden with auburn hair, Who in shorthand and type is proficient. Her aim is an office large,—somewhere— A stenographer fair and efficient. A popular girl in Central High, For she’s everybody’s friend; So may her popularity never die, May her good luck never end! MARIE RING “Born for success.” Friday Club, Chamber of Commerce, Panorama Reporter for C. of C. (4), Zaner Penmanship Diploma. May you ever be prosperous Your heart ’most overflow With all the joy and happiness A “Ring-leader” can know. WILLIAM RISI “A conscientious worker.” Bill is “the oreejinal shark.” He was never known to skip a class or to be unprepared. He’s a shark at baseball too, but his modesty prevented him from going out for the high school team. Bill can write short stories and will probably decorate Columbia University for four or five years in an effort to be a second Richard Harding Davis. Forty-Six GERALD ROSA “A regular he man.” Football, Track, Chamber of Commerce, Life Club. Specializes in football and track, Works at the Morning Sun and admits it. Middle name, “Pat,” Has a “way” with the girls. LEONA RUOFF “A veritable, good looking housekeeper.” Friday Club. This blackeyed, darkhaired maiden looks mild enough, but she is a real shark in Math, and has sailed through four years of Latin with E’s all over her report card. She hasn’t told us her mid¬ dle name but we think it is Conscientiousness. After learning how to keep house, she will go to a western college. HUBERT RUSSELL • Chamber of Commerce (3-4). about relativity and the coagitations of a ' cuckoo. Hubert is the second Einstein. He knows all Chem is his favorite subject and his many theories are very elaborate. He used to be a Commercial Law shark, but that was when he was an infant (in the eyes of the law). Hub, in short, stands for “student.” HARRY SAMUELS “1 should hope to kiss a pig!” Freshman Play (1), Cheer Leader (2-3-4), Base¬ ball (3), Music Master Junior Class (3). To be perfectly just, B. C. H. S. should drape her colors in sombre black, at the thought of losing Harry. What sha ll we do without his melodious falsetto, and his miraculous dancing. And it’s plain to be seen that the school will be out of luck when it loses one of its most enthusiastic cheer leaders. Let’s trade places with Harry for a minute and give him three cheers! Forty-Seven RICHARD SAWTELLE “He didn’t gain, but was success.” Congress (1-2-3), Glee Club (1-2-3), Special Chorus (1-2), Panorama Reporter (1), Member G. O. Music Committee (2-3), Treasurer Junior Class (3), Secretary Senior Class (4), Editor- in-Chief of Panorama (4), President of High School Editors’ Association (4), Class Historian. It is such an undertaking to tell you all about Dick’s virtues! In the first place there are too many. Well, he has been a remarkable editor-in- chief of the Panorama. He has shown us what a school paper ought to be, and how it should be managed. To make a long story short, Dick has shown us how it is possible to be a good sport and at the same time do everything for B. C .H. S. GEORGE SCHANZ “He is never dull, never insincere.” “Schanz, the Grocer,” is the reputation which George will try to live up to and thus continue the long line of Schanz grocers. George’s future place of business is located somewhere in the wilds of the west-side. ISRAEL SCHWAB “The world knows nothing of this college man.” “Issde” runs the biggest little store in town, and as proprietor of the same is an informative suc¬ cess. It ' s a newspaper stand. Although rather small, “Issie” has a wonderful voice and he will surely find his calling as an auctioneer. OLGA SEBESTA “Light hair reflects radiance.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4), Girls’ Glee Club (1-2), Friday Club (3-4), Assistant Secretary (3), President (4), Friday-Congress Plays (3-4), Girls’ Varsity Basketball Team (4). Olga is the cleverest little maid in High School. The way she wears that cute little white apronette and the cute cap would—well. .! Olga is a drama¬ tic hit. In a few years, we shall see, “The Maid of Maids” direct from New York with the super New York cast intact, including the great Mile. Olga Sebesta. Here’s luck to the little dream! Forty-Eight FRANCES SIMMONS “She is everything as a secretary.” Chamber of Commerce (3-1), Auditorium Editor Panorama (4). Frances is the “short-hancl wonder.” As Auditor¬ ium reporter for the Panorama she proved herself a record-breaker. She set an example that will re¬ quire a lot of hard work for the next reporter to equal. Already we see visions of Frances coming back to visit us, and giving us a demonstration of lightning writing. Along with the ability she has • shown, Frances has always been a likeable com¬ panion and a good sport. KENNETH SIMONDS “He’s the jolliest, pluckiest fellow I know.” Debating Club (2-3-4), Life Club (3-4). “Plucky,” was the name that the Seniors tacked on “Ken;” they made no mistake for he has worked most energetically to get the most out of high school. He is bound for Dartmouth in the fall where if he keeps up his pace, he will be a “high flyer” on skiis. LE ROY SIMONS “Courteous and ever kind.” “Simy” is a quiet sort of fellow and credit must go to him for being a hard worker once in a while. Shorthand is his specialty and we think LeRoy would get the big brown derby as a war corres¬ pondent. EDWARD SIMPSON “Appearances are often deceiving.” Glee C lub (1), Congress (2-3), Life Club (4). Of the species—Sharkus Virgilus A thorough going, conscientious worker An honor student. Is headed toward Princeton. Forty-Nine 4 JANE SIMRELL “Sweet, pretty and so bewitching.” Literary Club. Jane is the sweet, serious type, so cheerful and energetic! Her pleasing personality and her help¬ ful, friendly attitude have impressed B. C. H. S. in general that she is very “nice.” But more than that can be said for Jane—she makes such lucious chocolate marshmallow fudge and is such a good sport. We hope Jane will think of all of us as we shall remember her. PERCY SMITH “The heavens thunder thy accomplishments.” Football (3 years), Captain (4), Basketball (2 years), Debating Club, Life Club, Chairman General School Interest Committee G. O. (4), Debating-Literary Club Play (3). All hands. Often called Palmy. Student at University of Pennsylvania. Thinks Philadelphia is a pretty good town. A big credit to his Alma Mater. MILDRED SPENCER “If only you live long enough.” Chamber of Commerce. Millie is a good scout and tries hard to be a good student. Com. Geog. got her “goat,” tho’, and forced her to get glasses to see through it. Mill likes the Chamber of Commerce and just loves to dance after the meetings. Her motto is “You’ll get there sometime if you live long enough.” ISABELLE SPRAGUE “Contentment is better than visions.” Isabelle may be quiet, And she may be quite demure, But who can tell in the future What fame for herself she’ll secure. Fifty CLIFFORD STARR “A rock in times of stress.” Life Club (4), Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4), Vice-President (3A), President (4), State Phy¬ sical Test 100%. Founder of the famous “Club.” Another of these early risers. Fond of walking to school. Wonder why? Some one’s guiding star. Registers much interest in commerce. ELEANOR STEVENS “A rooter for Syracuse.” Literary Club. Although Eleanor has been with us more than a year, she has been very reserved and has let only a few of us really know her. The few of us who have been so fortunate want to say that Eleanor is one fine girl, and has been a pleasing addition to our number. JENNIE STORTON “I like everything.” Zanor Writing Diploma (1), Captain Victory Girls (1), Girls’ Glee Club (2), Special Chorus (2-3-4), Chamber of Commerce. (3-4). Likes to dance—likes the fellows—likes to go to school—likes to work hard—likes molasses kisses —and lollipops—likes her work—likes to be oblig¬ ing—likes to be a shark, and she is—and in short, she likes everything. So she wrote home. CHRISTINE STURDEVANT “A friend in need.” Christine has studied hard during her sojourn in high school. You’ll find that she is a capable person who is always willing to help you when you need help most. She expects to go to Savage this summer and then she will teach for a year. Fifty-One E ST H E R SU E ' I ' TE RLEIN “A proficient business woman.” Esther is a prominent member of the Chamber of Commerce. As for popularity, well, wouldn t you like to know her? Sutte is an Eco. shark, but then, that doesn’t mean that she’s studious. She likes almond parfaits with marshmallow and whole almonds and outside of one (and he’s rather tall and large) she treats ’em all alike. ANTOINETTE THEOBALD “All women are naturally ambitious.” Vice-President Literary Club, President Literary Club, Literary-Debating Club Play (4), Mem¬ ber of Vigilance Committee, Exchange Editor of “Panorama,” Chairman Caps Gown Commit¬ tee Senior Class, Class Testator. Let us introduce Antoinette, Literary’s able and ambitious President. This young lady has been very active in school affairs during the past year. Antoinette is a good student and a conscientious worker and we are sure that she will always meet with success. The best o’ luck, Antoinette. ESTHER TREYZ “Raven locks and eyes like midnight pools of dark¬ ness.” But don’t be alarmed, there is nothing “spooky” about Esther. The gods favored Esther with black hair and eyes that all blonds are sure to envy and (sh-h), perchance to copy. Her sincerity has won her many friends. ALBERT VALADA z “A fellow of fine worth.” Orchestra, Special Chorus, Glee Club, Baseball. Valada recently spilled the dopster by making the varsity baseball team as center fielder, and has been burning up the sport scribes ever since with his sensational playing. He is an ideal student too, which accounts for his having his slips signed and in on Monday morning. A1 is going in the clothing business in Endicott. Eifty-Two KENNETH VOSBURY Hard as rock and yet true blue.” Football (2-3-4), Track (2-3-4), Simpson Medal (2), Track Captain (3), Sergeant-at-Arms Senior Class (4). The Senior Class was wise when they elected “Vos” for their Sergeant-at-Arms. Just one look at big husky “Vos” would make a Senior quake in his boots and promise to be good. This wonderful strength has been gained through years of labor on the football and track field. “Vos” is what you would call a mighty good fellow. He scored 24 V 2 points on this year’s Track Team. Another great accomplishment. HAROLD WALKER “Late flickereth the midnight oil Ere I be resting from my toil.” The “hardest plugger” in the class. Archimedes’ double. Proof plentiful of his own theorem, Although a man may be tall he’s never too big to grow bigger. A sub business man in this city. ALLYN WALTERS “One thing is forever good That one thing is success.” Honestly and truly Allyn is a bluffer but he gets by all right especially on exams. Though Allyn has not yet fallen for the ladies someday we ex¬ pect he will take an awful fall and that will be the end of Allyn Walters as far as anyone else is con¬ cerned. DALTON WARD “He is a man of great stature.” Let us introduce Dalton, laziest (so-called) and greatest member of our class. He has spent his years in a care-free, happy manner, seldom wor¬ rying about his lessons. We feel sure, however, that after a College Course, Dalton will be eligi¬ ble for all the great positions of the country. Fifty-Three BARBARA WARNER “She does everything—AM at once.” Literary Club. Sunny of Temper—that’s Bob! Neat of appearance—that’s Bob! Strong on crushes—that’s Bob! Smooth on worries—that’s Bob! Steady on the standard—that’s Bob! Sweet on Bill—that’s Bob! HELEN WAY “Silence is a noble virtue.” Helen is considered one of our quiet girls, but her many friends have assured me that she has fre¬ quent attacks of the giggles, which goes to prove that appearances are deceitful. Helen is uncertain at present as to her future career, but she is on her way to fame. I)E WITT WELLS “Contentment is my aim.” Congress, Life Club, Glee Club (1).

Fifty-Six T Class Cssap INTRODUCTION HIS year it seemed necessary to depart from the usual cours e pursued in the Class Essay because of the divers and varied characteristics of the Class of 1921, and to write four essays on different themes. Three of these essays are not what one would serious—but in the fourth and last one, I hope to convince four term as serious—out m vou that we are not all frivolity and froth. ESSAY ONE-PERSONALITY We all like to be told that we have personality; it rather flatters us; it is much the same as saying—“You are not like the usual nonde¬ script run of mankind;” and to gain the everlasting affection of any woman one has only to say—-“Oh you, you are different.” This so-called personality or individuality is rather hard to explain. Napoleon, we should say possessed, if nothing else, a distinct person¬ ality, the conqueror’s personality, and was inordinately proud of it. But he could not bear individuality in others. His inferiors—for all men were inferior to him, must be cast in the same mold, differing only in amount, manner and type of service which they rendered to him. We feel that a person of this type of individuality would be very hard to live with. Give us rather one who tho possessing personality, allows others also to have their share. Then there is the artistic and poetic individuality, the artistic ex¬ pressed on canvass, the poetic in living words. However, I often think that these modern free-verse writers, in trying to express their per¬ sonality, become a trifle too enthusiastic, and drown it in a rhvmeless, senseless hyperbole. Thus we may see that a personality is to be treated with care; it is a delicate thing at best and easily destroyed. So we of the graduating class should remember this; we should guard our individualities carefully so that in years to come, people may say of us—“Oh, those boys and girls were different.” ESSAY TWO—SUPERSTITION Superstition is not wanted in this world. No one claims it. When, after seeing Professor So-and-So pick up a pin from the floor you gently suggest that he is a trifle superstitious, he replies with a brisk bluster,—Oh, no! he merely is a bit nervous at the terrible waste of pins. He is Superstition’s child, yet he denies liis own father. Rather hard on Superstition. Yet we should be far from pitying Superstition. He enters our quiet little class spread and after sending one or more awav from the inviting table, sits down in a corner and chuckles at man’s gulibility. He takes an unholy interest in athletics. If some fair damsel doesn’t give the highly-tanned athlete a four leaf clover or other suitable talisman, there isn’t a chance of winning; he makes us twist our necks out of all rules of health and conduct in order to Fifty-Seven see the moon over our right shoulder. And if ever a dav weie made for a god, Friday, the thirteenth, was made for the god superstition. Many and sundry ways we have of observing it, but let an dare dem his observance, however little, of that day. Superstition is not always pleasant company, hut he is often amusing to others than his victims. If he has any duty to perform, it is a peculiar one—that of provid¬ ing universal humor by showing up man’s foibles. ESSAY THREE—SCHOOL SLANG In all languages there is a certain spicy element called Slang; and the English or Americanese, as some would have it, is no exemption; indeed, if anything, slang is more in evidence in America than in any other land. If you doubt this rather surprising statement I advise you to wander about in a school hall some day. The air is fairly peppered with “Hot Dogs!” and punctuated � vith “How Comes?” to say noth¬ ing of the exclamations and minor colloquialisms. One favorite ex¬ pression is “I got some paper offen a feller.” Sounds bad for the English department, I admit, but such an expression is more or less a habit and therefore a bit difficult to do away with. You see that we are rather prone to excuse this so-called slans but I doubt if we should do it. Young people when together are so interested that they seldom stop to choose their words carefully; and so we should inoculate the student’s mind against these popular expressions. Tf no “Hot Doq-s” or “Gee Whizzes” dwelt there, they would not jump out at unguarded moments. And so comes my message—Let us help weed out the slang in our minds, so that it shall not be said that one of the major courses of study at our Alma Mater was a well defined one in American Slang. ESSAY HOUR—MEN ANT) WOMEN WANTED Yes, that is always true. There is always a place in the world for men and for women. I will not take the time to tell of all the places waiting for us, and which we alone can fill, but what T want to sav is that we are wanted and we should prepare ourselves for this work to come in the best possible manner. It is a call to service which we hear; a call to humble ourselves, to become the apprentice of Learning; a call to be patient and unselfish, and to divide our education with our fellow men. We must share in the will to serve until it shall become our motive to good living. “This is the true call to service—not. ‘The world is waiting for you—come and help it:’ but ‘Are you fit to serve? Do von know how to live your own life? Either religion or science may be for you the city of God. Tf the ramparts need rebuilding, take counsel of those ancient men who after long captivityfi raised asrain the walls of Jeru¬ salem. Every man built in front of his own house.” —Anna McHarg. Fifty-Eight Class $oem WEALTH I stopped along a white-fenced road And watched the cars race by Until they formed mere shapeless specks Against a silent sky. Near at my side a painted stream Sailed colorfully down As a dying sun his tribute brought,— A flowing, glittering crown. A mountain barrier kept stern guard, And far beyond its roof A long blue range of dreamy hills Held mistily aloof, Their fields well rowed with waving corn, Their summits graced with pine; And though no title deed I held, Those hills were mine,—all mine! I owned no house nor farm nor land, My wealth was not in gold, But I was rich as few are rich— Rich,—and with wealth untold; In truth do not all things belong To those who truly love them— The mountains, fields, and golden stream, Nay,—even the heavens above them? There is a palace by a distant glen. Its entrance hidden by a cool green arch, A leafy arch Of oak and larch Where glorious birds rehearse. A city lies within my narrow ken, Where heedless crowds stream past the buildings high, Great towers high, Friends of the sky, But with trespass warnings terse! Fifty-Nine I know the owner of the great estate He lives indifferent to his forest life, Inspiring life With beauty rife— He has not eves that see. An oriole often sings there with his mate, Not all concealed by the shelter of his trees, In the tremulous trees That sigh to each breeze, And I know he sings for me! Some think to keep the cities for their own, And think to gain contentment with their gold, Dazzling gold Of luring mold That does not bring content. And so they live half-useless lives alone, While some regard their work with envious eyes, Unseeing eyes Of the worldly wise, Eyes that are downward bent. But there is a wealth of possession That all ye, 0 friends, can hold; Know ye, that the only content-giving wealth Is that which cannot be sold. Look, from the waves of the ocean At a city built by the sea; Behold the life on its wondrous streets,— For ye may its owners be! —Ruth Lull Sixty Class! irtstorp LOWLY and indistinctly the soft, mellow lights faded and then all was in darkness. There was not a sound except for the clear _ strains of the orchestra as it played, “School days, school days, dear old golden rule days, Readin’ an’ writin’ an’ rithm’tic.’’ So the melody ran on and eagerly I sat on the edge of my chair in a loge of the old Strand Theatre. Suddenly the curtains parted and the words, “School Days” ap¬ peared as a title on the screen. “School Days” was considered one of the greatest photo plays yet produced under the personal direction of the great David W. Griffith. It has taken the theatrical world by storm because of its simple, pure, yet hilarious and interesting man¬ ner of presentation. The acclamation with which it had been received prompted me more than ever to witness this wonderful production. Nor was it this alone that caused me to attend its showing; for the lead¬ ing role was taken by Jack Bloomer, the president of my class when I graduated from B. C. H. S., and it was he who suggested and threaded the main plot of the story. At this moment the cast of characters was flashed upon the screen. There appeared the names of Nathan Williams acted, by Jack Bloomer, and Rachel Merrilees playing opposite him in the role of Marjorie Miller. Numerous others who supported the principals were unknown to me. The scene was laid sometime, somewhere, in and about the high school career of our Nathan. As the picture spread itself before us we observed the assemblage of a high school student body on the first day of school. Immediately my thoughts ran back to the days when I attended high school along with my friend who so well acted the part in the picture. I recalled the dreads and fears that we all had on the first day of school of entering and passing through the building; the fears that at the next corner some Senior would be waiting with a paddle or something to demolish or almost end the lives of us, green freshmen. Then with what satisfaction I remember how Miss Henry would appear among us like magic and confide with us in our fears. As I was thus occupied the orchestra again struck up the tune “School Days,” and before us on the screen a very pleasant appearing teacher, evidently of some authority, came out of a class room. She walked down the hall to round a corner and find half a dozen or more boys trying to shoot crap, all intensely interested. The teacher stopped abruptly and in her person I suddenly recognized Mrs. Carver, who was Dean of the sophomores when I went to B. C. H. S. I laughed out¬ right at this, for I recalled how it actually happened one day when Jack Bloomer, Ted Deyo, Dutch King and myself and several others did attempt a game in the back hall. I thought to myself how well Jack Sixty-One did to remember all these incidents and moreover to 1 elate them on the screen in the amazing likeness with which they happened in h . C. H. S. and then to take a part in them himself, a thing of which i had never dreamed. I wondered how perfectly he could have recalled these affairs and then suddenly several things came to my mind which occui- red in our second year. As sophomores we supported, one hundied per cent, the Victory .Boys and Girls, each giving live dollais; then the Armistice was signed and we rejoiced tor one whole day that the boys were coming home. Suddenly I was startled from my momentary reverie by the rat¬ tling beats of the drum. The picture on the screen now showed stu¬ dents flocking to the windows to watch the passing of several aeio- planes. This brought to my mind how, as juniors, we all did Hock to the windows to see the aeroplanes which took part in the transcon¬ tinental race. I certainly do remember how hard it was to study and keep our minds off the really interesting things that went on outside. As Juniors in B. C. H. S. our class was organized with Fran Wheaton as President. If I recall correctly, under his regime we gave a picnic and dance and among other things took part in the Senior color and class days. My attention was now drawn to the screen to follow the plot of the story, which had so interested me except when a certain prank in the picture would cause me to recall an incident ot a similar happening when I attended B. C. H. S. Now the photoplay led to graduation and to the cap and gown exercises. Here Jack again took the part of Nathan Williams as President of the graduating class. How much the class looks like that of 1921 when Jack actually did present the class gift to the school! Then I r emembered how Mr. Hummer gave the acceptance and how he, our principal, enumerated the accomplishments of the class, and how he delivered the charge to the Seniors almost through our commencement, rather “finisliment” as Hr. King had told us. At last we were graduated and were congratulated on all sides, and we expressed our thanks to our teachers and deans. “School days, school days, dear old golden rule days.” Again the sweet melody came to my ears and 1 softly hummed it to myself. Our friend, Nathan on the screen had also graduated and had now retreated to a hidden corner with his best friend, Marjorie. The curtains which had parted seemingly such a long time before were now drawn together and the orchestra was playing “Victories be to B. C. H. S. ” and the soft, mellow lights were gradually and slowly becoming brighter. I had seen the photoplay “School Days” and had recalled some of the sweetest memories of my days in B. C. H. S.—Richard W. Sawtelle. Sixty-Two Class iPtropljecpi 1921 A FTER spending five years on tlie planet called earth, the class of 1921 being unusual and having initiative, decided to do some¬ thing different. About this time the famous scientist Hugh Pry- herch with his noted assistant George Schanz, discovered the means of transportation to Mars, said means being a huge rocket. They persuad¬ ed Joe Linalian to make the experiment in the rocket. At the first attempt Joe was blown to pieces but the eminent Dr. Lester Cole with the aid of his skillful nurse Evelyn Powell, managed to patch Joe up so you’d never know what had happened. Then after the second trip, Joe came back with such favorable reports that the class 1921 decided to estab¬ lish a colony up there. 1 was up there the other day and 1 recognized some of my former classmates. Presiding over the members was a committee. The chairman was no other than Ted Deyo. On his advisory board were Grace Fields, David Levene and Ruth Lull. Ted made a good chairman but couldn’t get over trying to bluff the rest of his committee. And they wouldn’t be bluffed. When Mr. Deyo found other duties more agreeable or pressing, Helen Hennessey ruled in his stead with a rod of iron. And none dared to disobey her for if one did she called the Chief of Police, DeForest Parce and his fine policemen, Israel Schwab, DeWitt Wells and George Perkins, the latter of whom always responded unless lie was playing baseball. Margaret Eiglmiy ruled over a board of aldermen composed of Gertrude Griffin, Alma Humphries and Louis Enswortli who, poor soul, looked scared to death among all these women. One of the principal places of interest was the large, spacious hotel, owned and managed by Walter LeBaron. When I saw him he hap¬ pened to be trying to find a scheme by which to entice travelers. As yet no one stayed at his hotel but he was hopeful and was thinking np an unusual menu while his efficient chef, Dutch King, stood by and guided him. Across the street stood a large church which unexpectedly I found open. As I entered I heard a familiar voice leading the chorus. When I turned around I beheld Elsie Coons as director, while Wilma Lester played the organ. But imagine my astonishment when I heard Elsie Atwood delivering a lecture. She said to draw the crowds she was giving away free copies of Hazel Whitner’s book written with the co-operation of Marion O’Mara, entitled “How To Be Happy Tho’ Married. ’ ’ Right next door to this church was another, also open. As I entered I heard a voice come thundering to mine ears. When I looked up I be¬ held Jack Gates speaking for all he was worth against going to church Sixty-Three next door. He said lie couldn’t understand why people preferred to li sten to a woman lecturer. While he was saying this up rose i on is Gitlitz and with mighty eloquence defended the cause of the women. Georgia Rath was the lone singer in this church. On the corner of the street, high on a soap box stood Bella Disen- liouse addressing a crowd. She seemed to be getting a good collection too. Near her stood Anna Bobal, maker of Bobal’s Ifinament, guar¬ anteed to kill or cure. She had as a helper Doris Hamilton. Suddenly I beheld a great electric sign. It read “Miss Elna Pier¬ son, here tonight with an all star cast consisting of Der ( rockei lead¬ ing man, Mary Gillson ingenue, and Minnie Egnor, vampiie. Right near here was a huge tent. As I walked by I heard the barker calling loudly. The voice surely was familiar and suddenly I recognized Harry Samuels. Here is what he said, “Ladies and Gentlemen, your last opportunity tonight to see the wonder of Mars. Pat Rosa’s, Big Show, the largest and only circus on Mars. We have this evening ' the fierce animal trainer, Kenneth Simonds, the two most graceful trapeze performers Anna Brounstein and Richard Sawtelle, while Sarah Andrus amazes all with her two wheeled bicycle. The famous equestrienne Margaret Doyle is also here tonight. Ladies and Gents, we have a side show, chief among our attractions being the tallest man on Mars, Dalton Ward. The fierce wild man, Percy Smith, will give one performance also.” A short distance away Elma Harrow was conducting a campaign to persuade people to eat at Minnie Morris’, High Glass Restaurant, where she, Minnie, has as her charming waitresses Ella Blair, Dorothy Lyon, and Mildred Brokaw. There are many manufacturing concerns which hope for large busi¬ ness some time. Walter Bowen manufactures jam and his chief tester is Ruth Atwater, who sees that it is sweet enough. Margaret Bromi- ley now conducts a peanut factory. She seems to be doing a rushing business. Glenn Brewer owns a factory which produces illuminated golf balls, while Ferguson Ferenson is the name of a large steel corp¬ oration. The owners are growing large,, too, from the profits. Bernard Barnes is now a well known organizer, while Jack Bloomer is a famous organ builder. On the main street is a large modiste shop. The proprietors are Margaret Aklerson and Florence Dorward. There is a large high school there. Emily Dougal acts as principal and chief among her teachers are Alfred Blakeney, physics teacher, Donald Drum- tra, tutor in chemistry, Hazel Madigan, aesthetic and Esther Lee folk¬ dancing teachers, Ralph Jackson, Spanish instructor. Christine Ellett makes tanks, gasoline ones, and Mary Englebert is her head dispenser of gasoline. Her chief duty, seems to he in follow¬ ing Adelaide Atwell for Adelaide is Ted Deyo’s chauffeur. Sixty-Four Ellen Carmen has grown strong and lias made a fortune raising onions while Margaret O’Donnell, one of the best dentists on Mars to¬ gether with her assistant Ruth Perkins is making money or would be if Dorothy Edgecomb weren’t such a skillful rival. Margaret Foley is conducting a refuge for homeless pets. She can’t seem to find any stray cats or dogs, but Harriet Barber and Robert Badger make good searchers for them. Ronald Bloomer runs a Spanish library. Chief among his works are a “A History of the Discovery of Mars by Marian Blewer,” “Lec¬ tures on Prohibition by Helen Barnes,” “Social Etiquette for Ladies Gentlemen,” written by Joseph Levine. William Geder is now proprietor of a daily newspaper, the only and largest one on Mars. Frances Simmons conducts the printing depart¬ ment for him, and Barbara Warner, Eleanor Stevens and Leon Gallo¬ way are reporters. His advertising manager is Leona Ruoff, assisted by Patricia Quinlan. The staff photographers are Willis False and Lloyd Allen while Edward Hutchings supplies the funny sheet. Wini¬ fred Mooers writes the advice to be lovelorn, and Lloyd Colston reads the proof. Naomi Macomber and Charles Mossew have discovered the native language of Mars. They claim that they can’t quite make it out them¬ selves and are going to Miss Brown for assistance. Harry Nelson with Dwight Merrill as head assistant, is conducting a charm school for girls. They see m to be doing nicely. Anna English now tunes pianos. As yet there aren’t many on Mars, but she lives in hope. Raymond Gorham is running a large tailer establishment. He in¬ creases his trade by having as his models Davenport Brown and Dan McAvoy. Ruth Foster furnishes governesses. When a patron requires a very stern one she recommends Hazel Galvin, while if they want one who is meek she calls Lois Holcomb. Down the street I came to a little shop. Outside it said “Fortunes told here.” I went in and there sat Maude Laughlin, Ellen Kolb and Harold Landre waiting patiently. I decided not to stay so I turned around to leave and out walked the famous fortune teller. Who was it but Marion Hickey. She didn’t recognize me so I discreetly de¬ parted. Right next door to the fortune teller was a brightly lighted shop out¬ side of which a sign read “Miss Anna McHarg, MHender of Broken Hearts.” I noticed that all of her patients seemed to come away satisfied. 5 Sixty-Five Across the street was a large hospital owned by Allyn Waiters. The head dietitian was Paul Wright. The head doctor was Hugh WJIumm. When Ralph Weniger was blown to pieces in one of Herbert Mussel . chemistry experiments, they say Hugh put him all hack together and not a piece was lost. On the corner at night Bob Woodruff conducts a campaign to get back the rights of downtrodden husbands. On the other corner Mil¬ dred Johnson is delivering a political speech rallying all to the sup¬ port of the great social worker, Mary Lawrence for next mayor. Genevieve Hackett is a famous fashion originator. She has as her models Louise Killen and Florence Hanley. Esther Lee is running a dancing school in which she, personally gives exhibition dances. Her school is always crowded. But lately, Rachel Merrilees has opened one in opposition and she has as her chief attraction Hazel Madigan. Wallace Clark is the most famous cork cutter on Mars while Leslie Cizek now owns a gang of chimneysweeps. As I started to cross the street a motorcycle whizzed by me. W hen 1 jumped back I heard a man say “There goes that facous racer, Wen¬ dell Foote. He’ll kill someone some day.” For a moment I thought that I was to be that one. William Risi was directing a gang of plumbers. They say lie is so wealthy that he is on the way of being the “John H.” of Mars. The movies have had their claim. They have attracted Isabelle Sprague, Esther Sutterlie, and Nellie Preston. Howard Morgan is now a master marble cutter, his specialty being tomb stones. As yet he has had no opportunity to show his skill. But his assistants, Maurice Millard and Thomas Page claim that that he can deliver the goods. Marie Ring owns a large factory in which is made a famous complexion cream. Jane Simrell is her business manager and they seem to be doing well. Harold Moore is a jeweler. He sells mostly diamond rings. Some say that this is because Mars has such a lovely setting. Jennie Stor- ton is a second Evangeline Booth, conducting a home for songless canaries. Mildred Spencer is a maker of candy. She sells it with the aid of Clifford Starr, Helen Way, Esther Trevz and Hot Goodwin. George Gorman is an optician while Rodney Hotchkin supplies all the doctors with surgical instruments. Helen Orford works as a social secretary to the committee in gov¬ erning. Antoinette Theobald is now a strike agitator. . When she can’t persuade people to strike, she sells copies of Hot Quinn’s book, “How to Overcome Bashfulness.” Sixty-Six Down the street apart from the other places of amusement I saw “The Little Theatre.” Billeted there were the great Shakesperian actors, Edward Simpson, Olga Sebesta and Harold Westfall. A one man open car, owned and managed by Harold Landre went down the street. In the car was Albert Valada’s famous baseball team with the renowned battery consisting of Harold Walker, pitcher, and George Perkins catcher. Mable Gorton is running a training school for nurses. In training at present are Hazel Freiburg, Evelyn Gerowe and Doris Hamilton. The patients after being under the regime of these nurses always begin to sing “I don’ wanna get well.” Kenneth Vosbury has discovered the North and South poles on Mars. At present, lie and his companion, LeRoy Simons are searching for an east and west pole. We wish them luck. As I started back to earth I was besought by two rivals. Each tried to outdo the other in describing the adventures of riding in his rocket. Upon closer inspection I recognized Emory Bliss and Paul Grady. I jumped into the nearer one and came straight here.—Mary O’Hare. Sixty-Seven J|onor H tubettt£ of tf )t of 1921 Grace Fields. David Levene. Ruth Lull. Elma Darrow. Harold Walker.

Dull heavy clouds were collecting From no-where, a borderless mass, An aimless army of vapors, Their shield of unpolished lead cast. All retreats of the sun were covered— The last blue disfigured with gray, Far fled was the gold on the water That had lighted the wavelets’ way; And the range of hills in the distance Was almost lost in the mist, For dimness enveloped the tallest pines Whom lately the sun had kissed. Now silence—deep ominous silence Fell down from the o’er-laden sky, For a moment the tall trees, astonished, Ceased tossing their lithe branches high; The petulant waves grew quiet, A chorus of robins grew still. Now quickly, without any warning, Came over the high-looming hill Driven by unseen commanders Swift on the wings of the storm A legion of bill’wy cloud soldiers Dark with e’erchanging form, Shooting tiny bullets of raindrops On the river’s defenceless tide, But in the face of missiles swift The waves from side to side Rose up with bold defiance And laughed with a mirthless glee,— But the tide was pulling them downward To the undefiable sea.

With good music and plenty of cider and pumpkin pie, “a most enjoyable time was had by all.” To live up to her name the Club was active in literary affairs dur¬ ing the fall term, the most important of which was the annual Lit.-De- bating Play. The success of “Nothing But The Truth” was remark¬ able, and the Club is proud of her part in making it what it was. At the spring election the following officers were elected: President . Antoinette Theobold Vice-President. Dorothy Goodwin Secretary . Ruth Atwater Assistant Secretary. Annis Shingledegker Treasurer. Mary Crossley Sergeants-at-Arms. Barbara Warner and Dorothy Dyer Faculty Members.Miss Leary and Miss Pierce T HIS year has brought unusual success to Literary Club. At the beginning of the year the following officers were elected to pilot the club through the fall term: Eighty-Five Among those who have taken part on the numerous programs en¬ joyed by the girls are Dorothy Goodwin, who sang; Grace Shapley, who recited and played the violin; Marion Swayze, who gave leadings; Mai ion Doyle, who played the piano; and Barbara Warner and Ruth Atwater, who played a haimonious( ' ?) duet. In February there was a covered luncheon at school after which the girls attended the Ithaca basketball game. Later the had a good time when they hiked to Buttermilk Falls and enjoyed a bacon bat. One of the red letter days for the club during the past term was when Mr. Tower spoke on the subject of the one-act play. Inspired by his talk, the girls are planning to give a one-act play when a suit- alile opportunity is presented. The last, social event of the year was the Annual Literary (dub Ban¬ quet at which time was terminated a year of enjoyable, progressive activity.

We have gone on making friends and keeping them, for what is a club for if not for making friends. AY e have worked and played together and though we may not seem to have much now, the future will show us what our work has accom¬ plished. In the fall our club elected Mary O’Hare, president and from the many plans formed at that time, some materialized, others did not. But Friday Club as usual managed to get great deal of jollity, friendship and achievement out of things during the term. On different occasions, namely, frankfort roasts, theatre parties, covered luncheons and rush parties, as well as during our regular programs where we studied American literature, everyone was present and “a good time was had by all.” Then in February, the club began its spring regime under the able leadership of Olga Sebesta. This term too, seemed full of gala and merry affairs. First on our programme were the rush and theatre parties. Then came our annual prize speaking contest for eighth grade girls in the city schools. It took place before a large audience and was far more successful than ever before. Friday Club is very proud to claim that such a contest was carried on under her auspices. A great deal of the credit belongs to Miss Tnez Abies, who trained the speakers. I believe the next important event was the play put on by Friday Club and her brother, Congress. Anyone who saw the play can assure you that it was the best ever. Too much credit can not be given to Mr. Donald M. Tower, who coached it. It was everything that it should be, and more. After that came dances and parties, while every night in meeting a definite literary program was carried out. And finally the term closed with the annual Friday Club Banquet, also a famous affair. And now the year is up. The time has come when we must ask our¬ selves if this term in our club has been worth the time we have put into it. Have our efforts been useless? I think not! It may not seem to matter so much now, to think that we have been sister members in a true club, a club whose members stand for each other but later on, when in a few years, perhaps we are out in the world, and we classify the wearer of the little arrow shaped pin with the H. S. F. C. on it, as a member of our own club, then will we feel that our motto, Non nobis solum, (Not for ourselves alone), may be a true motto throughout our whole lives. Mary O’Hare, Secretary.

The aim of the Club—to acquaint commercial students with all phases of busi¬ ness life and to establish friendly relations between the members and the business men of the city—has certainly been carried out. The evening meetings have been addressed by business men who are authorities, among whom are Mr. William Engle of the “Morning Sun,” who spoke on “Newspaper Work;” Mr. William McLean, who gave us an interesting talk on “Salesmanship”; and Mr. Carl Wevat of the Binghamton Chamber of Commerce, who spoke on “Credit.” Several members of the Boys’ Club gave an instructive shoe-making demonstration, showing the whole process required to make a pair of shoes. The Club also enjoyed trips to the “Morning Sun” and to the Bussell Spaulding Bakery. On December 9, an exhibit of the work of the Commercial Depart¬ ment was held, which was largely attended by members of the Parent- Teachers’ Association and business men of the city. The climax of the year was the annual Chamber of Commerce banquet. The speak¬ ers were Mr. Kelly, Mr. C. Mossman McLean, Mr. Paul Lomax of the State Department, Miss Gertrude Wilbur, and Miss Marion O’Mara. Ninety Congress!

Under the leadership of our capable president, Ken¬ neth Stone, a definite program of debate work lias been carried out,—and we are glad to say that interest in debating, the purpose foi which the club was formed,—is steadily increasing among the membeis of Congress. On May fifth the Congress-Fridav Clubs gave their annual pLiy, which was one of the most important events of the whole school year, and which met with unusual success. Congress is truly proud to have participated in the production of such a play. Another important event took place on May 13, when Congress and Friday Clubs had a most enjoyable party in the gym, which served to strengthen the bond of friendship and co-operation that has so long existed between the two clubs. With the annual Congress banquet, the ( ' lub year was terminated,— a year of work, advancement and enjoyment that every Congressman looks back upon with pride, joy, and satisfaction. (Continued from page 71) Then I heard just beyond my vision With faint little chirps, yet plain, A chorus of “peepers,” swamp-born, Who were singing in the rain, And the raindrops’ drums kept time While the tree-toads did untiringly sing— And T listened with dreamy abandon To this sleepy shower of the Spring. As late as T he ard, the peepers sang Their monotonous cheerful song, The incessant patter of drops on the water Sounded drowsily all the night long.

In the fall term, under the leadeiship of Donald Drumtra, a most interesting series of discussions was carried out, which involved topics of general interest to the High School fellow. Although this was an experiment, so to speak, the discussions appealed to the members of the Club, for they had an opportunity to express themselves, their opinions on important school questions. Among the topics chosen were, “What makes a man a success ? ’ and IIov im¬ portant should athletics be in school life. ” At the spring election Truman Lacey was chosen president, and through his efforts many lively meetings were enjoyed. During the past term the fellows were fortunate enough to hear some interesting talk on various subjects. Mr. McClelland spoke on the conditions in India. His appeal to the members of Lige Club to raise a part of the funds sufficient to send a relief worker to India, culminated in such an effort being made, which proved very successful,—we are glad and proud to say. Another interesting talk was given by Mr. Hummer, who urged the fellows to have the courage to back up their convic¬ tions, and not to let the other fellow’s actions determine what they should do. “Master yourself,” were the terms he used, and may our conduct show him that we have tried to carry out the message he gave us! The big event of the year for Life Club occurred on April 22, 1921, when the Annual Life Club Ladies’ Night was held in the High School. Its success was most pleasing and it served as a very suitable climax to a year of unprecedented activity in the affairs of the High School Life Club. Ninety-Four Ninety-Five w n ®ta engltefc department ITH the opening of the fall term last September there was in¬ augurated a new department in connection with the English work at Central High School. This is the Oral English work, in charge of Mr. Donald M. Tower. Instruction in technical Oral English is given once each week to each student in the third and fouitli years. In the third year the work covers the elements of correct speech, pronounciation, enunciation, breathing, tone production and the cor¬ rection of minor speech defects. In the fourth year word values, methods of emphasis, special devices in argumentative speech and the dramatic interpretation of literature are studied. The coaching and directing of all plays, debates, public speaking contests and special programs were handled entirely by this depart¬ ment. During the year just finished the following public exercises have been given: the Carol S. Meeker Declamation contest in November, the Harvard Public Speaking contest in I ebruar) and the Weeks Public Speaking contest Monday of commencement week in June. On January 7th the three act farce comedy, Nothing But The Truth” in which William Collier starred for so long, was presented by students of the Literary and Debatin g Clubs. Congress and Friday Clubs successfully gave Margaret Anglin’s famous New York and London success, “Billeted,” on the evening of May 5tli. The annual Binghamton-Elmira debate occurred April 15th, and for the first time in four years Binghamton was victorious, winning the unan¬ imous decision of the judges. On April 28th occurred the annual Civic Club debate for girls, which was won by the negative side. Next year Mr. Tower expects to give two courses in debating and a course in dramatics and stage management to about forty students of special ability in histrionic fields. Admission to these courses will be by try-out before the instructor. MEEKER CONTEST November, 1920 Martin T. Deyo Donald Whitney Emory Bliss Jack Bloomer Earl Bull First Prize.

More pupils have been enrolled and passed the ex¬ aminations in the theoretical classes in music than ever before. More pupils have been working for Regents credits for outside music prac¬ tice than ever before. More and more pupils who expect to make music their vocation in life are beginning to realize the value of these courses offered in Rudiments, Melody Writing and Harmony which will shorten their courses of study in any Conservatory of Music they may wish to attend by at least one year and possibly more. Then, too, our musical organizations have grown in size and qual¬ ity of work performed. They are called to assist in all sorts of func¬ tions. Scarcely an event takes place in our student life in which the music department is not asked to help liven things up with a little music.. For both plays the orchestra provided music between the acts. And all the debates and prize speaking contests were assisted by music from some one of our organizations. On the evening of May 26th was given the annual concert by the combined musical clubs of the school. Numbers by the special chorus of one hundred and fifty voices and the orchestra nearly twice its former size, were very well received. On the program were readings by Miss Adelaide Casey and Miss Mary Crossley; vocal solos by the Misses Inez West, Anna Mungle and Louise Ixillen; violin solo by Mr. Lynn Bogart; numbers by the Male Quartette, the Double Mixed Quartette and Boys’ Glee Club, which were very well done. Next year we want to organize a school band to furnish music at our athletic events, as well as those held indoors. To have this we need new instruments and some more players. The school will furnish the in¬ struments so it is up to every person in the school who can play a band instrument to come out for the band next year. ACH year, as it passes, reveals to us that music is taking a place of ever increasing importance in the life of our school. And this year, just drawing to a close, has been no exception One Hundred Three SPECIAL CHORUS ORCHESTRA One Hundred Four One Hundred Five ■Srt department tising, Elementary Representation and Elementary Design, there have been added, by Mr. Doty, two new courses, namely, Figure Drawing and Advanced Drawing. The Figure Drawing class has progressed from characoal and pen¬ cil renderings of casts and the proportions of the figure to sketching the model in resting positions and also in action. Posters are made in black and white or color from these sketches and applied to adver¬ tising the events and activities of the school; for example, the Union- Endicott base-ball game was advertised by such posters. Many mem¬ bers of this class entered the poster contests which were conducted repectively by the Humane Society and by the Flower Shop, the latter being for the benefit of the Broom Tuberculosis Hospital. There are comparatively few Figure Drawing courses in the High Schools of New York State, and we should feel proud of the fact that one of these courses is being conducted successfully in B. 0. H. S. The Advanced Drawing class consists of the study of pictures in¬ cluding their composition, technique and color. The students make drawings of landscapes, figures used in landscapes, and also interiors. The medium used is either pencil, tempera, or water color. This class i s likewise a success as you will readily agree if you have noticed the commendable sketches and paintings that are exhibited in Room 325. On the next or opposite page, are reproductions of drawings and paintings which have been made in the Drawing Department this last year. The work represents all of the courses. Too much praise and credit can not be given Mr. Doty for his untir¬ ing efforts in bringing the department up to its present standard of excellency. The Ait Oourses have much to offer.

To this end several courses have been set up with a high standard both of the academic work and the special lines included in the particular courses. To meet the particular needs of the industrial activities of the city the In¬ dustrial Course was established. While it is not possible to cover all the trades and industries in the work of this department, we do aim to give such general courses as to cover many of the fundamental pro¬ cesses and principles common to most trades. At present the department is giving three years’ work with a promise of the fourth year in the very near future when the equipment for a machine shop may be had. Money for this purpose is included in the request now before the Council for repairs and equipment for the schools. Under the present organization the first year includes woodshop and cabinet making with correlated mechanical drawing twice each week. The second year is sheet metal and mechanical drawing, while the third year includes printing and wood turning, patternmaking and foundry practice with mechanical drawing twice each week as in the other eoursese. These three years will be followed by a good course in machine shop another year if the funds for the equipment are allowed. Throughout the course the work is thoroughly practical and in keeping with the best principles and practices of the time. It gives the boy a good practical foundation in mechanics and will admit to the state schools at Oswego and Buffalo, Mechanics Institute, etc., where he may specialize and continue his preparation at a very small expense. These schools offer one, two and three year courses in machine shop, electricity, automobile, architecture, concrete construction, etc., which give preparation sufficient to enter any of these lines as an efficient productive citizen. The Homemaking Course intends first of all to prepare the girls for the best and noblest work a woman can do—happy, successful man¬ agement of her own house. To this end a full four year course is now in operation under the State aided plan. To give such preparation the course covers foods, clothing, home-planning, home-management, household mechanics, interior decoration, costume design, millinery, dietetics, nursing and child welfare. These classes are now being filled to the limit each term and with the new organization it looks as if a large number of girls will take advantage of the opportunities offered them in the department of Homemaking.

The Central High School plans to give these young people the best possible prepa- One Hundred Nine One Hundred Ten ealtb department NE of tiie first assembly announcements of tlie year made known to us tlie results of the State Physical Ability Tests for the spring of 1920. Binghamton finished first in both the Senior and Junior Divisions of Section 1, winning many ce rtificates for high class scores. We were especially proud of the twelve High School per¬ fect score men—Charles Blanchard, Laurence Cline, James Cox, Robert Douglass, Richard Floyd, Maxwell Merrill, Francis Sherwood, Clif¬ ford Starr, Francis Walsh, Wilmont Weir, Ralph Weniger and Ken¬ neth Vosbury. Harold Morton, a freshman this year, also made a perfect score. Both this physical ability test and our regular medical examina¬ tions seem to prove that the students of B. C. H. S. are receiving prac¬ tical education in health. Never before have our records shown so few students below the normal in physical fitness. This year has been one of ceaseless activity in the department of physical education and one of great triumph for organized school ath¬ letics. The football team of 1920 proved itself the champion of the State. Playing against Walton, Scranton, Utica, Rome, Norwich, Elmira, Union-Endicott and Flushing, it piled up ' a total score of 359 with only Norwich scoring against it with (i points. These star per¬ formers were Edwin King, Rodney Van Atta, Kenneth Vosbury, Joseph Barberson, Francis Stack, Gerald Rosa, Leroy Kelley, Wilmont Weir, Nicholas Rieg, Forest Swingle, Percy Smith, Leon Kennedy, Willard Hamlin, Herbert Jackson, Derwood Crocker, and Charles Canfield. Both the girls’ and boys’ basketball team had most successful sea¬ sons, each closing with a percentage of 750. The baseball team has started the season with a good showing, having won two of the three games so far played. Many are the trophies, to say nothing of the points, brought home by the members of our 1921 Track Team—Ralph Weniger, Leroy Kel¬ ley, Kenneth Vosbury, Guy Maples, Harold Leonard, Frederick Sex- smith, Francis Sherwood, Hugh Prytherch, Grayson Hinman and Tru¬ man Lacey. With the season incomplete, these men have made the following record: Cornell Meet—B. C. H. S. second with 24 points. Alfred Meet—B. C. H. S. first with 38 points. Syracuse Meet—B. C. H. S. first with 26 2 points. At Alfred, Kelley broke the record in the 220 yard hurdles, Hinman in the mile run and Weniger in the running broad jump. One Hundred Eleven In March an exhibition of gymnastic and athletic work was given for the Parent-Teachers’ Association. The students were responsive and the work of all classes was excellent. Much interest was shown in the remarkable exhibition given by the Life Saving Corps, composed of Willard Hamlin, Morgan Bennett, Gardiner Bump, Walter Truax, Kenneth Thompson and Harold Everett. As the culmination of a full year’s program, the High School Sec¬ tion of a three days’ play festival was held at Johnson Field June tenth, at which time the entire student body appeared in mass drill. Other features of the program were mimetic exercises and folk dancing by the girls and a wand drill by the boys, in addition to the Simpson Ath¬ letic meet, which is an annual affair. We believe that this interest in physical activities is a strong fac¬ tor in the life of Binghamton Central High School as an institution, and in the lives of the students as individuals who are being made to realize the need of a “healthy mind in a healthy body.” B. C. H. S. stands for education in health and gives credit for accomplishment in this very important branch of “education for the needs of life.” GIRLS’ VIGILANCE COMMITTEE One Hundred Twelve FOOTBALL TEAM Coach Arthur Hirst Manager Francis Wheaton Captain Percy Smith Assistant Manager Harley Salisbury Stack King Barberson Rosa Van Atta LETTER MEN VOSBURY Canfield ( -ROCKER Jackson Smith Swingle Weir Hamlin K ELLEY Kennedy Rieg One Hundred Fourteen Varsttp jfoottiaU ED SiPHI Li .-. A ID somebody say “football?” Then that somebody must have surely mentioned Binghamton—for didn’t we have a champion- _ ship team this year? We surely did and one the like of which has never been seen before in the history of the school. From the second day after school commenced, the thirty-five or forty men who made the squad were out every night, rain or shine till just before Thanksgiving, working to put a championship team into the field and they did. With ten letter men back on their jobs, little trouble was experienced by Coach Hirst in picking the first team. “Bus” Kelly and “Pat” Rosa held down the ends of the line to perfection. “Pat’s” place was taken by Nick Rieg, who returned to school later in the season and who played his same old 100% game of last year. Pat was substitute at quarter. We shall never forget the splendid way you handled the U. E. game, Gerald. Forrest Swingle and Capt. Perce Smith filled the tackle positions so well that our opponents found they just simply had to go around if they wanted to gain and even then they didn’t. “Kibby” Jackson stopped up one hole at guard with those stone wall tactics that the opposite side soon found were impos¬ sible to climb over or break down. Derwood Crocker, school heart- breaker, and Bill Hamlin, school giant, played the other guard alter¬ nately and between the two of them, they kept the other side guessing. Chuck Canfield the lightest man ever to play center, held down that position in an A-l way on the offensive and played half with the level¬ headedness and sagacity of a veteran on the defensive. Vosbury played center on the defensive and full on the offensive. Was there ever such a hard hitting back-field man on a Binghamton team before? Never heard of one. Joe Barberson did his bit and it was a great big bit too at one half, and Van Atta, the old standby, the mainstay of the backfield, on the defense, was more than a fit partner for him. Van played full on the defense. And last but not least, we have our popu¬ lar little quarterback, “Dutch” King, who played 100% football all through the season, which was marred only by having his leg broken in the U.-E. game. He’s all set now, though. Everybody on the team this year was a former letter man except Capt. Hamlin, Canfield and Crocker. When the all state interscholastic team was picked, we were well represented as Bus Kelly, VanAtta and Swingle were chosen to fill three of the positions on that mythical team. Although the members of the team deserve a whole lot of credit, if it were not for Coach Hirst’s hard work in whipping them into shape, the season would never have been such a success. So here’s where we give Mr. Hirst a hearty vote of thanks. Everybody in favor say I-I-I-I. One Hundred Fifteen It is to the credit of Manager Wheaton that the football season was a success this year. He worked hard and through his efforts a good schedule was arranged and something over $500 was put into the tieas- ury of the Gf. 0..

As it was, we finished second in the interscholastic basketball race, , our old friends Norwich, beating the wearers of the blue and the white by a narrow margin. When the call for candidates was issued a large number responded, from which Coach Bailey finally succeeded in picking a varsity squad of fifteen. This year we had three letter men back—Rod Van Atta, Davidge and Capt. Kelly. All three men are past masters in the game and during the season played super basketball. Barberson, our speedy little half-back, played as Kelly’s side hick in guard position and it was a good man that got by them for a fieli goal. We admit that we ran up against quite a few good men, however. Davidge and Van Atta, assisted by Manager Gates, held down the forward positions to per¬ fection or as near that as they were capable. Harold Landre, an em¬ ployed boy wonder, made good at center and proved to be as clever a basketball player as the school has ever produce !. The team worked hard to win the championship but—funny things will happen, they say, and we got only second place in the league. Mr. Bailey coached the team an lit was dim to his unceasing, tire¬ less efforts that the team finished up as well as it did. Many thanks to Mr. Bailey. And last but not least Manager Jack Gates deserves some individ¬ ual praise for the way he handled the team. He rounded out a hard schedule for the season and then proceeded to help the team win by himself playing, being considered the fastest man on the squad in a basketball game. Jack made basketball more than pay for itself this year. He added $350 to the G. 0. treasury. We always thought you were an unusual boy, Jack. Behold the record of which we all ought to be proud.

( apt. Weniger ought to be proud to captain such splendid athletes _ and the members of the team ought to be proud to be captained by such a leader as Ralph. To start with the team went to Cornell and beat all high schools entered but only placed second, due to a prep school which had an unusually strong team in the meet. Their next trip was to Alfred, where they distinguished themselves by breaking three records. Capt Weniger bested the former record in the running broad 6 inches by jumping 21 ft. 5 : ;4 in. Quite a hop, what’s say ? Grayson Hinman jogged a mile in four minutes 55 seconds, about ten seconds better than the record at Alfred. And then Kelly ran the 220 low hurdles in 2 seconds less time than it was ever run before at an Alfred meet, and what’s more, jumped over the last six hurdles minus a shoe. That’s the old tight for you. We finished with forty-two points to our credit, our nearest competitor having only seventeen points. The following day the team went to Syracuse and nabbed first place and incidentally a cup, having a total of thirty-three points. The last meet was at Colgate. Things could have turned out better for the blue and white team, but as it was we placed second in the meet. Suffield, a New England school, had a tast team entered so—oh, we just got second. Nevertheless we claim the championship for High Schools of New York State on the cinder path. Championship team number two. Wow!. Athletics surely are booming some in B. C. H. S. this year. The whole school especially the members of the track team appreciate very much the coaching of Mr. Bailey who had the interest of the team more at heart than probably any other person connected with track. Let’s not forget either, the noble efforts of Manager Ron Bloomer. One Hundred Twenty BASEBALL TEAM Coach Arthur Hirst Davidge Bowen Gates Beam Captain Dan McAvoy Manager Donald Drumtra LETTER MEN Valada Barberson Churchill McAvoy Alexander Tewksbury One Hundred Twenty-One arsittp Pasefaall deserve quite some credit for your noble efforts, Don. With the loss of only two letter men, the members of the team were pretty well settled at the beginning. Nevertheless a big squad turned out with the call for baseball candidates it being cut to about twenty men shortly afterward. With a battery of Gates and Bowen on the mound, Beam, a new man but a veritable wonder, behind the bat, we stood a good show of putting out another champion team. Fighting Capt. McAvoy robbed everything that came toward first base; Davidge scooped up all the hot ones and easy ones, too, around second; Joe Bar berson played at short stop, while Chuck Alexander, the wonder boy on third, lived up to his baseball reputation of last year. Pete Churchill, Valada and Van Atta tried to cover the field and are succeeding, actu¬ ally succeeding. The first game of the season was supposed to have been with Manlius, but rain interfered. The first real game of the sea¬ son was with Union Endicott, and we sent them home with a large sized defeat sign trailing after them. Next we went to Ithaca, where being unable to trim both the team and the umpire, we were defeated by one point. The same story took place the next Saturday at l nion Endicott, only the umpire wasn’t to blame this time. We just couldn’t hit the ball’ that’s all. These are all games that have been played up to the present and we stand even just two victories and two defeats. While there is life there is hope, and we still have hopes that we won’t be defeated again. Right here Mr. Hirst comes in for a man sized slice of credit for his coaching the baseball team.

A fresh¬ man track and baseball team have been put into the field. Noth¬ ing much has been heard of the track team, but the baseball team is enjoying quite a successful season. Captained by Ralph Beam and managed by Elmer Cossman, they are actually winning games. If the idea of freshman athletics proves to be permanent it certainly is bound to benefit the whole school in the future as it affords a training school for fellows not yet big enough or experienced enough to play varsity athletics. We hope the Frosli organize a football team in the fall for not only will it train future football men but will increase school spirit among the lower classes. The Sophomores are now the only unorganized class in school and it wouldn’t be a bad idea if they got together and put a football team in the field next fall to play the fresh¬ men, making the event sort of annual affair, similar to that of colleges.

The man who plans to make his provisions “to¬ morrow,” or “next week,” is no less blameworthy than the man who does not consider them at all. Pressure of time or the improbability of accident or death do not excuse failure to have a will, nor failure in having it up-to-date and covering all requirements. Nor is there any excuse for failure to name a desirable executor, or to weigh thoroughly the possibility of pro¬ tecting beneficiaries, through a trust, against the dan¬ gers of unwise property management.
