PANORAMA ANNUAL Howard Barker “His ery foot lias music in it.” First prize in high school poem in¬ terpretation contest (1); First prize in county and congressional district in essay contest (John D. Clarke Contest) (1); “Essay Award’’ (3); High Honor Student, 94.151 (fifth.) Although Howard doesn’t “blow his own horn,” he plays the pipe organ remarkably well. Neither does lie tell ail he knows, but the latter is easily explainable, when one sees his cards. It’s an im¬ possibility. that’s all. Whether Vir¬ gil or Bach, he does it in the same quiet, easy manner, before one has an opportunity to realize how he lias achieved it. If. at some future day, B. C. H. S. gets an organ we have a feeling that Howard should naturally be the first one to set the auditorium ringing with new melody from a friendly hand, of course not forgetting that musical foot. Dorothy Brown “Dot” “Happy I am, from care I’m free, Why aren’t they all contented like me ?” Freshman Basketball Team (1-2); Special Chorus (1-2-3); Literary Club (2-3-4), Sergeant-at-Arms (4); Corporal G-irls’ Vigilance Commit¬ tee (2); Varsity Basketball Squad (3) ; Girls’ Glee Club (3); Junior Basketball Team (Capt.); Class Notable—Bluffer. Well does this quotation suit “Dot.” She has gone her way among these walls of knowledge, leaving a trail of sunshine in her wake. “Dot” is full of vim as many of you know, who have seen her play basketball. Her smile and school spirit have won her many friends. Success is sure for “Dot.” Earl Barnes “liCt thy words lie few.” Cross Country Team (3), Letterman (4) . During his stay with us Earl has done his bit and done it well. Although Track has been his forte he has been an eager supporter of other activities. Earl is undecided as to his whereabouts next year but wherever he goes, we wish him luck. Priscilla Branch “ Pris” “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” Corporal Girls’ Vigilance Commit¬ tee (1-2); Literary Club (1-2-3-4), Vice-President (4); Swimming Team (2-3-4); Varsity Team, Let¬ ter (3), Manager, Letter (4); Pan¬ orama Reporter (2); Alumni Ed¬ itor, Panorama (4); Vice-President of G. O. (4); Senior Tennis Team (4); Third Place Panorama Story Contest (4); Class Notable—Best natured girl. Wellesley’s going to be mighty fortunate next fall. Why? Be¬ cause “Pris” is going there. “Pris” has not been idle during her four years’ stay as her achievement list shows. She has another accom¬ plishment other than the above list shows—a host of friends. Page Twenty-three

panorama annual Edna Beard (Mayo) ‘‘Home-Keeping, ' heart ft are (He hap¬ piest.” Dom Econ Club (2-3-4), Vice-Presi¬ dent (3), Secretary (3), President (4); Dom Econ Play (3); First Prize for Food Show Poster-Home- Making Class (3). Please note—Edna is the presi¬ dent of Dom Econ. That’s not such a bad accomplishment, is it? Hard¬ ly! Neither must you forget that Pldna is an out-door sport, a good student, and best of all, agreeable. The last characteristic may be one cause for her having acquired the position of house keeper or house wife to be exact. He ' s a lucky fellow, that’s certain. Clifford Bunnell “Cliff” “Ah worthless woman!. Mere eolil el ay.” Orchestra (1-2); Special Chorus (1- 2-3); Member of Varsity Skating Team (3-4); Hi-Y (4); Member of “Dinty Moore Trophy” Team (4). Clifford Bunnell is quite a woman hater. He won his letter on the skating team, and was a member of the championship basketball team which won the “Dinty Moore Trophy Cup”, now on exhibition in the front corridor. Furthermore he has showed musical ability in the Orchestra and Special Chorus. Pie is going on to represent B. C. H. S. in Syracuse University. Florence Brooks “Genteel in personage. Conduct and equipage Noble by heritage Generous and free.’’ Literary Club (1-2-3-4), Literary Club Play (3), Vice-President (3). Florence has a charming person¬ ality. She is rather dignified but after you get to know her, she’s just a peach. She isn’t sure what she is going to be but no doubt she will be indirectly affiliated with the First National Bank. James Barriskill “Jimmy” “On bokrs for to rede 1 me delyte.” Congress (2-3); Lady Windemere’s Fan” (3). “Jimmy” has done quite a few things since he has been in school. He is an active member of Con¬ gress and has taken part in various Dramatic Class Plays. His real ability, however, lies in writing poetry and he also is fond of lit¬ erature. Pa Twenty-two

PANORAMA ANNUAL Hahhy Bilcoyitcii ‘‘The world knows nothing of its greatest men.” Honor Student. Harry is that genius who finds it possible to get through B. C. H. . in three years. How does lie do it? It surely indicates either a remarkable intellect or an indomi¬ table perseverance, possibly, in Harry’s case, it is both. Granny Butkaucki ‘•By (lie works ye shall know the workman.” Honor Student. We can’t say just what it is about you, Geddy, that makes us like you so well. Maybe it’s be¬ cause you always have your les¬ sons on time and well done with¬ out bothering - the whole school about it. Maybe it’s because we never see you without your friendly smile. But we really think the sum total of it is, that you are your¬ self, and tha.t that little something or rather big something called per¬ sonality—is yours. Helen Bicsko “Simplicity is a state of mind.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Glee Club ( 1 ). Helen is fast but sure—when she’s driving her Packard. She is always good natured, a character¬ istic with which she won many sin¬ cere friends. Those who do not know her realize a great loss. FnEDEsrcK Balduf ‘ ' Fred yy “A cheerful smile goes a long way.” Congress (2); Special Chorus (2-3). Science is Fred’s pet subject. He likes it so much, he’s going to teach it, and try to make others like it too. He’s going to Albany State Teachers’ College to study further and learn the intricate explanation of the reason why an apple falls to the ground when it parts company with the tree. You’ve missed some¬ thing if you haven’t known Fred¬ erick. Page Twenty-four
