Writeup The last year of high school life for the Class of 192(1 lias drawn to a close. Now we will glance backward for a moment and note what has comprised the closing chapter of our career. In the first place, we had the largest Senior class ever graduated in the history of the school. Thereby we had a great number of students from which to elect our Class Officers as well as our Class Day Officers and Notables. We should congratulate ourselves on being able to ap¬ point to these positions such capable and suitable people. We had several well-attended meetings during the term at which all business and plans were enacted except those that were taken care of by committees. We are proud of the fact that out of our very large class twenty- four per cent are honor students. The two students having obtained the highest averages being boys make another unusual fact about the class. Of course all things can not be perfect and this is likewise true of our class although I suppose bad points should not be mentioned. The banking per cent has been the lowest of any of the four classes, however, if the many individual accounts were considered the Seniors would have a very good record. Since the school bank has existed for sometime now we hope that the percentage of the Class of 1927 will be equal to, if not exceed that of the other three classes. In athletics, and other school activities the class has been duly repre¬ sented, especially in the last Dramatics Class play, “You and I,” of which the cast was entirely Seniors. The play was well portrayed and a credit to the people who had parts in it. From a general survey of the class 50 per cent are going to college and 50 per cent are going into the business world. Success is wished upon both of these groups. And now with a last good-bye to B. C. H. S., its faculty and student body, and with wishes of success for the present Junior Class who will fill the places left vacant by us, we make our farewell.

During his career, Bob has shown re¬ markable ability in many lines of ac¬ tivity. But the outstanding character¬ istic of his deeds has been the enjoyment found in the doing with the glory but secondary. Gertrude Andrews “The prlee of wisdom is above rubies.” Scholarship Insignia (1-2-3-4); B. C. H. S. Gold Key (4); Dom Econ Club, Secre¬ tary (4); Fifth High Honor, 94.535. If you’d like to meet someone who’s pleasant all the time, who’s extra good at her lessons, who’s cheerfully sympa¬ thetic when you have troubles to unload, who’s well-liked by everyone she knows —just meet Gertrude Andrews and your wish will be fulfilled! Elizabeth Adams ‘Betty’ “There she goes on her toes.” Friday Club (3-4); Chamber of Com¬ merce (3-4). “Betty” has looked rather sad since the January Graduation, but as June is here when all are united at last, every¬ thing is all right. Betty has taken a great interest in the business of high school but has never been too busy to be seen at all our games and plays. It is such all around people who are al¬ ways missed. Martha Atwater “Dimples” “ ’Tls well to be merrle and wise, Tls well to be honest and true.” Nature Study Club (1-2); Special Chorus ( 2 ). Martha, like her namesake of the Bible times, is noted for her work and unselfish service. When she leaves, B. C. H. S. will be minus a good student, and Cortland Normal plus a fine, de¬ pendable girl. Page Twenty-one K HOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 K==XOK Thelma Allen “Charlie” “A little work, si little play to keep me going.” Freshman Basketball Team (1); Literary Club (2-3 4); Girls’ Varsity Basketball Squad (2); Girls’ Sports Editor “Pan” (3) ; Junior Girls’ Tennis Team, Cap¬ tain, Spring Term (3); Second in rating on Girls’ Varsity Tennis Team (3); Awards Committee (3-4); Junior Bas¬ ketball Squad (3); Alumni Editor “Pan” (4) ; Captain Senior Tennis Team (4). “Charlie” is the owner of a most in¬ dividual personality. Her virtues are many and quite varied. Her tennis abil¬ ity is known to every one and this, per¬ haps, is what taught “Charlie” to be the good sport that she is. William Altmann “Bill” “Tliy head ;inil liair are sleek.” Guthrie. Oklahoma (1); Tennis Squad (2- 3-4); Hi-Y Club (3-4). “Bill” is an easy-going, agreeable per¬ son whom everyone likes. As his pic¬ ture does him justice you can see that he is a handsome blond. For this reason “Bill” has acquired the nickname of “sheik.” However, he isn’t like the com¬ mon “sheik” but rather, he is a really splendid fellow. Carmalita Adams f,- nr 1ft ( arm el “Bubbling over with joy anil mirth.” That is Carmalita. Not Spanish as the name implies, but just a real live Ameri¬ can girl full of pep and spice. Carmalita has been taking the Commercial course So cheer up folks, with luck you will meet her in the business world some day. Alton Ball “The reword oT a thing well done i� to have done it.” Baseball Letter Man (2-3-4) “Panorama” Reporter (2); Secretary of Junior Class (3) ; Hi-Y Club (3-4); Cheer Leader (4); Glee Club (4); Dramatics Class Plays “Expressing Willie,” “ A Woman’s Way” (4) ; Honor Student (4); Class Notable —Most Apt to be Successful; Special Award for Athletics: Sweater—B. C. H. S. Gold Key. First student to receive both. “Come on now, everybody up!” Here’s our famous cheer-leader. This is not the only tiling in which Alton has shown ability. He is an excellent student and lias proved himself very useful around B. C. H. S., especially in baseball and in the Dramatics class plays, “Expressing Willie” and “A Woman’s Way.” Rage Twenty-two 3JOJC PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 «= 3lOiC Waldemar Boldt “An ii 11 ii nii ii I fellow with :i rosy blush mill a wliiniiiK smile.” Band (1-2-3-4); Orchestra (1-2-3-4); Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Boys’Glee Club (1-2-3- 4); Radio Club (2); Wind Octette (3); Track Squad (3); Skating Squad (3); Gold Key (3); ‘‘Mikado” (3); Football Squad, Junior Varsity (4); Special Awards Committee (4); Honor Student (4); Boys’ Week, Secretary of Chamber of Commerce (4); Class Notable—Sheik. From the name inscribed above, you may know that the subject for this little paragraph is Waldemar Boldt. As a clarinet soloist, Waldemar is said to rival Paderewski on the harp having been one rf the mainstays of our ever active Band and Orchestra for four years. He has also been an excellent student in addi¬ tion to devoting some time to athletics in the form of shot-putting and Junior Varsity football. However, perhaps the main reason for Waldemar’s prominence and popularity is his unfailing “fount” of genuine good humor. Boldt has been quite a “bolt” in the machine of our school life, now we hear he’s to “bolt” to Harvard. Good luck! Doris Burley “Burly” “To love lier is 11 liberal education.” Friday Club (2-3-4); Chamber of Com¬ merce (3-4). We know of no one who has scattered mor e smiles and giggles around the lofty corridors of B. C. H. S. than you, our own chum, “Burly.” How the kiddies will adore you if you still retain your desire to be a Kindergarten teacher. Winning personality, that “immortal treasure” is thine. Gertrude Berray “Tlic Alchemist Contentment is. Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Girls’ Glee Club (4); Friday Club (4); Special Chorus (4); L. C. Smith Typewriting Certificate (4); Underwood Typewriting Certificate (4). Few of us really know Gertrude,— fewer of us than would like to, but we do know that she has been an asset to B. C. H. S.; that her interest has been active; that a good worker, a cheerful companion and a dependable friend will be missing when Gertrude graduates. Arthur Blodgett •Art” “He hns n lenn mid hungry look.” It is often said that to be really humor¬ ous one must be able to keep his own face straight. This is just where Art excels. No matter how violently the class may go into convulsions over what he says, he hardly ever cracks a smile. In fact we sometimes have to wonder for a moment whether he really meant to be funny at all. In a place where so many think they are funny and aren’t at all, Art stands out. Page Twenty-three K bok jc XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 Rose Bitsino “She li sim eyes of ‘raven hue’.” Special Chorus (1-2); Chamber of Com¬ merce (2-3-4). Besides having sparkling black eyes, ' Bose is also a clever dresser. She spec¬ ializes in business work and is employed in a large clothing establishment in this city. “Information” tells that she is a speedy, accurate, and efficient stenog¬ rapher. Walter Baird “Who mixed reason with pleasure and wisdom with mirth.” Honor Student (4). Who is that making the brilliant reci¬ tation? Yes, it’s Walter Baird. He al¬ ways knows the answer. The general consensus of opinion around school is that Walter’s work will bring him the merit he deserves. Reuben Brower “They are never alone that are accom¬ panied with noble thoughts.” (In light of the above permit us to say that Reuben is never lonesome). Honor Student (1-2); Scholarship Insig¬ nia (2-3); Associate Editor “Panorama” (3) , Editor (4); Second Prize, “Pano¬ rama” Story Contest (3); Prize Electric Lighting Contest (3); Congress (3-4); Manager, Production of Scenes from “Macbeth” (4); First Prize Weeks Con¬ tes! (4); First Prize, State Declama¬ tion Contest, Ithaca Conservatory (4); Second Prize Harvard Contest (4); City Editor, Morning Sun, Boys’ Week (3); Superintendent of Schools, Boys’ Week (4) ; Awards Committee (4); Second Place, French Goodwill Contest (4); Class Day Committee (4); Class Nota¬ ble—Most Brilliant; Valedictorian, 97.- 194 (4); Gold Key (4). Reuben is the fellow responsible for the splendid quality of the “Panorama” this last year. His skill as an editor is all the more enhanced by the brilliance of this year’s annual which deems to sur¬ pass all. One of our finest scholars and a public speaker of note are simply ad¬ ditional qualifications of his. When he leaves for Amherst, there’ll certainly be a vacuum to fill here at B. C. H. S. Emma Balcom “Not .stepping o’er the bonds of modesty.” Corporal Girls’ Vigilance Committee (1); Member Dom Econ, Accounting Secre¬ tary (4). If someone should give you some long hair, a nose that turns up just enough, pleasing eyes, rather a serious mouth, and a very agreeable disposition, and you should put them together in a most attractive way, the result would be Emma Balcom. That’s why her friends are lucky to know her. Page Twenty-four K OK VAK « PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 Rose Birney “IlIeMNeil with 11 temper whoMe iiiielouileti ray can make tomorrow eheerlul iin today.” Special Chorus (1-2-3); Chamber of Com¬ merce (2-3-4); Friday Club (3-4). While walking by the windows of the banking room, one sees an unusually bright light beaming forth. Upstairs, it is all darkness. Why is it? Rose has left us and is doing excellent work in the bank. We are always glad when our graduates are able to be so near us. John Breivis ‘‘I like to work, aail to travel.” Orchestra (1-2). John is a quiet, steady student who has spent his four years in our halls, well-liked by his friends and earnestly doing his best. He claims to have taken Latin long enough to secure a Past Grand Master’s degree. John likes to travel, and has already utilized his sum¬ mer vacations to see considerable of the world. Keep traveling, John, to Success and all points west, but just drop in again some day and say “Hello”. We’ll be glad to see you. Dorothy Berdine “ Dot ” “A good heart In better limn all the heads in the world.” Corporal, Girls’ Civic League (1); Special Chorus (1); Literary Club (1-2-3-4). Dot is another one of our musicians and one we are proud of because she certainly can play. We cannot find out what she intends to do for she says she has changed her mind so many times that she refuses to give her newest idea. However, we are sure she will succeed at whatever she makes up her mind to do, because she is such a determined sort of person. Richard Bailey “ Dick ” “I dare do all that may become a man; Who dare do more is none.” Freshman Football (1); Freshman Base¬ ball (1); Interclass Basketball (3); Var¬ sity Tennis (1-2-3-4) Congress Club (1- 2-3-4); Track Team (2); Varsity De¬ bate Team (4); Weeks Speaking Con¬ test (2-3-4), Honorable Mention (2), First Place (4); Harvard Speaking Con¬ test (2-3-4), Tie for Second Place (4); Meaker Speaking Contest (2-3); B. C. H. S. Representative, Alfred Inter¬ scholastic Speaking Contest (4); Broome County Representative, “Times” Ora¬ torical Contest (4); Dramatics Class Plays “Expressing Willie,” “A Woman’s Way” (4); Boys’ Week Comptroller (4). An actor, a public speaker, an athlete, a clubman, a jolly good fellow—yes, there’s no doubt about it—that’s Dick Railey. Dick is one of the most likeable fellows in school and is equally as pro¬ ficient in swinging a racket as he is in ruffling the shades of John Barrymore. His eloquence in the field of speaking came in good stead when the Debate team, of which he was a member, de¬ cisively trimmed Elmira. Page Twenty-five U - - M t t .M PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 k — ijiDiDinniini Fred Brunner “Fritz” “Energetic, earnest and sincere.” “Panorama” Reporter (1-2); Scholarship Award (1-2); Chamber of Commerce, Boys’ Week (2); Assistant Business Manager of “Panorama” (3); Gold Key (3); Graduate in 3y 2 years, Honor Student. Throughout his high-school career, Fred has been most proficient in the pursuit of his studies. A language student of the first rank, he has rarely stopped at anything short of X in his German. Such is his ability that he has completed his course in three and one-half years, not, however, having ne¬ glected his great host of friends during that time. Wherever Fred goes, we are certain that he will be found a real prince. Helen Berman “Be comforted, the world Is very old.” Zaner Certificate (1); Chamber of Com¬ merce (4). Helen is a business student. She does her work in a business-like way. She likes her work and hopes to find her place in the commercial world. Raymond Ballard “Ray 99 “Handsome Is that handsome does.” Class Notable—Lounge Lizard. This boy is destined to be a world- beater. When you hear Ray “expound” upon one thing or another, you sit up and take notice. He has a great many theories and doubtless some of them will materialize. Dolores Barnard “Sincerity hath a charm of Its own.” Literary Club (2-3-4). Dolores has made many friends during her high school course because of her attractive personality, the predominating quality of which is sincerity. Lessons trouble her but little. She makes her mark nevertheless. Her object seems to be to enjoy life. Rage Twenty-six K=XOK=t PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 k==Aok== Mary Baxter “Friendship! MysIt-rimiN cement of the NOUl, Sweetener of life, anil solder of society.” Special Chorus (1-2-4); Girls’ Glee Club (4). If one’s wealth be determined by the number of one ' s friends, Mary is very wealthy. Always cheerful and jolly and ready with a helping- hand you will find her. Her friends describe her as an all around good fellow, which is very true. Lewis Barney “Louie “Of maimers gentle, of all ' ections mild In wit a man, simplicity a child.” Class Notable—Corridor Blocker. When our weekly Wednesday speaker comes forth on the platform and tells us that we cannot realize how glad he is to be there, and to look down upon our happy smiling faces, I am sure he must be looking at Lewis Barney. Lewie, as he is better known, always fits that description perfectly. Grace Bedell “Her ltrain a quiver of jests.” Varsity Basketball in Sidney High School (2); Literary Club (3-4); Perfect At¬ tendance (3); “Panorama” Reporter (4); Honor Student (4). Unlike many importations, Grace is an altogether delightful article of an un¬ usual quality and one without which we couldn’t very well subsist. Firstly, because she is quite ready to do any¬ thing for anybody at any time. Es¬ pecially has she made herself valuable as a Senior “Pan” Reporter. Secondly, because, besides her never-failing store of knowledge and well prepared lessons, she adds to every class a bit of fun, which has helped to smooth over many a rough three-quarters of an hour! Ronald Baker “Divinely tall and most divinely fair.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Track Squad (2- 3-4) Skating Team (3-4); Scholarship Award (3); Boys’ Glee Club; Ser- geant-at-Arms of Senior Class (4); Class Notable—“Ideal Couple”; Honor Stu¬ dent (4). Baker is the most looked-up-to man in this year’s class, and then some. Is it any wonder that he should be elected Sergeant-at-arms? Although we don’t regard him half as serious as he really is, we just can’t help liking him. He in¬ tends to go to Cornell next fall to study chemistry, and although we don ' t know how we will get along without him, we all want to wish him the best possible luck. 8 Page Twenty-seven K 3 K- -X PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 K — V ft K James Barber “Hail fellow, well met.” Orchestra (1-2); Freshman Baseball (1); Sophomore Football (2); Baseball Squad (2); Junior Varsity Football (3). This, ladies and gentlemen, is James , Barber, he of the curly hair and spark¬ ling eyes, indispensable to each and every French Class. (He speaks French like a native American, but invariably studies the wrong verb.) However, he does his bit by keeping the class in gen¬ eral confusion, just to avoid monotony. What a mess life would be, if there weren’t people like that! And seriously, he does study! Margaret Bollman “Billy” “Fine :irt in flint in which the hand, the head and liesirt go together.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Glee Club (1-2-3- 4); Friday Club (2-3-4), Vice-President (3); Interclass Hockey, Basketball (4); Baseball (4); Accompanist, Freshman Chorus (4); Honor Student (4). You surely don’t need an introduction to Margaret. At least the Freshmen all know and appreciate her for she’s done some fine work in playing for their chorus this year. The rest of you should know her for she’s a “jolly, good, fellow” and an excellent scholar. “Bon voyage,” “Billy,” in your musical career! Laura Bigler “Small service is true service while it lasts.” Dom Econ (2). A good “scout” is she—always on hand when she’s needed. She expects to train for nursing. We know that “good scout quality” will shine in her chosen pro¬ fession. Frances Brodie “A friend may well he reckoned the Masterpiece of Nature.” Scholarship Award (2); Literary Club (3- 4); Dramatics Class Play “The Truth About Blayds” (3); “The Patchwork Quilt” (Ithaca First Place) (3); Dra¬ matics Award (3); Honor Student (4); Class Notable—Most Bashful Girl. Specie No. 057891 of Class 1926. (Frane ' eus Brodius) Appearance: May be identified by her soft brown eyes, tiny feet and “tip- tilted” nose. Habits: Dislikes Latin; enjoys a good time, especially in the form of criticising Dramatics Class plays; does lessons well; has dramatic ability. Haunts: May usually be found in B. C. H. S., somewhere far away from 305; often around the Library, preferably in the alcove. Page Twenty-eight XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 XOK Hazen Brooks “Haiti” “He ' s pleasant and dependable.’’ Introducing Hazen Brooks, another of the future bank presidents now graduat¬ ing from our commercial department. He’s that stocky, blond fellow; the proud (?) possessor of two dimples as a dis¬ tinguishing feature of a broad smile. Hazen, in pursuing his earnest way through this institution, has been an ac¬ tive supporter and a dependable fellow. Ruth Ballard “It ' s not because you’re jolly And never a trifle blue. Hut the reason we all love you Is just because you’re you.” Dom Econ (2-3-4); Friday Club (2-3-4); Basketball (3-4). By her helpfulness, her friendship, and her cheerful manner she grows into the hearts of all. She is a true friend to everybody, a sport under all circum¬ stances, a representative of the best things of life, and as human and fun- loving as one could wish. Glendola Bixby “Sugar” “She who trifles with all, Is less likely to fall. Than sbe who but trifles with on e.” Chamber of Commerce (2-3); Dramatics Class Play “The Truth” (4). Glendola is full of fun and loves a good time. But then, who doesn’t? Did you notice a clever sketch in the Junior number of the “Pan”? Well, Glendola wrote it, which goes to prove that she has talent. Besides, she has been on the stage—in our own auditorium of course. Evelyn Briggs “And when a lady’s in the ease. You know all other things give place.” Special Chorus (1-2); Dom Econ (2-3-4); Literary Club (2-3); Junior Basketball, Senior Basketball, Senior Hockey Team, Chamber of Commerce (4). Pep Gameness Good looks A bright manner Readiness for a good time All these bound together in a girl. Result—Evelyn Briggs. Page Twenty-nine PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 xok id DJOIC Kathryn Beall “ Kay ” “A friend worth having is Kay.” Literary Club (2-3-4); Dom Econ (4); Basketball (3-4). Most everyone knows Kathryn, that pretty, slender little girl with dark hair and shining eyes. Because genuine and true she was sterling all through and caused many a boy to sigh. And when Kay dances—well the “music fairly kills itself to listen to her feet.” Cora Bell “Deeds are better tilings than words Actions mightier Ilian boasting.” Special Chorus (3-4). This just fits Cora because she ac¬ complished much, but did very little talking. She worked hard but never was heard boasting. Cora left us in January. Lois Barrett “Midget” ••Her cares rest heavily upon her (f)“ Special Chorus (1-2-3); Dom Econ (1-2). “Her cares rest heavily upon her.” If we were employing the method of con¬ trast in describing Lois Barrett (See Chapter 10, paragraph 5, of any English grammar for explanation) we might use tlie above to good advantage since Lois is so exactly opposite to the statement. Not that she’s careless, or too uncon¬ cerned—not at all; she simply refuses to be worried, because of which we fi nd her a pretty handy little person to have around. Barbara Bliss “Bob u “Wliat stature is she off She ' s just as high sis my heart.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4), Sergeant-at-Arms 2-4); Corporal, Girls’ Civic League (1); Disinger Contest (1-2), Second Prize (2) ; Civic Club Debate, Ring (2); Second Prize Weeks Contest (2-3); De¬ bate Award (2); Public Speaking Award (3) ; Dramatics Class Play “Mary the Third” (3); Award’s Council (3); Dra¬ matics Award (4); Assistant News Edi¬ tor “Pan” (3), News Editor (4); B. C. H. S. Gold Key (4); “Panorama” Award (4) ; Honor Student; Class Notable— Heart Breaker (Girl). “Bob” is blessed in that she possesses rare charm mingled with ability in many school activities. We are blessed be¬ cause we’ve had her with us for four years and we certainly do appreciate her. Page Thirty k==xok= PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 . -hok zzzX Howard Bird “ Bud ” “I like the world—the world likes me.” Cross Country Letter Man (3); Glee Club (4); Special Chorus (4). That blond, medium-sized fellow witli the ready smile and quick wit pictured above is “Bud”. He surely can’t be called a “dead one” for whenever there is any fun going- on he is always at hand to participate and contribute. On the wings of his sunny, even, disposition a certain Bird has already soared high in our estimation. Just keep flying, Howard! Ina Butterfield “Happiness is not to he prescribed, but enjoyed.” Literary Club (3-4); Junior Basketball Team (3); Interclass Tennis, Hockey, Basketball, and Baseball Teams (4); Honor Student (4). “Hello?—Yes, this is the Recording Angel.—Ina Butterfield?—Just a moment.

What?— Is she a snob!—Not at all, not at all.— Yes, she has my highest recommendation. —You’re welcome. Call again!

You stop to find out where the laughter comes from; you look and see Ruth with her many friends; and then you wonder how anyone can have so many. The quotation explains.

What sixth sense is it which tells Jack how long he can put off writing those athletic notes without endangering his life? He always seems to know. We never yet have known Jack to get them in on time (maybe that’s why we are al¬ ways so glad to get them when they do come). Nevertheless, he has been known to appear serious and settle down to hard work, when the occasion demanded it.

From all reports of commercial law classes in which Helen has taken part, we might be led to believe that some day in the near future she may be starring as- a “lady of the law.” Patrick Carbone “Pat” “I crave action.” Varsity Baseball (1-2-3-4); Freshman Bas¬ ketball (1); Junior Interclass Basketball Champions (3); Football (2-4) ' , Squad (2), Varsity (4); Special Award Sweat¬ er (4). During the time we’ve known “Pat,” we have always found him thoroughly busy and really enjoying it—in numerous activities of school life. He left us in January, leaving his athletic footprints on the mud of the varsity football grid¬ iron and the green sod of the baseball diamond. Keep up that same old spirit of hard playing, “Pat.” Olive Cole “Old king Cole was n merry old soul. And a merry old soul was lie” Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4); Certificate Perfect Attendance, Two Years (3). And his namesake and descendant, (perhaps), is bequeathed with a goodly share of this desirable feature.

Mansfield Connelly “Studious of ease and fond of liunilile tilings.” Football (1); Track Squad (3-4); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (2-3-4).

That’s Alice’s idea of life. She ' s always having a good time, or nearly always. Alice is clever at acting, as those who have seen the Dramatics Class plays will agree.

He is always willing to under¬ take some task that will bring good re¬ sults and he is sure to make a success of it. Ask any member of Hi-Y what kind of President “Dick” lias made and he will reply that Dick” has been a wondeful one, and efficient, with a great deal of executive ability. Bessie Cook “A good heart is better tliun nil the heads in the world.” Special Chorus (1-2-4); Friday Club (3-4). Now you, as well as 1, admire, either secretly or otherwise, the person who is always ready to say what he truly thinks without regard to trifling sentimentali¬ ties or super-sensitiveness. Perhaps you don ' t know it. but Bessie is this kind of person—and that’s why we like her. Add to this important, and let us say, un¬ usual quality, the ability to attend to her work, a jolly disposition, and a hand ever ready to help the other fellow and you have Bessie—not a bad sort to know either. James Cusick “ Jimmie ” •‘There sire some silent people who sire more interesting than the best talkers.” Freshman Basketball Squad, Cross Coun¬ try Squad (2); Cap and Gown Commit¬ tee. Mottoes, they tell us, should always be illustrated, so we’re offering “Jimmie” Cusick as a good illustration of the above quotation. He doesn’t say so much, but he’s always around; active, de¬ pendable and sincere. Jimmie ' s always ready for a good time and joins us heartily in a certain unobtrusive, pleas¬ ant way.

If you don’t believe Mr. “Cruntz” is a versatile athlete, consider this. In the autumn he used to tour the hills over the two-mile cross country course, and then when spring came, he immediately limited himself to the 220-yard dash and the broad jump. But last fall, there wasn’t any cross country. Burdette couldn’t hold his feet still, so he went out for football, where he likewise made a name for himself. Marguerite Cortright “To live long, it is necessary to live slowly.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Glee Club (4). In the dictionary published by B. C. H. P. and Co., Copyright 1926, Marguerite Cortright means “a girl who does her bit for her school by giving every lesson careful preparation and by being on hand on all occasions.” While she is seldom in the limelight as a sole performer, she is always ready to applaud the person who is mounting the steps of Fame, and is quite content with her own unassum¬ ing position. Frank Conole “Steady contribution fills tlie measure of success.” Varsity Football (2-3); Track Team (2-3), Letter Man (3). They tell us that the infantry is the backbone of the army—according to the same metaphor, that large group of quiet, hard-working students is the groundwork of anv school life. Frank has been a steady, dependable fellow dur¬ ing his stay here, and a miler on the track team, contributing his full measure of participation and support to all school activities. That slow smile and ready greeting have helped to enlarge his circle of friends. Keep plugging, Frank, and just remember that the spurt „back of that old sprint down the home stretch after a grueling race, is going to help you breast the tape of success, Page Thirty-four K XOK HOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 James Campbell “Jimmie” “Friend to nil and all his friend.” Congress (3-4); “Dinty Moore” Trophy Cup Team (4).

Jimmie is just a natural-born good sport and is on e of those fellows on whom you can depend to be there at i he right place, at the right time and doing the right thing. - qb i ' ' U Mary Clark ‘•Hairdresser alias stenographer.” Special Chorus (1-2); Chamber of Com¬ merce (2-3-4); Friday Club (2-3-4). Mary worked on a combination basis— took the Commercial Course in the morn¬ ing and worked in a hair-dressing parlor in the afternoon. Some people object to a person’s holding two positions; but we have no objections if she does it as gracefully as Mary. Yes, she has some ambition. Harold Cooper “Industry is the parent of fortune.” Special Chorus (1); Chamber of Com¬ merce (4); Hi-Y (4); Boys’ Week, Presi¬ dent, Hills, McLean Haskins (4).

Raymond was one of that large group of industrious commercial students who supply a certain air of business and “push” around the school during their residence here. You know that fellow with the sort of amused, winning grin; the fellow whom you always liked if you knew him. and well—if you didn’t really know him—just liked anyway!

He may be rather short in stature but he sure is “long on a pleas¬ ing, friendly personality and an ever in¬ creasing number of friends. “Fritz”, you ole ' Beau Brummel, here’s good luck to you! Just smile—say—that’s fine. Horace Crandall “The man of independent mind.” Tennis Squad (2); Skating Squad (2-3); Champion Interclass Basketball (3); Honor Student (4). Outside activities have deterred Horace from reaching the heights he might otherwise have gained here in B. C. H. S. Consequently, his debating ability, and his bent for dramatics have been dis¬ played in English class, rather than on the stage. He has always taken his studies seriously, and has worked hard at them, which means that he is usually to be found on the honor roll.

No football game was a complete success unless Dick was there to play his good old drum. They say that it ' s the spirit behind the thing that determines whether it is a success or not. If Dick applies the spirit behind the drum to greater things later on, he will certainly come out on top. Wii.lard Cook “Cookie” “Be gone dull eare!

Charlie has divided much of his resi¬ dence here between 119 and the sacred precincts of the Library, both of which domiciles are stimulative to study and thought. As such circumstances would imply, he is an industrious chap, imbued with a spirit of determination. Rumor has it that Charlie and Florida Real Es¬ tate are not total strangers. Well, Charlie, everything is in the start, and you’ve made a good one. Paul Deabler “Sparky” “Success Is smiling upon him. Chamber of Commerce (4). Paul has been out in the business world since January and from all reports is making a great success. His tastes seem to incline toward electrical work. He is a jolly chap who came from Sani¬ taria Springs down to B. C. H. S. His work in school was in keeping with the success he is now making.

You’re sure to be a success, Alleyne, if you attack life as you do the big leather oval.

Martha Demchak Marti) ff “The speed and quality of a Stutz.” Advanced Penmanship Diploma (2); Fri¬ day Club (4); Special Chorus (4); Chamber of Commerce (4). You must have all seen Martha hurry¬ ing either on the street or in the corri¬ dors. That accounts for the speed. Mar¬ tha is also of good quality. Good cook¬ ing is one of her specialties, fine sewing is another, and brains still another. Re¬ sult—high grade. Marion Donahue “An ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.” Special Chorus (1-2); Glee Club (1); Fri¬ day Club (2-3-4); Chamber of Com¬ merce (3-4); L. C. Smith Pin Award and Certificate Award (4). Marion’s smile is universally beloved in B. C. H. S.. and we’re sure it must be at Hills, too, where she spends her after¬ noons as Miss Morgan’s “right-hand man.” We are sure that success will surely attend such smiling perseverance as hers. Helen DeLaney “Billie’ “Mistress of mine own self and of mine own soul.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4). “Billie” is known as quite a “man- hater.” But to the girls, she is a great sport and a companion full of fun. We are sure that wherever “Billie” goes she will be popular.

Martha Dyer “Mart” “Come on in—(lie water’s fine.” Special Chorus (1-4); Nature Study Club (1); Scholarship Award (1); Class Teams, Hockey, Basketball, Baseball (4). So “ ' Mart” thinks, for she plunges into the cool depths of study (hot—some¬ times) and comes out with fresh and smiling face. If she gets her mouth full of Latin verbs, she just says, Pshaw! that’s nothing,” plunges in again, and then bobs up with a half a dozen “G’s” and “E’s.” M arion Darrow “Mary Ann” “The reason firm, (lie temperate will. Endurance, foresight, strength, anil skill.” Literary Club (4); Dom Econ Club (4). Now in that quotation Marion is so well described in a few words, what else can I say? A large group of friends al¬ ways signifies a charming personality and Marion has those friends. Yes, she plays basketball and all the school loves a basketball player. Catherine Franey “Kay” “She is so gay, so very gay. And not by fits anil starts. But ever through the live-long day. She’s sunshine to all hearts.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4); Dramatics Class Play, “Mary the Third” (3); Dramatics Class Play, “You and I” (4); Literary Club Play, “The Travelers” (4); Class Notable—Smoothest Girl. Kay” is a girl who likes to have a good time. Perhaps her idea of life is— eat, dance and be merry.” Although she is a great success as a modern, we saw in “Mary the Third” what a charming belle “Kay” would have been in days gone by. AVhere the Dramatics Class will find someone to make their drap¬ eries, as well as Kay has, will surely be a difficult problem.

Laugh! Well, “Don” excels everyone else in producing ' laughter. “Gloom- chasers” are welcome everywhere and B. C. H. S. is no exception. But to cap this, there is Don ' s musical virtue and that violin speaks at a word from its master. Samuel Feldman “Luug ' li and the world laughs with you.” Freshman Basketball Team (1); Varsity Basketball Squad (3). There is no place where that quotation applies more than it does here in high school. That is one reason why we al¬ ways liked to have Samuel in our classes. We love to laugh, and we could always count on him to furnish the cause. Al¬ though his teachers might not always have enjoyed the joke, we are sure they forgive him.

He’s go¬ ing to honor the University of Pennsyl¬ vania with his presence next year and pursue a pre-law course. Perhaps twenty years from now we ' ll be hiring Seward French, L. L.

To prove how restrained we can be, we’ll say only that John is a very fine fellow. To our knowledge he has two distinct sides; first there is the im¬ maculate. rather serious appearing, John, (P. S.—We never saw him that way for more than thirty seconds),—then that twinkle in his eyes bursts into flame, lie smiles, and well, you just naturally smile too.

Lincoln Forrester “Link” “All are architects of fate working In these walls of time.” Hi-Y Club (2-3-4); Sophomore Football (2) ; Congress (2-3); Varsity Baseball (3) ; Class Notable—Class Bluffer. Since he’s been in high school, Link’s found time to make the acquaintance of almost everybody.

In the Class of 1926, Harriet For¬ rester seems to meet this classification pretty well. She is actively interested in all phases of school life, and there’s something about her, I imagine it’s per¬ sonality, don’t you, that has made her just about the most popular girl in our class. Jacob Feinstein “Jnrk” “He plays the game for sill he’s worth,— no man eould ask for more.” Freshman Basketball (1); Varsity Basket¬ ball (3), Captain (4); Awards Commit¬ tee (4). “Jack” Feinstein was the steady, ag¬ gressive captain of this year’s sterling varsity basketball team. During his en¬ tire high school career, “Jack” has been a dependable, active student, both a par¬ ticipant and a supporter in numerous school activities. He has completed the commercial course and plans to go on to further education in the fall with a business course at N. Y. U. We don’t suppose that there’s any use in merely wishing a fellow what we are all sure he’s really going to obtain—Success— but, the best o ' luck to you, “Jack.” Page Forty-two x H OK==x PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 k=xo i=t E LIZABETII FLANNIGAN ' I ' lic roNr is rod, ' I ' lie shamrock ' s green, Elizabeth ' s xweet And niee n.s n «|ueen.

Nina Folmsbee “Slie doeth little kindnesses Wliieli most leave undone.” Honor Student (4). Not only that, but she simply eats Latin and Greek mythology. She really enjoys looking up all those confusing deities and she remembers what she looks up ’till at least, the next day. But aside from this blot upon the escutcheon, there are no other flaws. To sum it up, you’ll like Nina, we know. Jane Formanek “Somebody .snid it couldn ' t he done. But she with a chuckle replied.

The quotation for Jane is so pointed and true that a mere write-up might spoil it all. We know her to be loyal, with a keen sense of humor and an in¬ dependent versatile mind. Elizabeth Fowler “Betty” “Little I ask, my wants are few.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4); Corporal, Girls’ Civic League (1). Betty knows just how to act on every occasion. She’s quiet when quiet should reign, and she’s gay when it ' s time. We wish more were like you, Betty. hHH; Page Forty-three K 5 OK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 U V A K —3 t Louis Gold “He knew wlint’s what.” Without a doubt, Louis quite measures up to our popular epithet—“loyal son. Earning- this epithet entails having enough loyalty to follow the school “thru’ sunshine and shadow,” and enough pep to afford the school a bit of moral support. Ruth Guild “There is likewise a reward for faithful silence.” A TRUE FAIRY STORY. Once upon a time not so long ago there lived a little girl named Ruth. Now there were many girls of the same name, but this one was different from all the others. She was oh, so quiet! No one knew much about her until one day her teacher asked the whole class to draw a picture. When the pictures were judged, Ruth’s was the best! Now, do you know what her last name was? It was Guild,— Ruth Guild. Thomas Gilmore “ Tommy ” “Effort marked with strong resolve Doth much to make the man.” Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4). Tom doesn ' t make much noise. In fact, he doesn’t have to, for his actions speak louder than his words. His labors here have characterized him as an industrious worker who achieves through dint of his honest effort. ’Tis such endeavor that counts much in the game of Life. H elen L. Griffis “Goodness is beauty in its best estate.” Dom Econ, Secretary (2-3-4), President (4); Scholarship Insignia (2-3); Special Chorus (2-3-4); Literary Club (4); Inter¬ class Sports—Hockey, Basketball, Base¬ ball (4); Girls’ Glee Club (4); Honor Student (4). Helen was a real asset to the Home¬ making Department of B. C. H. S. She was very active there as well as in Dom Econ Club. They were lucky to have a quiet, ambitious girl like Helen.

On our tour around the halls of this in¬ stitution on the Senior “ballyho wagon,” ladies and gentlemen, one of the chief points of interest to be presented in the Class of ’26 is Robert (Bob) Gillson. “Bob” has been prominent, (not merely because of his size), throughout a four year siesta in B. C. H. S. Lasting prom¬ inence in school life is gained through strong, steady endeavor. “Bob” Gillson has been a cornerstone in the foundation of the school’s athletic, social, and ora¬ torical (?) life. So, ladies and gentle¬ men of the graduating class, let ' s sing in refrain: “Say, Bob, we’ll really miss you. But lots of luck we sure do wish you!” Hazel F. Greene “Saying is one thing, doing another. Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Chamber of Com¬ merce (3-4). We like people with Pep! Hazel has Pep! We like Hazel! But really there was no need to utilize a geometric process to arrive at this conclus ion. It’s an axiom generally accepted without any more proof than her apparent good¬ will, good-heart and happiness. Victor George “Vic” “(■real works sire performed not hy strengtli but by perseverance.” Hi-Y (2); Track Team (2-3-4); Cross Country, Captain (3). Vic is another one of the many fine fellows that compose this year’s class. An athlete of ability, he captained the cross-country team in his Junior year through an impressive season. Besides just gaining an education here in the halls of B. C. H. S., he has been making many friends who will miss his cheery smile and kindly disposition when he has left for the wide, wide world. Katharine L. Gee ‘Ka y “When I have anything to do, I go mid do it.” Honor Student (1-4); Special Chorus (1); Literary Club (2-3-4); Cheer Leader (4); Interclass Baseball (4). Sincere, sympathetic and sweet—she works quietly but with unusual effi¬ ciency. She has a delightful personality and willing helpfulness. Page Forty-five K XOK OK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 Joseph Gahagan “Let thy ivorilx be few.” Special Chorus (2); Congress Club (3-4). Joseph does let his words be few. Per¬ haps you’ve noticed it. Not that he doesn’t know what to say he merely knows when to say it. As you may have inferred, he’s not a noisy chap he’s a good worker and quite sincerely a loyal son” of B. C. H. S. Donald Grey “Don” “He i.s verily a King of the Ivories.” Band (1-2-3-4); Orchestra (2-3); Special Chorus (3-4); Boys’ Glee Club (3-4); Accompanist for Girls’ Glee Club (3); Hi-Y Club (4); Cheer Leader (4); Class Notable—Musician; B. C. H. S. Gold Key. To say that he is a passionate lover of music and a musician of no small means, especially at the piano where he reigns supreme, is to characterize Don Grey. As a pianist he can untwist all the ties that bind the mystic soul of harmony, while as a cheer leader he can untie all the knots that secure the dor¬ mant spirit of vocal enthusiasm. James Gitlitz “Jimmy” “Poets sire those who feel great truths. And tell them.” Scholarship Insignia (3-4); Weeks Prize Speaking Contest (3); Congress (4); Dramatics Class Play, ‘‘Expressing Willie” (4); Boys’ Varsity Debate (4); Publicity Committee “Expressing Wil¬ lie” (4); Meeker Prize Speaking Con¬ test (4); Constitutional Committee of Graduating Class (4); G. O. Reorganiza¬ tion Committee (4); House Committee, “A Woman’s Way” (4); Honor Student (4); Boys’ Week, Commissioner of Edu¬ cation (4); Chas. M. Dickinson Poetry Contest, Honorable Mention (4); Class Poet (4). If, by some chance, there are any who do not know Jim or should doubt the verity of the above quotation, let them simply turn to the inspiring class poem found on another page and they will most assuredly agree with us that here doth stand a Muse whose music is sublime. Suffice is it to say that Jim is also a great burner of the midnight oil and ex¬ pects to claim Cornell as his Alma Mater next year. Cornell always was lucky! Clifton Herrick “ ' Cliff ' ” “Modesty becomes a young ' man.” “Cliff” has made his mark in B. C. H. S. He doesn’t say much but he gets there just the same. He is more apt to be seen than heard, but he is a good listener and the old saying is “Silence is Golden.” Page Forty-six K XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 92 6 HOK Y ILLAKD HoGEBOOM “Ami mIIII lie spoke, mid .still tlif wonder Kreiv, That one small head could carry all he kn en. President of Nature Study Club (1); Con¬ gress Club (3-4); Honor Student (4). Eyeryone who is at all acquainted with W illcird knows that the persons who can equal him are few and far between. He i’ never idle and is always overflowing with friendliness and sympathy. He can be seen spinning about town almost any day in his distinguished roadster, which, by the way, is a product of his own workmanship. He has not entirely de¬ cided which college he will attend, but he has hopes of being in Cornell this fall. Kirk Heckmann “Heck” “I lm ve sold everything when I have named the man. ' ' Congress Club (1-2-3); Hi-Y Club (2-3-4); “Panorama” Reporter (3-4); Class Nota¬ ble—Smoothest Boy (4). Everyone knows Kirk. He was the boy who helped carry on the Y. M. C. A drive so successfully. In fact, Kirk is just the type who always wants to un¬ dertake some task and goes at it with enthusiasm. Of course, you’ve seen him in a certain person ' s company around school. Lydian Halliday “There is no treasure the which may be compared unto a faithful friend.” Literary Club (2-3-4); Varsity Swimming Team (2-3); Junior Basketball (3); Honor Student (4). Lydian is an amiable girl. She has spent her time in high school studying hard enough to maintain an “honor” average and finding time to be friendly to all. Thomas Herney “Tom” “A quiet unassuming youth.” Member of Runner-up Team for “Dinty Moore” Trophy Cup (4). Just want you to meet Thomas Herney, whom the above quotation pictures as a “quiet, unassuming” fellow. But then, you know, quotations are sometimes de¬ cidedly off color. In truth, he’s been an active, popular student, a fellow who has pleasantly accomplished much with the least possible “blowing of his own horn.” Wherever Tom goes we are going to follow his progress with a great deal of interest. Page Forty-seven K XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 DiOK. 31 Willard Haskins “You art- in Nome brown study” (Sometimes) Radio Club (1); Sophomore Football (2); Scholarship Award (2); Congress (3-4); Honor Student (4). Willard has always been one of our best students and finest fellows. Es¬ pecially has he shone in math and science. With his experience as a phar¬ macist we are sure he can mix his own compound for success. M ARIAN H AM MONI) ‘Honor fo whom honor is due.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4); Senior Tennis (4); Gold Key (4); Honor Student (4). M stands for many H stands for honors. How well Marian has lived up to her initials! Dorothy Hayes “Dot” “Music hath charm.” Second Orchestra (1); Nature Study Club (1): Friday Club (1-2-3-4); Perfect At¬ tendance (1-2-3); Girls’ Glee Club (1-2- 3); First Orchestra (2-3-4); Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4); Special Chorus (2); Gold Key, Orchestra (4). Dot always has a cheerful “hello” for everybody. Yes, she is the same Dot who plays in the orchestra. Watch out for her bow! Ir a Hulbert “Herein do lie real iiualities That go to make the man.” Hi-Y (2-3-4); Special Chorus (3-4); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (3-4). During his four years here, Ira has built up a mighty fine record and repu¬ tation for industry, conscientiousness, de¬ pendability, and geniality. Reaching h ; gh, he has hitched his wagon ' to a star, and has made a fine start towards his goal. Keep up the splendid work, and success will crown your efforts. Page Forty-eight K XOK X XOK X PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 Edward Humphrey “ Ed ” “Men of few words are the best men,” Orchestra (1-2). Ed is a quiet and unassuming chap whose high school career has not been heralded by a blare of trumpets, but marked by a sincerity of purpose and en¬ deavor that can claim the respect and approbation of all. As to what Ed is going to do, he is quite partial to phar¬ macy and chemistry. Marie Havko “Youth is full of sport.” Freshman Basketball Team (1); Literary Club (1-2-3-4) Varsity Basketball, Letter 2-3-4); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Play, “The Patchwork Quilt”, First Prize (3); Special Sweater Award (4); Senior Hockey Team (4); Honor Student (4). If Marie is only able to shoot at, and hit her goal in life, as well as she has shot baskets for the past four years, what a success she will be! Not only lias Marie reached the mark in basket¬ ball but she has done some good work in one-act plays. Clarence Heagy “Sweetest melodies Are those tiisit sire by clarinet inside more sweet.” Special Chorus (1); Band (1-2-3-4); Or¬ chestra (2-3-4); Gold Key (4). Clarence has found his place in high school in the music department. Every Wednesday morning has found him help¬ ing Mr. Hartley’s harmonizers serenade us to our seats. Likewise, every football game has found him out on the stands with the Band, playing to cheer on the team. Although their names are seldom heard, it is such fellows who make the school what it is. Harriet Harked “I ' m glad tlir sky is painted blue; And tlie earth is painted green. And such a lot of nice fresh air All sandwiched in between.” Orchestra (1-2-3-4); Scholarship (1); Dom Econ Club (2-3-4), Vice-President (3), President (4); Literary Club (3-4); Girls’ Violin Quartette (3-4); Honor Student (4); B. C. H. S. Gold Key. Harriet is a big deceiver! To look at her for the first time you’d think she were as quiet as a stopped clock—but when she opens fire with her witticisms, all of us ordinaries lend her our ears!

Run in the Relay at State Meet at Cornell (4). Reese is the banker and athlete—a rare combination. He has supported B. C. H. S. in all its projects, participating in several athletic activities. We shall miss his characteristic willingness to help in anything. Mary Hinckley “To .speak as common people lo, to think as wise men do.” Scholarship Award (1-2-3); Winning Team, Civic Club Debate (3); Literary Club (3-4), Assistant Secretary (3-4); B. C. H. S. Gold Key (4); Second Prize, Dis¬ inger Contest (4); Girls’ Varsity Debate (4); Senior Hockey Team (4); Assistant Treasurer Senior Class (4); Assistant Literary Editor “Panorama” (4); Honor Student (4); Class Day Officer, Testator (4). Brilliance actually shines from Mary, she’s so intelligent. When Mary starts debating or speaking her personality and eloquence are just too much—we have to agree with her! We could say a lot about Mary but—well, there’s no need because you all know her. Harold Hawks ‘Bud” “And 1 hereby hangs a tale. I don’t think Harold will mind if we say that he may be found quite often in the company of someone of the opposite sex. But perhaps the real reason for this state of affairs is that Harold is such a likeable fellow and just can’t help being popular. It might be, you know. James Haddad ‘Jimmy’ “1 may he little, hut, oh! my!” Chamber of Commerce (4); Congress Club (4). Jimmy is a big boy, not in size, but in studying ability. He hopes to master the bookkeeping world for all his in¬ terest is centered in that “art.” Never¬ theless, he is ready for a joke at all times, Page Fifty xok HOK x K X PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 92 6 Donis Holcomb “Dignity an l jollity aiil personality.” Lite-ary Club (3-4); Dom Econ (4). 1 know one girl who has never heard the word “nerves.” She can sit through the longest, stupidest forty-five minutes of the day without even so much as a twitch of her little finger. She must be her teachers’ ideal of how every pupil should act in class. But at the end of the period Doris is all action and heaps of fun. These two opposites can’t help but make her interesting because one constantly finds himself wondering how the same girl can be so quiet, even digni¬ fied one minute, and so jolly the next. Doris Henderson •v Hose is .sweeter in the liudde than full blmvne.” 3 events in Intercla-s Skating Meet (2). “Pep” is the adjective that best des¬ cribes Doris. She is always ready for a good time and leads her friends a merry chase in the process. If she skims over life’s bumpy surface as agilely as she glides over the ice she ' s sure to suc¬ ceed—for she is champion skater for the Southern Tier this year. Alice Hatfield “Knowledge is power.” Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4); Friday Club (3-4); B. C. H. S. Gold Key, Schol¬ arship (4); Senior Hockey Team (4); Secretary to the Mayor, Boys’ Week (4); Fourth High Honor (95.384) (4). The business firm that gets Alice is getting a prize. An honor student and the .iolliest of girls, her black hair and Rubbling personality will trim even a dull office. But then, Alice will do more than that; some day she expects an office of her own. On the door you’ll read, Law Firm—Hatfield and ?. Roger Hayes “Light hearted as the eare-free wren That flits ahnut the lilies.” Congress Club (2-3); Hi-Y Club (4). Roger has always taken the world lightly, much preferring the sunny side. But. notwithstanding, he has applied him¬ self and profited by his studies. During his stay here, he has shown himself partial to aquatics, basketball, the “Y” and a good time. To have Roger leave is to lose a ray of sunshine. Page Fifty-one K HOK XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 JC Ralph Kuczycke “(ire«( knowledge was Ills.” Orchestra (1); Scholarship (1-2-3); Track (4); Honor Student. You have seen Ralph on the platform several times. It seems to be a habit of his to be one of those to respond when Scholarship insignias are awarded. Keep that good habit, Ralph, and you’re sure to reap rewards. Norman Haight “Little figures mighty projects build. Baseball (2); Honor Student (4); Boys’ Week, Supervisor of Sewers (4). With a great liking for mathematics, Norman has just reveled in algebra with its cubes, and in chemistry with its in¬ tricacies unbounded. He hopes to fol¬ low along these lines after he leaves, consequently we expect to see him some day engineer a big construction project or make some startling discovery in the fields of science. Earl Hagman “Industry is the parent of fortune.” Vice-President of Hills, McLean Haskins Department Store for one day during Boys’ Week (1925). May T introduce Mr. Hagman, vice- president of Hills, McLean Haskins? At any rate, he held this position for a day during Boys’ Week last year. This ma y be considered a “sign from the gods” as Virgil so aptly expresses it. Considering too, Earl ' s ambition and how earnestly he has devoted himself to the business of going to school, we cer¬ tainly believe that the fates of the busi¬ ness world will be kind to him.

C. H. S. We who struggle with French, surely envy him the opportunity of living in a French-Canadian town. We wonder if he doesn’t possess a twist for adventure hidden in his little-known self. Mina Jones “Her way are the ways of pleasantness ami all her paths are Peace.” Friday Club (3-4); Senior Tennis Team (4); Senior Hockey Team (4); Manager Senior Basketball (4). Tile 1926 Year Book of B. C. H. S., if ever published, would contain the infor¬ mation that Mina Jones, a valued and universally well-liked member of the graduating class, left in February after successfully completing her course, to take a nurse’s course in a New York City hospital. It would go on to say that she is especially well adapted to choose such a career since she is energetic, efficient, intelligent, sympathetic and cheerful. All of which information is true. Kenneth Johnson (f T Kenny Happy, tliricc happy everyone. Who sees his labor well begun.” Hi-Y Club (2-3-4); Track Team (3); Spec¬ ial Chorus (3). Kenny’s first three years in “High” were spent in laying a foundation schol¬ astically. When he had accomplished this he started his work on the structure broadening his list of friends while pur¬ suing his studies. He will continue his building at Colgate next fall. Harold Jones “I liil not care one straw.” Orchestra (1). Harold—well what shall I say about Harold? He really hasn’t given us much to say about him. However, this is as true of his “deficiencies as of his avail¬ able gifts.” And saying that, we’ve said a great deal, I think. Page Fifty-three K XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 XOK 31 jnEnmEiiiiEi::; Ronald Jenkins “Care’ll kill a Cal.” Band (3); Special Chorus (4); Boys’ Glee Club (4). They say that “Care will kill a cat.” However, we feel that Ronald will never be in danger of dying- such a death in view of his cheerfulness and his re¬ fusal to be worried by petty trifles. Furthermore, we might add that he at¬ tends to his everyday tasks at the most fitting time and place, thus alleviating any cause for being worried. It ' s a good method. Melvin Johnson “Rhythm to the finger lips.” Track (1-2); Band (1-2-3-4); Orchestra (2); Special Chorus (3); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Boys’ Glee Club (4). I am pleased to introduce to those of you who do not already know him, Mel¬ vin Johnson. He is a distinguished person in that he plays the clarinet, the trombone, the typewriter, and perhaps other musical instruments. He possesses three valuable character¬ istics, humor, loyalty, and willingness. If you are particularly downcast, I ad¬ vise your making acquaintance with Melvin. Laura Joyce “I sun in e arnest.” Special Chorus (1); Honor Student (1-2- 3-4); Class Notable—Quietest. “How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood”—and especially Miss Brown ' s A 7 irg - il class. Do you remember Laura Joyce who used to know that awful declension of “deus” which de¬ veloped a new form every day? And who used even to be able to keep those wretched gods in their places although they traded ancestors just as soon as you thought you ' d learned them for good and all? How we did admire Laura—so calm in spite of the furious onslaughts ot declensions, imperatives and refer- ences! Seriously, though, she always had L m Latin and in a good many other things besides.

Herbert is a big, little boy. Under his air of indifference we know that he is really a good sport and has a few in¬ terests in this world. One of these in¬ terests is the swimming team, on which he has been an active member. Berdelia Keesler “Bright us :i lollsir.” Yes, she’s bright, and also much more valuable than the aforementioned dollar. Always willing to do her best—which isn ' t such a common characteristic. From faraway Washington is Berdelia. How glad we are that she came, and how sorry we are to lose her now! John Knapp “ Johnny ” “IHnys may come, uml play. may go—but, John never naps.” Manager, Dramatics Class Play, “Roman¬ tic Age” (3); Manager, Dramatics Class Plays, “Mary the Third,” “The Truth About Blayds,” “The Truth” (4); Man¬ ager, Class Play, “The Patchwork Quilt”, 1st Prize at Ithaca (4); Gold Key (4). A curtain rings down with hearty ap¬ plause, flowers come up the aisle, the leading man receives and distributes them, but out behind the scenes is “stage-door Johnny.” He’s rung down that final curtain on his high school career, yet we know that the mere finale of graduation is not going to erase the memory of Johnny and his cheery personage. Good-bye, John, “take keel - of yourself.” Myra Kino “Industrious people are always happy. ' Special Chorus (2-3-4). WANTED—A patient, ambitious and cheerful girl to perform difficult and small tasks. We have just the one— Myra King. Whatever she undertakes, be it big or small, difficult or easy, she does it well. Page Fifty-five 1C XOSC X PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 « -v a k -IX Rudolph Krna “He blows sweet tones that linger long ' . And bind themselves Into a song.” Basketball Squad (2); Gymnasium Leader (3); Band (2-3-4); Orchestra (2-3-4); Gold Key (4); Contest, Orchestra, Ithaca (4); Contest, Band, Ithaca (4). Nothing- is so sweet as music when rightly played. And Rudolph has always done justice to his selections. Aside from the fact that he can blow clear, round J nes from his familiar cornet, he can also master the spirit of the saxo¬ phone, and draw out pure, strong notes that linger vibrantly before they take their flight. Truly a musician is Rudolph! Iris Kail “The proof of the pudding Is the eating.” Special Chorus (1-2); Friday Club (2-3-4); Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4), Secre¬ tary-Treasurer (4); Honor Student (4); Senior Hockey Team (4). No one could ever say of Iris, “She’s nice enough, but—.” There are no “buts” about Iris. Teachers never complain that she’s stupid and won’t study. Her class¬ mates never report that she’s disagree¬ able; and no one could possibly call her a poor sport r a “stick.” So, if you don’t know Iris, you’d better be intro¬ duced immediately! Sarah Kata “Never idle a moment.” Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4). Sarah worked hard with her commer¬ cial subjects and also with the office job that she held afternoons. She is planning to be a trained nurse. Here’s to Sarah, may she “train” us, too. Ernest Kocak “Ernie” “Ability to mind one’s own business is a virtue.” Radio Club (2-3). One reason why Ernie has made so many worthwhile friends in school is that he has never meddled in their af¬ fairs. And yet he has never been un¬ sympathetic or uninterested either. I here is just something in his quiet way that makes him liked by everyone who meets him. May he always keep what friends he has and add many more to them. Page Fifty-six K PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 XOK 310JC Nicholas Kliment “Nick” “His ingenuit y iiimI iierseverance know mi hounds.” Special Chorus (1); Varsity Swimming (1); Freshman Basketball, Captain (1); Varsity Basketball (2); “Gym” Leaders Corporal (3); Champion Speedball Team (4); Class Notable—Hardest Plugger (4). During the time we’ve known him, the name of Nicholas Kliment has always brought to our minds the vision of a hard-working, likeable fellow. He’s been a good student, (with German his fav¬ orite dish?), and has proved his in¬ genuity with several cleverly devised wood-carvings used in one of his classes. “Nick” is also quite a basketball player, having “made” the Varsity squad in his Junior year and then leading a gym class five to the finals in the struggle for the historic “Dinty Moore” Cup. Marion Knowlton “Her eyes as stars of twilight fair, I,ike twilight too her dusky hair, But all things else about her drawn From May-time and the cheerful dawn.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4); Special Chorus (1- 2); Dom Econ (2-3-4). A slow smile and a pleasant drawl and Marion walks right into your heart. She has an unusual little habit of doing a great deal in a very quiet way. Richard Kent “Dick” “Who lias gone farthest? I will go farther!” Hi-Y (1-2-3-4); Interclass Track (1-2); Varsity Track Squad (3); Varsity Track Letter (4); Varsity Basketball Squad (2); Football Squad (4); Leader, Dra¬ matics Class Play “Expressing Willie” (4); Boys’ Week, President of Common Council (4); Track Team:100 yds, High Jump, First Place Elmira, Ithaca, Cort¬ land, Sectional Meets (4). And here we have one of the most “expressive” fellows in high school, as those who witnessed his portrayal of Willie Smith will attest. As an actor, Dick is beyond reproach, and as a half¬ back he is behind the line where he plays a fast and superb game of real football. In addition to being also a basketball player, he is as fine a track man as ever sped over the cinder path. Too bad to see you leave, Dick! Agnes M. Kleitz “She’s � laughing, peppy dame. Always joking, always game. Never, never quite the same.” Honor Student (1-2-3-4); Scholarship Award (1-2-3); Gold Key (4); Literary Club (2-3-4); First Prize, Monday After¬ noon Poetry Contest (2). Agnes is a little happy-go-lucky sort of girl who never lets worried wrinkles over-ride her countenance. We all envy her ability to accomplish a great deal in a short time and still maintain her equilibrium and her good nature.

H. S. Gold Key (4). Have you ever met a person whom you instinctively liked?—a person with a real, magnetic, personal charm? If you haven’t met a single person of that qual¬ ity, just step right up and let me intro¬ duce you to Helen Kelly. She’s quiet, with a certain air of reserve, an unassum¬ ing, diligent worker and supporter in our school life. Not only student activities have received her earnest support, but her studies, which she backs up with “high honor” marks, surely have. We hear that Smith will see Helen in the ranks of her undergraduates next fall Winifred Keiser “Slie will Sing the Savageness out of a Bear.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4), Secretary 1st Half (3-4); Corporal, Girls’ Civic League (1); Advertising Manager, “Mary the Third” (3); Leading Lady, “The Truth About Blayds” (4); Ithaca State-wide Contest Play, “The Stepmother” (4); Assistant Alumni Editor of “Panorama” (3); Student Member, Program Committee of Home-School Association (4); Special Chorus (4); Glee Club (4); Special Awards Committee, Secretary (4); B. C. H. S. Gold Key (4); Personnel Man¬ ager and Store Teacher of Hills, Boys’ Week (4); Class Notable—Best Natured Girl (4); Third High Honor 95.464. “Windy” is our newly discovered prima donna. She is not satisfied with E’s in Latin, etc., but she must also be gifted otherwise. We’re not certain whether she will enter Vassar next year or start training for the Metropolitan Bessie Katz “Small In body, mighty in hrnin.” Winning Team, Civic Club Debate (3); Chamber of Commerce (4); Honor Student (4). Bessie is that wee little girl who was one of the all-round students in B. C. H. S. She proved a fine debater, wearing on one of her fingers a Civic Club De¬ bate ring. If you ever happened to get a glance at her report cards you know that they were fine ones. Myfanwy King “So doth the busy bee.’ Literary Club (3-4); Class Notable— “Ideal Couple.” “So doth the busy bee” is easily ap¬ plicable to Myfanwy King. She takes an active interest (physically and mentally) in everything which vitally concerns her, especially lessons. Perhaps you have seen her, dashing madly about the cor¬ ridors in the early hush of dawn, intent on polishing up her mental apparatus in preparation for the day’s scholastic struggles. But in spite of our flippancy, we are very glad that someone is so in¬ terested in lessons. page Fifty-eight 3tOK=c PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 x= OK=zr= Alphonse Konecxy “Al” “If ' 11 would lift me, you must l)e on higher ground,” Freshman Basketball Team (1). “Al” Is drawing to a close his four years’ sojourn here in old B. C. H. S„ much to the sorrow of the many friends he will leave behind, for Al is a good sport and certainly well liked. When he goes, the world’s gain will be our loss. Sarah Le ene “What a man has, mo much Im he sure of.” Orchestra (1-2-3-4); Chamber of Com¬ merce (3-4); Girls’ Violin Quartette (4); Gold Key (4); Honor Student (4). If you bet on Sarah, you’re betting on a sure thing. That’s what we like about her—she’s surely there, she’s dependa¬ ble, without being a “stick” or a “prig.” If you want proof, look at her scholastic record and the record of her service in our high school orchestra. Anne Lape “A merry heart goes all the day.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4). Anne is a very sweet girl and has a host of friends. She has a cheerful way about her that just seems to make one like her. If we told you her other good qualities, it would sound like a G. O. nomination speech, so we’ll refrain from that. Hugh Lott “Happy art thou, as If every day thou liadst picked up a horseshoe.” Hi-Y (2-3); Congress (2); Varsity Foot¬ ball (3-4); Secretary of G. O. (3); Treas¬ urer of Junior Class (3); Baseball Team (4); Class Notable—Heart Breaker (Boy) (4). Hugh has gained much renown from his prowess in athletics, but probably even more for the “smile that splits his face in half” and for his glowing blush. We don’t know what we’ll do when we don’t have him to blush for us up on the stage next year. Page Fifty-nine k HOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 « ’ . Carroll Lynch “The Max hath charms to .soothe the savage breast.” Band (3-4). Accomplishment lists are sometimes deceiving ' . They tell only what a fellow has done in school, and some fellows do more outside of school. Carrol is like that. He has always made his hands carry out the ideas of his head. As a result, he made his first radio three or four years ago, and he has made others since. In fact he has always liked to make things. And wherever he goes from here, we are sure he will make a success. Beatrice I.enrow “Bee” “Victory follows me, and all things fol¬ low victory.” Special Chorus (1); Freshman Basketball (1); Tennis Team (3); Varsity Basket¬ ball Squad (3-4), Letter (4); Junior Bas¬ ketball (3); Senior Hockey Team (4); Dom Econ Club (4). Bee is a girl who gets along in high school because she’s just plain bright, not because she overworks herself studying. Basketball is just one of her side-lines but she attacks it with vim, vigor and vitality, so we know she’s going to do something great one of “these here” days. Francis LeBaron “Sweet sire the rewards for tasks well done.” Special Chorus (1-4); Honor Student (4). Possessed of indomitable ambition, Francis has made the most of high school, and is now ready to enter upon a bigger task of making his mark in the world. Ever conscientious application to the task at hand, and earnest sincerity in every act, be it large or small, have characterized his four years’ sojourn here. It’s just such qualities as these that serve as milestones on the high road to Success! Helen I.onergan “Devoted, anxious, generous, void of guile. And with her whole heart ' s welcome in her smile.” Corporal, Girls Civic League (1); Special Chorus (1-2); Chamber of Commerce (2-3); Friday Club (4); Graduation in 3 x 2 years. Quiet and unassuming she has crept her way into our hearts and left there a living portrait. We’ll not soon forget her studious endeavors and sweet com¬ radeship. « Page Sixty K XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 92 6 XOK Philippa Lomonaco “Phil” “TlirPe ' H many n black, black eye, they May, but none no bright a.s mine.” Chamber of Commerce (3-4). ‘ Phil” is a little mite of a thing but she is big enough to hold a position in our school bank. That’s quite an ac¬ complishment but it is deserved by “Phil.” Pep is a word applicable to her. Permelia Lakin “The very flower of youth.” Permelia is rather quiet, but somehow you always know she ' s there. Perhaps it ' s because her black hair and her brown eyes are so attractive, perhaps be¬ cause she’s so friendly to everyone, but more likely it’s both of these. A if il i t . j.”. Jf ’ H ' ♦ ' ,!

Marjorie Lakin is artistic, physically and mentally. She has been a valued member of our art department while in B. C. H. S., and until certain events oc- , cur,red recently, we fully e,xpec.ted at some, time to receive from her a letter postmarked “Greenwich Village.” As for her beauty, don’t trust this photo¬ graph for details.

At least that’s the unanimous verdict of Friday Club, for they’ve condemned her to be our President for the last two ferros.

Somehow, we couldn’t get along with¬ out Fifi. True, she does make a goodish bit of disturbance—she ' s our “noisiest o-;,.]”—but she does a good many other things, too. If there isn’t something to do for the glory of the school, then she’ll do it for the glory of her class. We think she’s done quite a bit for the Senior Class. Ethel Levine “This «ns a good week ' s labor.” Advertising Manager of “The Truth About Blayds” (3); 3rd Prize, Poster Contest, “The Truth About Blayds” (3). If you haven’t seen or heard much of Ethel, you’ve at least seen her name on some committee, especially on the pro¬ gram of the Dramatics Class plays. She always works hard trying to put a thing over by doing the inconspicuous work. Now judge for yourself the sort of girl Ethel is! Esther Lawrence “Farr if 99 “My heart is true as steel—hut not so cold.” Literarv Club (1-2-3-4): Swimming Team (2-3-4), Letter (4); Tennis (2-3-4). Esther, the brave girl, has gone into hoys’ classes to beat boys all up at Me¬ chanical Drawing and such things. (They call her “Larry” now.) She wields a forceful tennis racket. She’s a shark at swimming. She is a booster of all -chool activities. And, to top it all, Larry’s an all-round, fine, lovable girl. Gertrude Miner Pat 99 “Whistling girls and crowing hens Always come to some bad end!” That’s all “bunk!” If you don’t be¬ hove it. look at “Pat” Miner.

Although her name is Miner, Kay has been a major to her friends. For the past two years she has been better than fi31 or 520 could ever be. Kay was on the Junior Hockey team last year, and is a loyal B. C. H. S. supporter in all ac¬ tivities. Unlike most girls she has but one Earnest Ame(s) in life. This next year. Kay is going to Albany State to study to be a domestic science teacher. Clark Metzgar “Bud” “He .smiles, and smiles, and smiles.” A skip, a hop, a slide and open goes the door. Enter ladies! What the girls will do without “Bud” to open the doors for them is more than we can guess. “Bud” always finds a great deal of fun in everything he does which is really not so bad after all. Underneath that smile, we have a suspicion that something more serious lies, as is revealed by the good marks he has had during his four years with us. Barbara Milford Barb” “Wurtli makes the woman.” Special Chorus (1); Hiking Club (1); Fri¬ day Club (2-3-4); Dom Econ (3-4); Grad¬ uating in 3 y 2 years; Honor Student. Major Premise: Anyone possessing such characteristics as loyalty, cheerful¬ ness, and sincerity is worth knowing. Minor Premise: Barbara Mulford pos¬ sesses these characteristics. Conclusion: Therefore, Barbara Mul¬ ford is worth knowing. Raymond Tatteson “Honor lies in honest toil.” Congress (2-3-4). Tn Raymond will be found an ardent supporter of B. C. H. S., whosfe presence will be missed next year. He has faith¬ fully applied himself to the task of mas¬ tering whatever came his way, till now, that all obstacles have been overcome, he is leaving for a wider field. As a member of Congress he has been active and has secured himself in the hearts of many. e Hi Page Sixty-three K XOK XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 K Robert L. Moses “Bob” “Be merry if you are wise.” Band (1-2-3-4); Interclass Speedball (3); Baseball Squad (4). Sure, I know Bob Moses. He’s a quiet- appearing sort of chap, but I’m thinking he could create disturbance enough if he tried. We haven’t seen a great deal of Bob, these four years, but he’s been here just the same. And you might have seen him, had you looked, cheering his head off at a football game or brighten¬ ing up our spacious halls of learning with his sweet and sunny smile . Mary Alma Multer “Hang the gray days! The deuce to pay days! The feeling - blue - and - nothing - to - do- days!” Corporal, Girls’ Civic League (1); Literary Club (1-2-3-4), Secretary (4); “Lit” Play, “The Senior” (2); Assistant Literary Editor of “Panorama” (3); Junior and Varsity Tennis Teams (3); Dramatics Class Play, “The Truth About Blayds” (3) ; First Prize Play at Ithaca Con¬ servatory of Music, “The Patchwork Quilt” (3); Dramatics’ Insignia (3); Exchange Editor of “Panorama” (4); Honor Student (4); Senior Tennis Team (4) ; Class Notable—Best Girl Dancer (4). One’s first impression of Mary Alma is sometimes waylaid by the naughty twinkle exuding from her orbs. Her blue outlook on life lies only in the color of her eyes—enviable “blue”, those. Mary does all things with equal vim and vigor, and she leaves a good record behind her in whatever she undertakes. Francis Minehan “Dip” “What Is sunshine for, hut to bask In?” Football Squad (2); Junior Varsity Foot¬ ball (3); Baseball (3). The world has been a sunny one to Francis, especially during his high school days, and he’s partaken of its sunshine and passed it on to others. Though he rarely tackled his assignments with ex¬ cess gusto, he has weathered the storms and put into port in great shape. We wish you the best of luck on your next voyage, Francis. Marian Marshall “Maryann” “True hearts can turn Their own Decembers into Mays.” Lady Jane Grey School (1); Swimming Squad (2); Literary Club (3-4); Junior Girls’ Basketball Team (3); Class Hockey Team (4); Class Basketball Team (4); Class Baseball Team (4). • Marian’s heart is true, as true, as true can be and that is the secret of why Marian has so many friends. Ask her to do a favor for you, great or small, and Marian is always willing and smiling. Constancy and patience made her an ex¬ cellent student and her report card one worthy of display.

Than the smiles of other maidens are.’ Student in Cortland High 3y 2 Years; En¬ tered Binghamton High in 1925. Bright blue eyes, dusky curly hair and a wee bit of brogue distinguish this sister of our worthy football captain. We don’t know just what there is about that slight turn of the tongue, but it seems to enthrall those who pass within its echo. Edward McGinnis ‘Mac’ He ' s rather slow, soft-spoken, and a mighty fine fellow to know.” Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Congress (3- 4); Baseball (2-3-4); Football (3-4), Captain of Football Team (4). Edward McGinnis, captain of this year’s football team, is the present topic for discussion. “Mac,” with his long, slow stride, dry humor, and ready smile, has been a fixture in our daily trips around this “mansion.” He also has quite a reputation as a classical dancer (?) as we have heard of late. An agree¬ able friend and a sterling athlete .com¬ bine to make a mighty “good fellow”— alias—“Ed” McGinnis. Marion E. McAvoy • ' Surer to prosper tiuin prosperity could have assur ' d.” Friday Club (2-3-4), Sergeant-at-Arms (3); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); L. C. Smith 30 word Certificate (3). Her smile will help her over many a hard bump in business. Smiles and good jobs go hand in hand, together, you know. 5 Page Sixty-five JC BOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 XOK 3 � .John Moore “The true success is to labor.” Special Chorus (1-2); Nature Study Club ( 1 ). If a good beginning means success, John Moore certainly will be successful. He finished here last January and im¬ mediately entered Oswego Normal where he was elected president of the Fresh¬ man class. Then, because of his bril¬ liance and our advanced course in draw¬ ing, John has a little “2 by 4” office in which he draws the plans for the ex¬ tension of the school. We are mighty proud of our graduate and urge him to “keep up the good work.” Frances Maynard “Her nose tip-tilted like the petal of a flower.” Special Chorus (4); Literary Club (4); Dom Econ (4). Her “turned-up” nose, with her twink¬ ling blue eyes, gives Frances quite a mis¬ chievous appearance and she is one per¬ son who acts as she looks. However, she isn’t harmfully mischievous but just full of fun. .John Monkievicz “ Jinss ” o n “To win friends is good and to hold them even better.” Chamber of Commerce (4). Patience and perseverance are a fine team, and one which John drives daily. John also has many other good qualities of which his chief is business-likeness. This will certainly make him a success in the industrial world which he expects to enter. Thomas Millard “ Tommy ” “Life is too important to take seriously.” Chamber of Commerce (1-2-3-4). Oftimes the light-hearted buoyancy and carefree attitude of Tommy remind us quite forcibly of the jovial Mr. Mi- cawber. It is true, Tommy has never really exerted himself, but then, never did Mr. Micawber,—and see what a suc¬ cess he became. Here’s hoping some¬ thing will turn up,” Tom, old boy!

Is Harold serious? Why yes, he is, seriously humorous. We wonder how Harold can say the irresistibly funny things he does say without the slightest ripple of amusement making an appear¬ ance on his countenance. Not only is Harold keen in his appreciation of the humorous side of life but he is equally keen in the pursuit of his studies. We hear he drives a Cadillac, here’s hoping he “straight-eights to success.” Eliza Milks “Sweet personality—full of rascality.” That fits Eliza to a “T”. She’s put forth a noble effort in conquering the obstacles (mainly studies) along the primrose path of high school,—yet never has the merry twinkle of her sparkling eye grown dim. Take council, O ye lads of earth! Methinks, herein lies a girl worth knowing. Edivard Mason “A good man possesses a kingdom.” Nature Study Club (1); Interclass Speed- ball (4); Congress Club (4). Edward is distinctly a “good egg.” He’s inclined to show interest in everything that interests him which is nearly every¬ thing interesting in school. And that’s a good deal when you consider how many interesting things there are in school, such as lessons, teachers, football, dra¬ matics—oh, I might go on forever. Harold MacKnight ‘Mac’ “You hear that boy laughing?—You think he ' s all fun.” Congress Club (1). Merriment and mathematics sounds like an unusual combination. Yet that’s just what Harold makes it his business to join, and he does very well at it too. Here’s hoping that he may never lose his sehse of humor, however much math he may have to masticate. Page Sixty-seven XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 HOK 3i Helen Nelson “A poem a day keeps the blues away.” Special Chorus (2-3-4); Chamber of Com¬ merce (4); Advertising Committee for Hill’s, Boys’ Week (4). Here’s a girl whose method of self- expression is poetry, and who of us would not give a small fortune to be able to put our fleeting thoughts to rhythm? Helen’s philosophy of life is that an hour spent on the typewriter in the making of a poem is a sure cure for all mental disturbances. She is doubt¬ less right; but suppose we have not even acquired the art of running a typewriter, to say nothing of waxing poetical? In such a case, Helen, what would you suggest? Grace Nugent tr Billie “We are never so happy or so unhappy as we suppose.” Special Chorus (1-2); Literary Club (3-4); Girls’ Interclass Hockey Team (4); Girls’ Interclass Basketball Team (4); Girls’ Interclass Baseball Team (4); Honor Student (4). Easy going and apparently never ruffled, Grace does everything a Senior should do. Together with this she is such good company that all her free periods are used for her by her class¬ mates. II. Esther Newing “Chick” “She opened in each heart a little heaven.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4); Special Chorus (1); Scholarship Insignia (2); Glee Club (4); Honor Student (4). “C hick”—that’s Esther—is H appy of disposition, I ndividual of ideas, C areful in her work, and the K indest friend one cares to find. Jean Newman “Silence is more eloquent than words.” Congress Club (2); Track (2-3). Jean is small, dark and very serious, apparently. But he really is a good sport when it’s fun that’s wanted.

But his father told him to cut out the “night work” if he was going away to school. Jimmy, alias “Prex”, is planning to take up business administration at Albany State. That’s quite a course to take but hard work spells success pro¬ vided it is spelled and applied correctly. Catperine Prytherch “Friendship is as nneient as the world.” Special Chorus (1); Literary Club (1-2-3- 4); Corporal of Girls’ Civic League (1); Scholarship Insignia (2-3-4); Class Bas¬ ketball (2-3-4); Class Tennis (3); Class Baseball (4); Class Hockey (4); Honor Student (4). Catherine is a girl with many friends. Her sunny nature acts just like a mag¬ net. She leaves B. C. H. S. to go to Pratt’s Institute. Catherine is going to be a designer and dressmaker. Some¬ time in the near future we will probably see this sign. “The Fashionable Modiste’’ or some similar words, and beneath them, Catherine Prytherch. Howard Parker “Opportunity? I make opportunity!” Congress Club (1-2-3-4), Vice-President and President (4); Orchestra (1-2-3-4); Pres¬ ident of Freshman Class (1); “Pano¬ rama” Reporter (1); Third Prize, Meek¬ er Speaking Contest (2); Second Prize Harvard Speaking Contest (3); Dra¬ matics Class Plays, “Mary the Third,” and “The Truth About Blayds” (3); Chamber of Commerce (4); Dramatics Class Plays, “The Truth,” and “You and I” (4); Class Essayist (4); Gold Key (4). Again we have a musician. But Howard’s accomplishments have not been limited to the fields of music. No speak¬ ing contest would seem complete with¬ out his participation. In the dramatic offerings, his characterizations stand out as some of the finest conceived and ex¬ ecuted on our stage. His popularity with his fellows is born out by his activity in Congress, the presidency of which he filled in his Senior year. Dorothea Payne “Dotty” “She brought forth strains that were enchanting.” Special Chorus (1); Literary Club (1-2- 3-4). What is that I hear? A rippling laugh. And what is that I see? A curly headed maid appear. Could it be “Dotty?” Besides being charming, she is well known for her ability as a pianist and for her cleverness in sewing. ■ .

Wilbur has a quiet, unostentatious way about him that has distinguished his four years in B. C. H. S. His likeable personality and his geniaiity have won him many a friend. If Wilbur goes into life in the earnest and determined man¬ ner that has characterized his work here at school, we have no doubt as to his ultimate success. Barney Puglisi “Not happy-go-lucky but happy and lucky.” Track (2-3-4); Cross Country (2-3), Letter Man; Medley Relay Team, 1st Place in Cortland Interscholastic Meet; Relay Team, Sec. 8 in State Meet (4). Barney simply fits in any place not merely because he is so small but be¬ cause he is good-natured, good-hearted and, well, to say it in the shortest way, he is as good as gold. Frank Phelps “Industry Is its own reward.” Captain of Freshman Basketball (1); Varsity Basketball (1); Varsity Base¬ ball (3). Frank is one of the fellows who had to work outside of school, and conse¬ quently was never able to show us what he could do. Nevertheless, he did show up well on the baseball diamond. More than that, he made some friends who will always remember him; and really that is just as important a side of school life as any other. Maurice Quain “Anything tor quiet life.” Freshman Football (1); Junior Basket¬ ball (3). We must have somebody to cheer,—we can’t all be cheer leaders we must have somebody to watch the game,—we can’t all be players; we must have somebody to study,—we can’t all be teachers. And here s where Maurice plays his part,-—- just showing a sincere interest in every¬ thing.

But where he feels most at home is not in the quartet, not in the President’s chair, but out on the gridiron, waiting for the right number to pass back that old pigskin and bust a hole in somebody’s line.

Timothy Reed Tim’ “His very foot lias limsie in it.” Band (1-2-3-4); Orchestra (1-2-3-4); Gold Key (3); Special Chorus (4); Boys’ Glee Club (4). Tim is a fellow you can’t help but like, and who, through his high school career, has made friends right and left. A boy with an imagination, a passion for music, and a smile that won’t come off—that’s Tim. If you’ll but glance at his accom¬ plishment list you’ll find him also the possessor of the coveted gold key. If we may judge by his excellent work in the music department, some day we may dance to his orchestra, enjoy a musical comedy, or hum a song hit of his. Edna Roydes “Eddie” “Every iitan lists his gift, and the tools go to liiin who esin use them.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4); Scholarship Award (1-2-4); Honor Student (4). Edna’s gift is drawing and she is very clever at it. If you have ever noticed any of the cuts drawn by her in the Panorama” you will agree. We hope that she goes on making a success of this gift after her graduation. Dayton Ross 1 pray you, work not so hard!” An expert in school-life, play time and automobiles.

In her disposition there is a fine sub¬ tleness accompanied by the quality of understanding. She radiates an air of pleasantness which makes everyone like her. And she is going ' to capture the commercial world with her attentiveness to duty. John Scaloni “To work is to achieve. Swimming (2-4); Hi-Y (3-4); Track (4). Although John has never done any¬ thing unusual dur ing his four years’ so- iourn here, whatever he has turned his hand to has been done well. While we don ' t fancy he’ll ever be President, we expect much from him. It is his hones.y and sincere industry which will help him achieve his ends. Dora Si.eepf.r “A merry heart goeth all the day.” Weeks Speaking Contest (1); Dom Econ Club (2-3-4); Literary Club (3-4); Junior Basketball Team (3); Disinger Speaking Contest (4); Senior Girls’ Hockey Team Captain (4); Senior Girls’ Basketball Team (4); Senior Girls’ Tennis Team (4); Honor Student (4). This merry heart of Dora ' s appears to be very versatile. From public speaking to hockey, from hockey to scholastic duties, arid from scholastic duties back to that rollicking sport, basketball. It takes a capable person to do all of these things well and that is just what Dora is. Royal Sleeper “Rusty” “It ' s always fair weather when good fel¬ lows get together.” Chamber of Commerce (1-2); Hi-Y Club (1-2-3-4); Sophomore Football Team (2); Varsity Football Team (3). “Rusty” has led a varied life in high school. He is better known for his ability on the football field than in the class-room. However, just to be differ¬ ent. he tried getting on the honor roll for a spell, and he did it, too. And when¬ ever you’re out for a good time, remem¬ ber, so is “Rusty.” Page Seventy-three K XOK IX OK 31 PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 WiLHELMiNA Sebesta “ Billie” “Whose little body lodged :i mighty mind.” First Prize, Weeks Contest (1); Basket¬ ball, Varsity (1); Scholarship Award (1-2-3); First Prize, Disinger Contest (2) ; Civics’ Club Debate (2-3), Leader (3) ; “Panorama” Reporter (2), Sport Editor (4); Literary Club (2-3-4); Cap¬ tain.

Billie is one of the best known girls in school. She takes part in practically every high school activity and the un¬ usual part of it is that she is good in everything. Tennis is her star game; you ought to see her play! John Skrovanek “Happiness herein dntli dwell.’ Junior Basketball Team (3). If among John’s good qualities we were to select one, that would be his ability in mathematics. This alone would indicate a keen mind. But, lest anyone might be led to think him too profound, let us say that John is always ready for fun.

How many people like Kay? As many as know her and some who don’t. What does Kay do? She debates, makes friends, and incidentally studies. What does Kay possess that makes everyone like her so? That unknown un-understandable some¬ thing—some people call it personality. Some girl, n’ est-ce pas? Francis Seely “No, Sir! My .smile won’t rub off.” Special Chorus (1); Congress ' Club (2-3- 4), Treasurer (4). If there is anyone who has ever seen Francis when he wasn’t smiling or laugh¬ ing or just grinning, he may consider himself in a lonesome minority. If there’s nothing to smile at, Francis just naturally smiles anyway. He is mighty well liked by all the fellows, active in school affairs, a member of Congress, and recently supervised the treasury of that honorable body.

But you can ' t keep a good man down, so he always comes back for more,—as en¬ thusiastic as ever. As everyone is well acquainted with the fact that “Sherm” is a fine fellow, energetic, studious, etc., it would seem foolish to repeat what is al¬ ready known. We are sure that lie will continue his success at the University of Pennsylvania. H elen Sherman “Ride on! The prize 1 nenr.” Chamber of Commerce (4). A studious girl is Helen. She is al¬ ways prepared in her lessons. She also helps her Dad in his store which is an¬ other point to Helen’s credit. Quick and ready is she, and therefore she will be successful in her business career. Reginald Simonson “It ' interest that keeps peace.” Orchestra (1-2-3).

Frieda Schadrinsky “Fritzie 99 “Music 1 well snid to he the speech of angels.” Orchestra (1-2-3-4); Girls’ Violin Quartet (3-4); Chairman of Advertising Com¬ mittee for Fall Music Festival (3); Chamber of Commerce (4); Insignia for Debate (4). And how Frieda can make that music! She tucks that little violin under her chin and draws the bow and lo! and be¬ hold! Music pours forth like molten gold. She makes us all happier with he” music. Page Seventy-five K PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 Sarah Shapiro “A life that moves to gracious ends.” Chamber of Commerce (4). larah is always ready for a bit of nonsense. She is happy in her work in cchool. Her commercial studies are fit¬ ting her for a stenographic position. No¬ body knows whose secretary or stenog¬ rapher she may be—perhaps the Presi¬ dent’s! Dwight Santmier “He’s pleasant, he’s cheery. Of him you don’t grow weary.” Dwight is a fellow whom you just can’t help liking. He’s quiet, rather serious, a good fellow to converse with on any subiect. a better fellow when you learn to know him, and the best sort of fel¬ low to have as a friend. The reason— he’s a good sport, just ask any of his friends, he has lots of ’em. Graef Santmier “Silence is golden,—That’s why lie’s worth so much.” Special Chorus (4); 3 y 2 Years Perfect At¬ tendance. A really pleasant fellow is Graef, quiet and reserved—but those who know him best like him best. He has worn mighty well as a student and friend. At present. Graef is undecided as to whether or not he will go on to college next fall, but if he should go, some institution of higher learning is going to receive a nice brand new Freshman, a fellow with a certain air of reserve strength. Amelia Schmidt c ' Emviij “A merry heart niakelli a cheerful countenance.” Special Chorus (1-2); Friday Club (2-3-4); Dorn Econ (2-3-4). Did you ever see Amy when she wasn’t smiling? She really is one of the most cheerful persons one has ever met. Besides she is as kind and willing as she is cheerful. In fact, we can ' t say anything about Amy that isn’t flattering. Page Seventy-six £ {OK 6 - -V PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 K l AMI EL SHURTLEFF “Slow responses siiukcmI deep thought.” Junior Basketball Team (3). Surely there is nothing- shallow about Samuel. We have a feeling from the deep look in his eyes and from the wis- do n displayed by his response s in Eng- l’«h class that there are profound thoughts smoldering in his brain. Then again a twinkly look comes into those e ps dispersing that deep look and giv¬ ing a hint of some unknown humor far beyond our sphere. Annaii Sheldon ‘ Anm “Brilliant ns the stars above.” Scholarship Insignia (2-3); Special Chorus 3-4); Girls’ Interclass Tennis Squad (3- 4); Honor Student (4). Small, shy, but oh how bright! This seems to fit Annah to a “T”. Each year when the call for tennis has been made, Annah has been one of the first girls to respond. Prilliant and resolute as Annah is. she will no doubt reach the height of the stars. Emmett Stickle “And I must toil eaeli morning.” Track (3). Emmett is one of those boys who can acquire a lot in a short time. 119 will miss him in the mornings. His genial nature wins for him many friends. Lucy Smith ‘Lou’ “A cheerful lass, as cheerful’s can l� e.” Corporal, Girls’ Civic League (1); Special Chorus (2). Not too tall, not too short, but iust about right. That is Lucy for you. Per¬ haps a wee bit quiet but who likes these noisy people anyway? The name Lucy always seems to suggest someone sweet, so when you read this article just be¬ lieve in suggestion. iimjiimmmn 41 mrnmmiim wiwhui Page Seventy-seven K XOK iOK -3 PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 K William Schattel “Bill “What is more rare than a good dispo¬ sition?” First Orchestra (1-2); Special Chorus (1); Varsity Baseball Squad (2-3-4); Varsity Swimming Team (3); Junior Class Bas¬ ketball Team (3). “Bill,” as he’s familiarly known to a host of brother inmates of this institu¬ tion. i another one of those sturdy young Hercules now about to be turned out of his B. C. H. S. mold. If you know him, you like him; if you don ' t know him you ought to—so just frame the above portrait anyway. Put “Bill” in your picture gallery as a cheerful, re¬ liable. student, a good athlete—and just naturally a mighty fine fellow. Helen Schwartz “So sweet si face, xncli angel grace.” Special Chorus (1-2); Vigilance Commit¬ tee (1); Glee Club (1); Nature Study Club (1); Dorn Econ (3-4). Helen has been described as “a quiet, sweet, good-looking girl.” She’s all of that. Everyone likes her. Harry H. Samuels “Brevity ix the xoul of wit.” “Mr. Samuels, you may move back there where there isn’t anyone to talk to.” How often we have heard those words. But Harry is always good- natured whether he sits in the back of the room or the front of it, it doesn’t seem to make any difference. We hope he will always remain just as happy-go- luckv as he is now, and just as good a friend. Frances Spencer “I live in deeds, uot years.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Freshman Bas¬ ketball Team, Girls Track Team (1); Girls’ Varsity Basketball Team (2-3-4); Letter (4); Friday Club (3-4); Coach of Sophomore Class Basketball Tea ' m (3); Cheer Leader (4); Special Award Sweater (4). Frances fairly takes our breath away in her flight down the basketball court. She’s jolly at all times, a real athlete and a true friend.

She finds school a rather worth-while nd while she isn’t a drudge, find time to do her lessons has been an active member ous orchestra for ever so long you’ll find her a peck of fun, who, where or what you are. Frederick Shaw ' Fred “A whiz with the banjo.” Honor Student (4); Health Commissioner, Boys’ Week (4). Fred has planked his merry way through high school with spirit debo¬ nair. On the scholastic side of the books, Fred has a no less imposing record. Those who haven’t known him may con¬ sider that they have missed a great treat, while those who count themselves his friends may thank their stars. Evelyn Smith ‘ Smitie’ “All are architects of fate Working in these walls of time. Special Chorus (1-2); Literary Club (2- 3-4); Interclass Tennis Squad (2-3); In¬ terclass Hockey Team (4); Interclass Basketball Team (4). „ Evelyn is a good sport and a loyal supporter of all Interclass teams, includ¬ ing hockey, tennis, and basketball among her accomplishments. The Johnson City students will certainly miss Evelyn-and her car. Milan Shirhall ••He’s pleasant, well-liked, and thorough¬ ly active.” Freshman Basketball (1); Varsity Base¬ ball (1-2-3-4); Special Chorus (1); Var¬ sity Basketball (2-3). A fellow certainly exhibits a spirit of perseverance to stick it out and play a hard game for part of the three seasons as a “sub” on the Varsity basketball team. It’s kinda tough to warm the bench on game night, after practicing long weeks, yet that’s what Milan did— and did it with a grin. He’s been a really good student, and a popular, cheer¬ ful friend,—and we wish him all the luck in the world and then some! nrnnmnm I Iililll3.ll 1 Mill Page Seventy-nine K bok PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 HOK. Richard Shafer (( Dick 99 “ hat :i Hum hits, so miicli In lio sure of.” Dick seem ' ? to be mathematically in¬ clined. At any rate, he haunts the re¬ gion of 105 and 106. But I guess he hasn ' t become so engrossed in this branch of learning that he is utterly r ' Mi ' - ' ous tr the lie-liter and gaver things of life. One wouldn’t think so at any rate. Helen Stanton “The noblest mi nil the best contentment lias. Special Chorus (1-2-3); Honor Student (4). He en is an excellent student and thereby a credit to our class. Her face i- nieisant to look upon for there is al¬ ways a smile there. She is very fair in appearance and happy in heart. Paul Spector “Take care anil say this vvitli presence of lniuil.” Junior Basketball (3). Paul takes his lessons seriously. Now don’t be alarmed, von won’t find him dull or anything. He’s not too serious. But it is our opinion that he does know what he ' s talking about and that most anyone would find what he says rather interesting. Charles Stevens “A fellow of mark anil likelihood.” C—co-operative. S—serious. I h s is Charles. One looks twice when Charles passes. His curly hair is al¬ ways “just so” and his blue eyes, ser¬ ious. lie has quietly spent his four years here and now is leaving us. We wish him the best of success in what¬ ever he may do. Page Eighty K PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 « XOK 3JOJC Terrance Saunders “Terry” “Art is Power—and I’m an artist.” Third Place, Annual American Legion Style Show Poster (2); Track Squad (3); Football Squad (3-4); Member Board of Education, Boys’ Week 1925 (3) ; Second Place, Binghamton Golf Poster (3); Junior Basketball Team (3); Second Place, “Phantom Drums” Poster (4) ; First Place, Eastern Star Ball Poster (4); Arts Award (4). Terry is a prince of good fellows— cheery, witty and true. He fairly rad¬ iates cheer and light-hearted buoyancy. As an artist, Terry swings a wicked brush, for his work along this line has been some of the best done here at school. Terry is also quite an athlete, being a track man and having played in the line during the football season. Herman Southworth “The mighty atom. Scholarship Insignia (1-2); Scholarship Gold Key (3); Scholarship (4); “Pan¬ orama” Reporter (2), Assistant Business Manager (3); Assistant Manager, Track (3), Manager, Letter (4); Boys’ Week, ’25, Business Manager “Morning Sun” (3); Business Manager “Panorama” (4); Senior Class Treasurer; Class Notable —Best Natured Boy (4); Assessor, Bovs’ Week, ’26, (4); Salutatorian— 95.751. Herman may be diminutive in size, but that small frame certainly does house two mighty active dynamos. First, there is Herman’s mental dynamo, the driving power that has enable him, as business manager, to make this “Pan” a business¬ like, paying proposition. The same men¬ tal dynamo hits “on all four,” to help him to keep grinding out absolutely such perfect papers in all Regents “math” exams. Then there is that second dynamo embodied in Herman, namely-— a personality that generates a certain pleasant smile and intangible charm. We all feel that South will be Worth real success. Elizabeth Tompkins “Silent Is as a wordless song.” Special Chorus (1); Friday Club (3-4); Chamber of Commerce (4); L. C. Smith Certificate for Typewriting (4); Under¬ wood Certificate for Typewriting (4). Elizabeth is a quiet girl. She never says very much but when she does say something she means it. She’s a real friend and anyone who knows her well appreciates her more than words can say. Warren Taylor “He knows music—but that ' s not all.” Radio Club (2); Orchestra (2-3-4); Base¬ ball (3), Manager (4); Football (3-4); Glee Club (4); Special Chorus (4); Congress (4). There was once a boy named Warren. Wherever one saw Warren one also saw a cello—or at least imagined so, purely from force of habit. In the school War¬ ren attended, there was an orchestra, and the lower tones of this orchestra would have been sadly lacking but for Warren and his cello. And yet, although Warren and the cello were never far apart, he didn’t always play upon it be¬ cause a practical side of his nature de¬ manded oftentimes that he invent strange devices and be an all around good fel¬ low. Moral—if you are musically in¬ clined, remember that temperament needs common sense to make a jolly combination. Page Eighty-one 6 K XOK you _x PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 Warren Tremaine “Shrimp” “Yes we sire Collegiate.” Band (3-4). We don’t know whether Warren has ever studied Latin or not, but we’re sure he’s a model of the first declension any¬ way. His clever wit and originality make him a favorite among his class¬ mates, while his collegiate cut and step are the admiration of all the girls. We hope he may never lose either. Stanley Thomas “Stan” “I never ilsire to tsilk sis witty sis I can.” Band (1-2-3-4); Orchestra (1-2-3-4); Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Freshman Football (1); State Band Contest (2-3-4); Glee Club (4); Gold Key (4). In Stan we recognize another musician who has been active in every musical line in school. It’s going to be difficult to imagine the band or orchestra without him and his “sax”. For four years now, his witty chatter has f kept us in the best of spirits, and his optimism has helped to brighten many an otherwise melan¬ choly moment. Reginald Thomas “The man ' s the gowd for a that.” Hallstead High School (1-2-3); Literary Club (1-2-3), Secretary (1), President (3); Varsity Debating Team (3); Fi¬ nancial Secretary, Basketball Team (3); Scholarship, Highest Average (1-2-3). We haven’t had as much chance to get acquainted with Reginald as we would like. You see, he came here from Hallstead only last fall to finish out his high school course, specializing in Math. We admire his hard work and perseverance in learning our way of do¬ ing things. Charles Villency “ Charlie” “For literary fields lie ' s hound.” Four Minute Speaker, Boys’ Week (3); Publicity Committee, “Expressing Wil¬ lie” (4), “Macbeth” 4A English Play (4); Dramatics Class One-act Play, “The Finger of God” (4); Publicity Commit¬ tee, “A Woman’s Way” (4); Congress Club (4); Publicity Committee, “You and I” (4). Won’t we all be proud when, in, oh say about ten years we shall see on the cover of one of America’s largest maga¬ zines the words—Charles Villency, Editor —for we can stand a little straighter then and say—“We graduated in the same class with Charles.” It is one of the thrills ahead, and from what we know of Charles and his tastes the chances are decidedly that we shall not be disap¬ pointed. He has surely directed his footsteps toward this goal and this boy is not one to turn back.

Fortunate is Alice who always seems to have a good time. Moreover, if you are with her you’re sure to havfe a good time, too. Lastly, look at her report card—that failing, at the honor roll. You will find that she can mix work and play very effectively. Alice Van Wormer “A quiet, unassuming lass.

Ruth Van Order “Her air, her manner all who saw ad¬ mired. Courteous though eoy, and gentle though retired.” Chamber of CommercB« (2-3-4); Friday Club (4). Here is absolute proof that a commer¬ cial course does not spoil a girl for the less serious things of life. Ruth is a sweet, quiet, lovable girl. She has at¬ tacked her commercial course, as she does everything else, —with enthusiasm. She is now spehdirig her afternoons with the Anderson Press, and coming to school in the morning. Such persever¬ ance will surely ' be rewarded by suc¬ cess, we are sure. ’ won s. . VI ' X ■ -• Ruth Vinkelstein “Facts are stubborn tilings,—hut not to Ruth.” Chamber of Commerce (4); Typewriting Certificate for Speed on Underwood Machine (4); Honor Student (4). Anyone who has ever experienced the trials of school teaching knows what a joy it is to know that there is someone in the class wiio will always answer when all sources fail. Ruth is such a someone. How often we have seen a weary teacher, in despair, turn to her and find what she long has sought—a real answer. May she have equal suc¬ cess in answering the posers which meet her henceforth! Page Eighty-three K XOJC=X PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 Reba Walker “Beckey” “Perpetual pushing and assurance put n difficulty out of countenance and make a seeming Impossibility Rive way.” Special Chorus (1); Literary Club (2-3-4); Scholarship Insignia, 2 years (4); Honor Student (4). It seems as if Reba has been trying hard for four years to make herself just the opposite of conspicuous, but this is one thing in which she was bound to fail. Her wonderful classroom standings proclaim her “failure.” She is a real R. C. H. S. booster and has won many friends. We are sure that she will suc¬ ceed at whatever she may attempt in the future. Hamilton Watkins “ Hammy ” “De liani what am.” Hammy is a good-natured, hard-work¬ ing fellow. I don’t believe anyone ever really got his goat. And if he gets yours, he never can keep it very long; it just naturally comes home. Incidentally, they say he takes to chemistry, where he specializes in laughing gas. Robert R. Warner “ Bob ” “His heart and hand both open and both free.” Class Notable—-Baby. A smile that’s broad, A heart that’s glad— Who has not heard O’ this smart lad? His cheery words And the deeds he did:— And now, “Good-bye And good luck, old kid!” Francis Wheeler “ Fran ” “There are very few persons who pursue science with true dignity.” Manager of Freshman Track (1); Con¬ gress (1-2-3-4); Cross Country (3); Class Notable—Most Bashful Boy. “Fran” is one of the few. He was al¬ ways a shark in Physics. We are told that he has an analytical mind and we believe it for he never makes much noise. He intends to continue his scientific study at some tech” school in the fall. Vi£ 1 f •„ hr . H .v A §S§ w If i L ...

We all agree that while “The Other One was Booth.” Ed is the One, for he is famous around these parts for playing the old gentleman remarkably well, and for being deeply Involved in the matters of “Truth” or rather prevarication. Soon he will be going to a New York Dra¬ matics school. Well, Ed, you can find us in the front row on your “First nights.” Margaret Weeks “Peg” “Some novel power sprang up forever at her touch.” Literary Club (1); Class Notable—Pret¬ tiest Girl (4); Honor Student (4). Peg is clever and original. She al¬ ways seems to know just what to do and say at the right time. Because of this unique quality all Peg’s friends think that she ' s just about right. Can you blame them? Margaret Webster “Marly” “Good temper 1 m the secret of true happi¬ ness.” Literary Club (1-2-3). This quotation certainly applies to “Marly.” She is always happy and care¬ free and the chief reason is her unusual disposition. Charles Winters “Charlie” “Thy modesty ' s a candle to thy worth.” Glee Club (2-3-4); Orchestra (2-3-4); String Quartet (2-3); Baseball (3-4); Special Chorus (3). And it’s not the only candle, either. Charlie’s leadership on the baseball field and especially in the orchestra and string quartet likewise goes to show the bril¬ liant part he has had in school life. We’re sure that he is one fellow who will always keep the name of B. C. H. S. properly lighted up. Page Eighty-five K VO X X PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 w —v a h Doris Watson “Honor lies in honest toil.” Friday Club (3-4); Special Chorus (3); Honor Student (4). It’s a pleasure to talk with her, be¬ cause she’s a good listener. It’s fun to play with her, for she’s a good sport. It’s great to work with her, because she does her part. And it’s a joy to look at her, for she is so pleasant. Therefore, it is natural to conclude that Doris is-— no other word can describe her—a peach, all of which is quite true! Adelaide Wray “A sweet attractive kinil of grace.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4); Corporal, Girls’ Vigilance Committee (1); Basketball (3- 4); Dom Econ (4); Hockey, Baseball (4). Adelaide is a peach when you become really acquainted with her. A good sport in every way. She is greatly loved by her friends. Perhaps she is rather quiet, but that is merely because she is unassum¬ ing and thoughtful. Evelyn Watson “Let ' s smile what smiles we can today.” Special Chorus (1); Dom Econ (2-3); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Honor Student (4). And while the above motto fits Evelyn well, don’t labor under the delusion that she might be an easy-going, careless young person. She isn’t. She’s the es¬ sence of energy, she’s the best of sports, and she’s far above the ordinary in char¬ acter and scholastic standing. Besides, she’s good-looking—one of the black¬ haired, blue-eyed type . Mildred Wood “For she’s mighty lak’ a rose.” Girls’ Glee Club (1-2-3-4); Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Interclass Tennis (3-4); Bas¬ ketball (3); Chamber of Commerce (4); Literary Club (4); Interclass Hockey (4). nere s , - - S11 ,snt error in the above statement for Mildred, with her spark- nng- black eyes is rather more closely L? lat , ed to the black-eyed Susan family She has taken four years of Latin and stiii manages to be continually pleasant and thoroughly cheerful—quite a feat.

We wonder who the lucky business man will be who will have Margaret in his office, because, you see, she is going out to conquer the business world. And say, when Margaret starts out to do anything you may depend on her to do it. She is steadfast, tried, and true. Naomi L. White “Slie .smiles with her eyes.” Chamber of Commerce (3-4), Vice-Presi¬ dent (4). We always notice people who smile prettily, but have you ever watched Naomi? You can just see her face pucker into a good-natured smile which radiates. As Mr. Rodeheaver said, “Turn the corners of your mouth up.” Well, Naomi does that. Betty Young “Never was there such a one.” Literary Club, Assistant Secretary (1), Sergeant-at-Arms (2), Vice-President (4); Freshman Basketball (1); Captain Sophomore Swimming Team (2); Var¬ sity Basketball Squad (3-4); Special Awards Committee (4); Art Editor of “Panorama” (4); Class Notable—Artist; Sergeant-at-Arms Graduating Class (4). Betty has the rare combination—a wonderful personality and an artistic nature. There are few who have not seen or at least heard of Betty’s skill with the pencil and many of us, who have had the pleasure of knowing her inti¬ mately, consider ourselves fortunate. She will transfer her ability to Skidmore next year. Edna Youngs “The way to have a friend Is to be one.” Special Chorus (3). Edna surely ought to have many friends, for she’s always ready to help. She’s a quiet, hard-worker, and every¬ one who knows her likes her. She’s going to Cortland Normal n ext year, and we expect to hear in a few years of a fine, new teacher for the lower grades.

You have all seen that tall, dark-haired fellow, with the glasses (a fine descrip¬ tion—eh wot?), a youth who talks fast— but that’s because he really has such a lot of interesting things to say. Earl fulfills that description, with his sin¬ cere, friendly manner and ready greet¬ ing. Ladi—es and Gentlemen—: This toast is to Earl Yates,—so just drink down your glass of water to a persever¬ ing, likeable student. Donald R. Young “Don” ‘‘He came, lie ‘saw’, he conquered.” Orchestra (1-2-3); Congress (2-3-4); Hi-Y (2-3-4); Radio Club (2). Some question the possibility of being both glad and sorry at the same time. We have found out it is possible, be¬ cause we’re glad and sorry Don is leav¬ ing us—glad for him, and sorry for us. He is the musical young man who has the power to make our unwilling feet move willingly and at a lively speed. His musical saw is the source of his magic power. You who haven’t heard him, better hurry! (da D. Zall “If flic end be well, all is well.” Glee Club (1); Special Chorus (1-2-4); Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4). Ida Zall means good worker; good sport; cheerful companion; an asset to B. C. H. S. Synonyms: Many other nice girls in our High School. Antonyms: Grouchiness; back-sliding; shirking; unfaithfulness. Jeanette Zeilbeer “Where she is, there would I be.” Basketball Team (1-2); Volleyball Team (1); iMasten Park High School (1-2); Varsity Swimming Letter (3); Varsity Basketball Letter (4); Hockey (4). Do you know Jeanette? If not you’re unlucky. Of course, she plays on the girls varsity basketball team, and all, but that’s not the important thing. The important thing about Jeanette is just Jeanette. If you know her, you prob¬ ably say “she is a good sport.” And you mean a lot more. Page Eighty-eight K X PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 XOK X aOKI Ida L.

Cssap “There is a Valley called the Valley of Illusion, but beyond it, suncrowned, is the Peak of Eternal Truth. The Way from the Valley to the Peak is rough, for the Way is the Understanding of Things Real, and its Achievement is the Fullness of Life.” The Fullness of Life, is the goal toward which we strive. All the past four years and for eight years previous to that, we have labored stren¬ uously toward that Understanding, the achievement of which means to us a firmer purpose and a truer aim to conquer those things which will fulfill our desires. At times it may have seemed that we saw only a part of the road, and refused to believe that such could end at that sheer divisional cliff. But as with that path, so with us, the farther it ran the more clearly defined it became and then it was plain to see that it did not end at a cliff, but first dipped into the Valley and then ascended the steep slope to the very pinnacle of the mountain. It was not easy. It was stony and hard, worn almost to solid rock by the millions of travelers who had passed over it. There were footprints outside the beaten path made there by those who found it too difficult to follow where the others led. But for those who stuck to the path steadfastly and determinedly all the way to the top of the mountain,— theirs was the Understanding. Theirs was the greater glory. Not many years ago there was an humble Dutch boy who landed as an immigrant in our country. He had no relatives established here into whose sheltering arms he might escape for protection. His father and mother who accompanied him, had not even wealth that would give him prestige or distinction in a foreign land. With all the fortitude and perseverance he could summon, he set about acquiring for himself the friendly esteem and recognition that is the paramount milestone in any life. It took work to acquire that which would give him a right to serve others. He did not spend eight, twelve, or even sixteen years in our American school, poverty forbade that. But he did spend every year of his life in acquiring a knowledge with which he might better serve those less fortunate than himself. And so Edward Bok devel- Page Ninety-six PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 XOK IXOJC oped into one of tlie most ideal Americans and launched into a life of self-sacrificing service. There is a crisis in the events of another man’s life, which brought about a reverse of conditions and whose wide spread effect is of inesti¬ mable value. It was during the Boxer Rebellion in China that a young Chinese soldier happened to see an American mission school attacked by a mob. As the enraged mob approached the school, a young girl ran out and pled with the Boxers to save the school and those inside it. The girl wa s murdered, but the ready and touching sacrifice was not lost on this single soldier. His interest already awakened was magni¬ fied to a reality. Today, General Feng, China’s Christian General, is a world character. A leader in China’s disordered internal bedlam, Feng stands out as one of the most magnanimous figures in the world. True he has retained many of his peculiar racial characteristics, hut this new Christian has turned a heathen army into a campaigning, hymn-singing force of the fiercest fighting soldiers in Asia. Feng was a simple heathen, but seeing that sacrifice, he kept it to himself and pondered, until having turned it over and over in his mind he gained little by little that sympathy and understanding of things fine and real. In other words, he climbed the rugged path that leads to the Full¬ ness of Life. Being human, we profit by example. In the face of difficulties we follow precedent. So far our way has been comparatively smooth, guides have been numerous, but now it grows rougher and example is our only guide. As we look ahead we see discouraging obstacles and, to make it harder, there enter within our range serious detractions which beckon us from the path. But to stop here, to cease our efforts or to lose our interest is to make our journey fruitless. Our school has meant much to us, to some more than to others, but each must de¬ clare himself, strengthen his grip and “Only go Forward.” To what? . Why, to the Fullness of Life. —Howard Parker.

To those 270 fans who have listened to the entire program, even though it was trying at times and hampered by much static, this official program is dedicated. The program was divided into four divisions with a short rest between each. Each division was a different station linked up with Station B. C. H. S. The program was as follows: I.

By this time the crowd had become so well acquainted- that they decided to organize. As a result of the election, Robert Gillson was elected President; Harriet Forrester, Vice-President; Alton Ball, Secretary; and Hugh Lott, Treasurer. Toward the end of the pro¬ gram, dance music was furnished and the lads and lasses lost no time in stepping to the tunes, thus making a most successful class dance. The program had become so interesting that few turned from Station B. C. H. S. to Station W. 0. R. L. D. Nevertheless all were happy when J. U. N. signed off and Announcer N. V.

As this was the last number on the program, the “bunch” again organized, electing Robert Gillson, President; Harriet Forrester, Vice-President; Seward French, Secre¬ tary; Herman Southworth, Treasurer; and Mary Alma Multer, Assist¬ ant Treasurer. About 271 had listened to the entire program. We cer¬ tainly missed those who tuned in on Station W. 0. R. L. D. We are certain that their entertainment was not nearly as interesting and the static much more noticeable than ours. Now that B. C. H. S. is off the air, we will find other stations easier to receive. Sixty-four of the fans were called the Honor Group because of their accuracy in tuning in. But now this is all history. All have tuned in on Station C. 0. L. L. E. G. E. or Station W. 0. R. L. D. The “bunch” will probably never listen in together again, but the memory of the wonderful program fur¬ nished by Station B. C. H. S. will remain forever. For us it is “Perge Modo.” -—Robert F. Alden.

Page One Hundred k=AOK=A PANORAMA ANNUAL i 9 2 6 - XOK= i Class; (Bratton “No man has ever become a perfect gentleman because as his mind has developed, his conception of what a perfect gentleman is, has en¬ larged. And as surely as this, the world always offers one more star for astronomers, one more dimension for mathematicians, one more unknown for everyone. As often as comes that assured feeling of self- importance and self-knowledge, so comes the ever-responsive convic¬ tion that personal knowledge must be forever limited by personal re¬ action to the extent of experience. ’ ’ Creeping in as softly as the calm burning of tall wax candles in a great church, there comes regret that mentality is eternally ringed by a wall of flame. This, then is the cycle. There is first, hope of achieve¬ ment, hope mounting high above hills, mounting over previous self- made destinies. From hope and of it there is ambition. There is a widening of the great glass of vision and judgment of the world. Then there is the realization of something to be desired. Preparation for it and accomplishment of it go on and finish. Brief enjoyment obtains. Here ends the cycle. As Shaw’s Caesar says, “fresh, strong, and hoping in the morning, fighting in the day and revelling in the evening.” So whirls on the mighty gyroscope drumming softly, balancing steadily, traveling along the twin grooves of life, matching vision to success. The high taut shrillness of the note of success beats out from the now un¬ steady wheel running wildly on. A stream of silver seems to bend upon the great globe slowly then comes the usual pace, the beating note grows monotonous. Thunderously loud pours out the dullness of the note of failure; a mass of lead boils forth and the wheels beat mon¬ otonously again. But the great seal of the wheel is hope. So follows the field of morality. No longer does the verity of salvation rest on a formula. Man’s religion causes him to respond to the stimulus of his sum total of experience and the reasons therefor. One example is that of the person who gives little to charity and gives more when he can afford it. But looking higher there remains the ob¬ ligation to meet success with more success, the obligation to see a wider Page One Hundred One K XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 K==ZXOK vision of the essentials. As a broader conception of one principle is realized from one’s own experience, so must there be a realization of a view of other things, not only tolerant but sympathetically kind. These in turn must be realized by someone else. All this has been the exposition of a new spirit. “World Spirit,” H. L. Mencken calls it, and it seems fitting. Always there has been the increase of knowledge for if man is not reincarnated, certainly the spirit of knowledge is. Genius as it appears is only fitting to immediate use, but development is ultra-temporal. As this knowledge spread, here and there sprang up people who thought not only world spiritedly in place but in world epochs, world intellect. Christ, apart from His Divinity was one of these. Confucius of another age was another; human beings can never be eternal. As they grow wiser and older the futility of life comes to some; the belief in the future to others and the happiness in completion to others. But world spirit does not mean that the world must accept one’s own peculiar idea of it, but that one must comprehend to the degree of possible humanness an acceptance of the world’s idea of him and his fellow men. But this acceptance must not mean release from ambition. Accept¬ ance must not wrap one in tbe “soft cotton wool of contentment.” In the sky must still flame the one more star for astronomers, in practi¬ cality one more dimension for mathematicians, one more unknown for everyone. Knowledge must still lead on. “From compromise and things half-done Keep one with stern and stubborn pride And when at last the fight is won God, keep me still unsatisfied.” —Seward French.

Page One Hundred Two ”0K h PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 kz=zxox=x Claste roptjecp Jack Casey Twenty great cycles of splendid years have spun on their eternal way,—two decades have passed. Down a long dusty road I came, the only living enemy of Colgate’s Rapid Shaving Cream, the hereditary enemy of Gillette’s Safety Razor,—one of the nobility—that is, Knights of the Road—in other words just a wandering hobo. On my left (was my left arm)—I saw the twin rails of gleaming steel, the Canadian Government. Railway for the scene of this prophecy starts near Alberta, Canada. Just then a slow freight was pounding its weary way northward, so I ran along side and took my accustomed place on the roof of side- door Pullman number 7734. The railway systems have been greatly augmented in the twenty years since our B. C. H. S. days, and the train, gaining speed, thundered its way ever northward through the frozen valleys of the Yukon, on—’till the utmost point of the North American continent was reached. There I dismounted and continued my wander¬ ing way toward the great continent in the Arctic discovered in 1936 by explorer Vernon Rice and duly named Nineteentwentysixia, a land in¬ habited by the B. C. H. S. graduates of that date; a land where people never grow old because they all drink at a mystical Fountain of Youth where Patrick Carbone, Waldemar Boldt, Stephen Foltin, and John Sealoni are employed as pumpers. You see, I’d read all about it, and knew where I was going. Now listen ye to my tale! The city of Nineteentwentysixia is surrounded by a high wall, with a lofty observatory tower at the main entrance in which City Astron¬ omer Herman Southworth was apparently figuring what the price of peanuts was in the moon. He was assisted by a competent staff of eight other astronomers whom I recognized as Richard Chase, Paul Spector, Raymond Cronin, Alice Van Wormer, Victoria Romans, Marion McAvoy, Mansfield Connelly and Charles Cohen. The city was heavily guarded, with a cap pistol squad comprised of John Moore, Jean Newman, and Earl Hagman constantly patrolling the wall. The night patrol, I was informed, armed with croquet mallets, consisted of Ronald Baker and Myfanwy King. Page One Hundred Three K XOK aox=x PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 I entered the city through two massive gates electrically controlled from a central traffic tower in which the inventors, Norman Haight and Willard Haskins, were seated playing solitaire in connection with two electricians, Thomas Herney and Ernest Kocak by name. As was often the custom in the towns I visited, my wanderings within the gates had not progressed far when the Cheese (I mean Chief) of Police, Hamilton Watkins, accompanied by detectives Frank Phelps, Charles Villency, and Stanley King, drove up in a rather dilapidated patrol wagon and thinking me a suspicious character, assumed the honor of leading me to the city jail. Since the patrol was a wind-driven vehicle our progress was noticeably slow and we had ample time to survey the town and its industries. My attention was first attracted to a series of billboards on the outskirts of the town. On one flaming poster, the advent of the famous actor, Edwin Whitner, starring in “Sadie Windemere’s Pan,” written by the playwrights Warren Tremaine and Hazen Brooks, was advertised. The next poster boasted the merits of the delicatessen shop run by Kirk Heckman, the famous olive grower. Our progress, for the moment, was impeded by some rather rough road which a sign informed us was under repair by the Barber, Puglise and Campbell Construction Company. Bricks for the new road were to come from brick kilns of the Crandall, Haddad and Church Corporation. Commissioner of Public Works Edward McGinnis with his assistants, Edward Mason, John Breivis, and Louis Gold, were inspecting the work as we ambled past. On my right, a pastoral scene attracted my attention, for just at that moment the 5 o’clock whistle blew; the hard¬ working farmer dropped the pitchfork upon which he had been leaning, and started home, bringing to my mind the immortal words: “The lowing herd winds slowly o’er the lea, And plowman Reuben Brower homeward plods his dreary way— in his Pierce Arrow Limousine ‘ The chauffeur was Thomas Gilmore. As we slowly entered the city proper, factories adorned with familiar names began to come to my notice. A new factory site with a gigantic brick building in the process of construction was billed as the future home of the Consolidated Cocoanut Corporation with Ira Hulbert as president, and Paul Deabler, Harold Hawks and Milton Conrad as vice- presidents. The mammoth billboard further announced Iris Kail, Alice Hatfield, Ruth Finney, Reginald Simonson, and Charles Winters on the Board of Directors. Chief of Police Watkins vouchsafed the in¬ formation that Wilson Dayger and Graef Santmier were the architects. Suddenly, we hit a large dent in the road, which had been the landing place of the famous balloonists, Amory Sherman and Fred Brunner, when their balloon had recently refused to balloon. The patrol sud¬ denly gained speed, (we were going down hill), and we wheezed past the palatial country residences of Howard Parker, former Soap manufac¬ turer, of John Skrovanek, retired inventor of corrugated button holes, on past the large home of Royal Sleeper, the big salt and pepper mag¬ nate. I later learned that these homes had been designed from plans Page One Hundred Four . x ok=x PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 k - M OK= i submitted by Terrance Saunders. As we were proceeding down the main thoroughfare, a siren sounded and four fire engines driven by James O’Connor, Harold Cooper, Samuel Feldman, and Clifton Her¬ rick flashed past. Ralph Kuczycke and Roger Hayes came tearing after the engines, dragging a hose cart, as the two remaining members of the Volunteer Fireman’s League who were not confined in bed by rheumatism suffered as the result of exposure at the fire of the previous week when the matchbox factory of Kenneth Johnson and Reece Hum¬ ph rey had burned to the ground. Next the Ladies’ Auxiliary Fire- ladies’ Truck passed us, containing Philomena Stabile, Evelyn Watson, Edna Youngs and Elizabeth Doyle. We were now in the heart of the city, surrounded on all sides by towering skyscrapers, lofty buildings housing numerous offices, with department stores occupying the ground floors. Looking out of the patrol wagon, I recognized familiar names engraved on the expansive plate glass windows: “Feinstein, Foody and Forrester,” “Davey’s Millinery Shoppe,” “Shaw and Schattel’s Oyster Emporium.” In the center of the public square was a statue consisting of a polar bear triumphant upon a field azure,— the town coat of arms, the work of the noted sculptors Robert Alden and Richard Kent. The marble pedestal upon which said bear rested was of peculiar red marble, easily recognizable as coming from the quarries of the Altmann, Gahagan and Victor George Marble Company. I was informed that that block of marble weighed two tons, but had been easily moved into place with the assistance of Harry Samuels, now traveling with Barney and Bailey’s Circus as a professional Her¬ cules. The patrol was stopped for a moment, blocking all traffic, by Clarence Heagy and Edward Humphrey, famous tailors, who insisted on measuring Chief Watkins for a new Tuxedo and selling his star de¬ tectives some fine silk hats. Incidentally, at the same time I learned that the entire city was preparing for the annual Christmas Ball to be held in ten days in honor of the victorious army of Nineteentwentysixia led by Generals Burdett Crounse, Richard Coolbaugh, and Alton Ball, which had recently defeated the Cliquot Club Eskimos in a pitched gingerale battle. Mayor Robert Gillson and Corporation Counsel Seward French were in charge of the affair. Dance music was to be furnished by two noted dance bands, Fowler’s Howlers, and Don Grey’s Greyhounds. On the dance committee I heard that the female sex was in majority with Henriette Liboz, Reba Walker, Mina Jones, Marie Havko, Berdelia Keesler, Laura Joyce and Marion Darrow among those included. My journey continued, we passed the zoo, and T recognized Curator Robert Warner standing on the front steps fondling a boa constrictor, with Keepers James Cusick, Edward Haley, Willard Hogeboom, Bessie Katz, Dorothy Hayes and Martha Demchak standing at a safe distance away. A sight-seeing bus passed us with Conductor Frank Conole col¬ lecting the fares assisted by Willard Cook, who was employed to throw away the plugged nickels. The teachers convention was utilizing the Page One Hundred Five DiOiC PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 = 3JOIC Di buses, and among the sight-seers I saw Sarah Kata, Marion Hammond, Delores Barnard, Mary E. Clark, Esther Lawrence, Marguerite Cort- right, and Margaret Washburn. The sides of the bus had been artisti¬ cally painted by City Artist Betty Young. The bus was also splendidly equipped with flat tires furnished by the Baird, Ballard, Bird and Blodgett Rubber Company. We rolled along,—it was growing near dusk and as we passed a large factory I recognized streams of my former classmates pouring forth. Samuel Shurtleff, Melvin Johnson, Ronald Jenkins, Raymond Matteson, Martha Dyer, Marion Donahue, Carmelita Adams, and Bessie Cook wore faces familiar to me. Then the patrol turned abruptly to the left and took up its path past the Hospital for the Relief of Frozen Eskimos, in which Emmet Stickle is Head Physician, aided by Charles Stevens as Head Carver and Reginald Thomas as Chief Sewer. In¬ ternes at this famous hospital number: Dwight Santmier, Nicholas Kli¬ ment, Clark Metzgar, Carroll Lynch, and Harold MacKnight. Ruth Ballard was Head Nurse, while other nurses were Nina Folmsbee, Jane Formanek, Cora Bell, Elizabeth Flannigan and Elizabeth Adams. During the lengthy drive at the expense of the city, the Chief turned around, and somewhat to my surprise, presented me with a newspaper to read to relieve the monotony of the ride. The paper was called 4 ‘The Northern Times,” and I read many articles in it written by familiar people. Wilhelmina Sebesta, noted critic, had just written a book re¬ view of the latest novel. The leading editorial had been written by Editor Dayton Ross. Some of the members of the efficient staff were: John Monkievicz, Francis Minehan, Wilbur Pease, Helen Kelly, Kath¬ erine Smith, and Mary Hinckley. Lydian Halliday and Sarah Raymond conducted the social column. Several of the pictures in the paper bore the signature of the “International Newsphoto Service,” conduct¬ ed by a quartet of former ’26 graduates—Catherine Franey, Mary Baxter, Barbara Bliss, and Harriet Forrester. I was told that the complete morning edition of the paper could be printed in twenty min¬ utes on the huge new presses invented by Herbert Knapp, Francis Le- Baron, Donald Young and James Gitlitz. Just then we passed the mammoth building housing the Deuel, Ber- dine and Brodie Insurance Company and the firm of Birney, Busino, Myra King and Berray, Auditors. The building had transparent sides and many faces were recognizable on the office staff of the two afore¬ mentioned businesses. Hazel Green, Katherine Gee, Lois Barrett, Helen Corcoran, Ina Butterfield, Glendola Bixby, and Martha Atwater were employed as stenographers for the first company. I saw Helen Schwartz, Adelaire Wray, Ida 1). Zall, Katherine Linahan, Eliza Milks, and Elna Roloson industriously typing in the office of the auditing firm. A short distance down the street was another structure housing the Sheldon, White, Wood, Millard, and John Knapp Real Estate Corpora¬ tion. 1 his group had for sale some fine land only one hundred miles out in the wilderness and therefore easily connected with the city by Page One Hundred Six . K iOK xok x PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 the Lucy Smith, Colburn, Coon and Dix Aeroplane Taxi Service. The pilots for this taxi service were likewise girls, namely, Kathryn Beall, Elizabeth Fowler, Marjorie Lakin, Dorothea Payne, Grace Nu¬ gent, and Doris Watson. The planes were all electrically guided by wireless waves from a central control station operated by Engineers Elizabeth Tompkins, Helen Berman, Emma Balcom, and Gertrude An¬ drews. The collapsible hangars in which the machines were put to bed during the night had been specially constructed by the building firm of Quain, Reed, Stanley Thomas, Seeley, and Charles Morgan. We toured on. Balmy zephyrs blew us right under the Arch of Triumph, erected by the city in honor of its three citizens who died from over-eating in the War of 1936. Directly past the Remmell Hotel ambled our conveyance. Amelia Schmidt, Dora Sleeper, Olive Cole, Francis Wheeler, Robert Moses, and Harold Jones were also stock¬ holders in the hotel enterprise. One novel feature was the utter absence of doors on the hotel. The guests merely jumped into a chute in the floor of their room and were deposited with due ceremony in the cellar. This idea was patented by Hugh Lott, bringing protests from the CTnited Door Hinge Corporation conducted by Sarah Shapiro, Helen Stanton, Laura Bigler, Margaret Boilman, and Margaret Webster. Our progress was halted momentarily by a gigantic parade. This parade consisted entirely of women and was a monstrous political dem¬ onstration by the Suffragettes in favor of taking the voting power away from the men. In the ranks passed Helen Sherman, Jeanette Zeilbeer, Mary Alma Multer, Barbara Mulford, Anna Lape, Ruth Van Order, Ida L. Zall, Doris Holcomb and Frances Spencer. Charles Isaacson had been forcibly requisitioned from the numbers of the men, to carry a monster flag at the head of the parade. Looking around at the various buildings I saw the new theatre recently opened by the Griffis, Bedell, Guild, Burley and Briggs Theater Corporation. The bill board dis¬ played in front of the building informed the world in general that the famous soprano, Winifred Keiser, would open next week with her ver¬ sion of “Carmen.” Another announcement called attention to the coming appearance of Doris Henderson, famed fancy skater. Among other features booked for an early appearance were the two violinists, Sarah Levene and Frieda Schradinsky and also the sole surviving mem¬ ber of the former ’26 Boys’ Quartet now engaged in professional work, Earl Yates. Next door to the theatre was a bookstore r un by Esther Newing and Evelyn Smith with Marion Knowlton as their foreign pur¬ chasing agent. In the window, a new text by the historians, Ruth Vink- lestein and Beatrice Lenrow was advertised, while the feature in the line of a novel was supplied by Frances Maynard and Permelia Lakin’s latest co-work. Further along the same street I saw the shop of Harned, Bryant, and Barnes, Interior Decorators. On my left a peculiar ap¬ pearing building done in the pagoda-like style of ancient Chinese archi¬ tecture attracted my attention, and upon waking up the driver of the car, Chief Watkins, I was informed that said building was a tea shoppe Page One Hundred Seven K HOK � PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 conducted by Kathryn Doyle. Plans for the novel structure had been drawn up by a leading architectural firm of Allen, Weeks and DeLaney, specializing in quaint, unusual designs. Plans for the decorations during the previously mentioned Christmas Ball and Celebration to take place ten days hence, had been entrusted to the firm of Edna Roydes and Catherine Miner, landscape gardeners and artists and already the streets were beginning to take on a festive appearance. Acting in an assistant capacity, I noticed, were Alice Van Winkle, Gertrude Miner, Marion Marshall, Elizabeth McGinnis, and Helen Lonergan. My journey was almost over. We were nearing the combined jail and courthouse, when passing along the water front I noticed the vessel of the Konecvy and Shirhall Steamship Company just weighing anchor on what purported to be an around the world trip. On the bridge of the boat I recognized Captain Harold Morgan, while among the tra v¬ elers were Helen Nelson, Catherine Prytherch, Winnifred Richardson, and Philippa Lomonaco. We reached our destination at last after two days and twelve min¬ utes of traveling and went into the august, severe-appearing courtroom of Municipal Sessions. Judges Shafer and Warren Taylor were a welcome sight as they sat upon their lofty seats. The court stenog¬ raphers were Agnes Kleitz and Ethel Levine. The herald and trum¬ peter was Rudolph Krna. The judges were very grave, and determined to let my fate hinge upon the answer to a single question—a single ques¬ tion—or a guest of the city for ten days, Judge Taylor said, with due deliberation, “If so, why not?” After thinking hard, I answered, “Therefore,” and was immediately congratulated by Judge Taylor. You know, it’s sometimes rather pleasant to refresh old acquaint¬ ances, old memories, so I just naturally stayed around Ninteentwenty- sixia for ten days until the night of the Christmas Ball. Then passing by the stately ballroom at a late hour, heading for the steppes of Siberia across the Arctic Sea, I heard the closing words of an old re¬ frain : “Oh, it’s always fair weather, When good fellows get together, ‘ TWENTY-SIX’,” It. still seems to re-echo, though fainter and fainter.

We trust that the legacies will be received in the spirit they are given, with no mercenary desire for material things but with a sincere regard for their spiritual value as memories of the most noteworthy class ever graduated from this, our Alma Mater. Knowing the character of our beneficiaries, we re¬ gret for their sakes that our greatest riches consist mainly in personal qualities which must live in and die with us and that, as a consequence, very little of real value will be left in this noble edifice after our demise. (Faculty excepted). Firstly—To everyone, Sophomores, Juniors and Freshmen,— we leave the peerless example of our class, with the admonition that only by following this example conscientiously in every detail can any re¬ semblance to perfection be attained. In addition, we exhort our suc¬ cessors not to be discouraged but to ever keep in mind the unsurpassable excellence of our class. Second—To Mr. Rushmer and Miss Carpenter we leave the present Junior class, trusting they will not be disappointed in the meanness of our gift. To Mr. Hummer we leave a new set of faces to gaze at him from the front rows of the auditorium. To the Junior class as a whole we bequeath all our private goods and chattels which shall be theirs for the duration of their natural life. These include 105, 305, 203, 106 and auditorium seats and Mr. Rushmer. To them we also leave our unalienable right to laugh at underclassmen, leave our lockers unlocked and do general studying in the library. May these treasures be cherished with due care and sentiment! By our will, the Sophomore class shall receive, through our execu¬ tor, Mr. Hummer, one fifteen-minute talk of encouragement, that they may understand and strive for the goal we have gained. 1 here is little we can leave to the Freshmen which would be of use to them now but at our request, our entire estate shall be held in trust Page One Hundred Ten UXOK XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 for them until such time as they shall gain sufficient age and wisdom to possess the estate and manage it properly. To Mr. Hartley we leave only desolation, desolation that we must take with us all his available talent. Thus do we bequeath our worldly goods and hereby appoint as ex¬ ecutor Mr. Hummer with all details of administration to be subject to his full control. IN WITNESS THEREOF and in the presence of witnesses thereof, on this, the twenty-second day of June in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred twenty-six, do we hereon inscribe our names,— we—the graduating class of 1926.

SCHOOL SECRETARIES Page One Hundred Eleven K XOK JlOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 K SUPPOSED ADVENTURE IN THE WOODS OF COMUS It chanced one day that, walking far afield Within the boundaries of a country strange, My luckless feet conveyed me from the path, And while the noonday sun still shone above I found myself within a foreign wood. Strange trees, of scaly bark and mammoth girth Entwined their snaky branches, high aloft, Permitting but a few slim bars of light To filter through. Within the semi-dark I wandered, ev’ry minute growing more And more appalled at ev’rything I saw: The trees a few feet off, assumed the weird Grotesque, and eerie forms that fancy but Could conjure up. Great toad-stools towered high Above my head like huge mis-shapened beasts. At length from utter fright and lassitude I threw me down and there I fell asleep. I woke and from the ever-present gloom I knew not whether it were night or day. But there before me stood the palace of Methought some prince of Tartarus, if such In Hades be. From all the windows came A bright diffusing light and shouts of joy And merriment. I struck my staff upon The brazen gate and forth there came, not slave, But prince himself! To whom I then addressed Myself, relating how I chanced to be Astray within this wold, and asking would He please direct me to the road I left. Meanwhile, since I was faint and fain would drink, I gazed with longing eyes upon the cup That rested in the fingers of the prince. “Come, drink,” he said, and stretched it forth; “within Are plenty such. Come feast and feed with me And with my many guests, and then I will Direct you on your way.” I yielded and With one deep draught I quaffed the tempting cup. A strange and not displeasing lightness filled My head anon. And, prince directing with His wand the way, I followed and arrived At length within a large and spacious hall, All decked with gay festoons and festive flow’rs. Without reluctance, strange to say, I joined The wild Bacchant’an orgy with the rest. We shouted, sang, and drank and lost all track Page One Hundred Twelve K XOK XOK x PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 = Of earthly time nor cared the least to know. Oft did I sleep and in my drunken dreams There ever passed the same unending train Before mine eyes; a king was I and rode Within a coach heaped high with golden coin. Around, a ragged throng of beggars pressed, And stood with outstretched hands beseeching alms. But ever with unheedful eye I passed Them b y, nor deigned to drop a single coin. Now once it came to pass that when the prince With all his rev’ling retinue behind, And I among, was wand’ring through the wood, 1 chanced to trail behind, and stopped to gaze At my reflection in a woodland pool, When lo! I stood deep-rooted to the spot For on my shoulders rested not my own And human head, but head of leering, fool, Hyena. Terrified I turned and plunged In headlong haste between the monstrous trees, Not gazing left or right. For hours I fled And yet there was no end of magic wood. I recollect not when I dropped and slept But this I know: that to my troubled sleep There came the selfsame torn and tattered crowd About my treasure-laden kingly coach. I gazed upon them and I saw their hands And feet were stained with dirt and clotted blood. Their faces, starved and pinched, were lifted up As though in pray’r. A solitary tear Rolled down my face; I stooped and plunged my arms Into the yellow mass around my feet, And threw the golden bounty left and right; When all was gone I longed for more to give. I awoke and lo! beside a crystal brook I stood, but though I peered intently in, No leering-wide hyena’s head was there. ! And stranger still, before me stretched the road I long had sought in vain. And then, my e’er i Ascending joy like Icarus did rise But not like luckless him to fall again. And to this day I know not if ’twas fact Or fancy that, befell me in the wood. —James Gitlitz.

Now our attention is turned toward the life of a Senior. How much better off are they than we? The burden of responsibility is on their shoulders weighing them down to humble¬ ness.

In the fall of 1925 the school was increased by 377 new pupils, who have proved throughout the year to be a most wide-awake class. In February, 1926, 243 boys and girls were enlisted to take the places of the former B Freshmen and the former B Freshmen jumped into the places of the former A Freshmen who now become Sophomores. The first report cards handed out in the fall of 1925 showed a goodly number of high honor students. This number has steadily increased until the Freshman honor roll has become noticeably large. The Fresh¬ men have so far held high the standards of B. C. H. S. The 1930 girls and boys have had their teams which have been and are supported enthusiastically. The upper class varsity teams have not lacked Freshman support. On Tag Day, a day set aside to raise money for track and baseball, nearly every Freshman wore a white square, thus voting for the con¬ tinuance of these sports. The so-called “greenies” of 1925-26 have served a splendid appren¬ ticeship and are well prepared to “carry on” through the next three 3 T ears.

At any rate, we have been fortunate in being able to hear some speakers who have given us the following precious gems: “You don’t get anywhere in this world unless yon persevere.” “ If you want to be a great business man or woman, you can be that if you follow these two things—to stand through, to press on to the finish.” “If you only reach the passing mark when you can do better work, you fail. ” “No business will live unless it has in it the elements of service.” Alfred 0. Booth, a National Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. “It doesn’t cost anything if you get the habit of appreciating the people you are thrown into contact with.” “The fellow who is a supporter and a booster is the only kind we want. ” “You must believe in yourself.” “We have, in a measure, found our place and we are filling it.” “Get the habit of thinking that the other fellow is a human being just like you.” Frank Jewell Raymond, Business Evangelist. “This competition of brain against brain, wits against wits, is the thing that is excellent for our work later in life.” “If you form the habit right here in school or in college of per¬ sistent plugging effort, you have laid the way to success, the base of vour later success.’ Edgar Couper. “This school is judged by the product it sends out.” “What is the greatest wealth of America? It’s the great American i :.eals of honesty, of fair-play, of brotherhood, of loyalty, of fidelity, of patiiotic sacrifice, and trust; those are the greatest wealths.” “It is the great men who make the history; the men who keep their trust.” Robert E. Speer. “He who masters one book has more mental power than he who superficially reads many books.” “The grandeur and sublimity of the character, Abraham Lincoln, towers like a mountain of human greatness.” “All great heroes have been God’s men.” Abraham Lincoln is great in his goodness, and good in his great- ness • , ’ Dr. Blaheslee. Page One Hundred Forty-two VC HOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 MOK “Our educational scheme is not only for the purpose of training the mind; it’s also to train the man.” Superintendent D. J. Kelly. “What’s the most important thing in this city! It isn’t the money, it isn’t the buildings, it isn’t the raw materials. It’s the human beings.” “The Binghamton of the future is going to be run by the boys and girls of the present.” Frank Jewell Raymond. “When we take ourselves seriously we’re hopeless; we are actually hopeless.” Mr. Frizell, of Philadelphia. “Everyone in this room is a trustee in the highest and greatest sense of trusteeship. Everyone of us is a trustee of a name.” “We are all trustees of a name, a name that we are bound to keep pure and clean, and add to as we pass it on.” “You are, and everybody else in America is, a trustee bound to hold true the trust of our own lives and the nation’s life and to guard in life and death those values that constitute the life of our nation.” Robert E. Speer. “A great trust is a beautiful thing to live for, and it’s a beautiful thing to die for.” Quoted from Mussolini’s Speech by Robert E. Speer. “Wisdom does not always come by years. Wisdom is forged into the character by observation and experience.” “Lawlessness breeds lawlessness.” “The cause of lawlessness is in the attitude which people take toward the law which they profess not to believe.” Israel T. Deyo. BOYS ' WEEK REFORESTATION GROUP Page One Hundred Forty-thr6e k - ■ M OIC — ' - ' IX PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 h A K - Boys’ Week National Boys’ Week was properly observed in Binghamton, May 7, for the second consecutive year when students of B. 0. H. S. took the places of city officials, officers of the Chamber of Commerce, and Hills, McLean and Haskins and Sisson Brothers, Welden Co. stores. The History Department had charge of all arrangements and con¬ ducted the affair, as it did last year, as nearly like the municipal elec¬ tion as possible. The party enrollment, primaries, and final voting were carried out with the result of an overwhelming victory for the -Republican party. Each student official was granted the privilege of making the appointments required by his office. The Commercial Department managed Hills, McLean and Haskins and Sisson Brothers, Welden Co. stores with efficiency. Another group, appointed by Mr. Hummer, took charge of the Chamber of Commerce in a way that gave Manager Wiles utmost assurance that Binghamton’s future citizens will put her on the map more than ever. Many volunteered to work on the reforestation squad and as a re¬ sult we will some day see a real forest on Mount Prospect. Ail of the groups accomplished their work in a manner that was a credit to the youth of Binghamton in general, and the students of B. C. H. S. in particular. Every one who participated in the work that day was greatly benefited by the knowledge gained through actual ex¬ perience and new conception of the business world. B. C. H. S. wishes to thank all of the business men and women who so kindly gave up their work to become teachers for a day and hopes the experience gained by the students will some day greatly reward Binghamton.

Page One Hundred Forty-five 10 BOYS ' WEEK—CITY OFFICIALS IXOIC PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 ZXOJC Exchange Department Our Exchange Department is our only means of communication with the magazines of other high schools, colleges, an 1 prep scnools. For this reason Exchange 1 notes are important although they may seem less interesting than other departments to most of the readers. The first thing the Exchange editor does when he receives a publi¬ cation from some other school is to turn to the Exchange notes. He is always anxious to see what other editors think of his school paper, what departments please them and what articles could he improved in their opinions. If their comments seem reasonable, the Exchange editor proposes the suggested improvements. All comments are printed in the Exchange notes of his paper. Besides printing the comments of others the Exchange editor read and comments on all magazines and papers that wish to be numbered among those on his list of Exchanges. The object of these colmments is to create a friendly feeling among school publications and through them among the students of the schools. All of these comments are intended to he perfectly frank whether they praise or blame. In either case the criticism should be helpful. j Our Exchange list contains the names of magazines and papers from schools in nearly every state of the Union, and in China and the Philip¬ pines. If the students could read these publications they would surely realize how high a rating our “Pan” has among other schools. l l Page One Hundred Forty-eight tc a ok a PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 W ■ -V O X M The Public Speaking Department This year lias been one of remarkable success for the Oral English Department. At the beginning of the year, Mr. Herbert Gaylord was added to the Department to teach the first and second year classes in public speaking. In this way, Mr. Donald M. Tower has been able to devote more time to dramatics and boys’ debate. Miss Emma Wilbur lias coached the girls’ debates. Due to the increasing number of students who wish to study dra¬ matics, two classes were formed last September, the beginning class, and the advanced class. Each presented a fall and a spring play. The beginning class chose Rachel Crother’s comedy, “Expressing Willie,” and Thompson Buchanan’s “ A Woman’s Way. ’ ’ Clyde Fitch’s remark¬ able success, “The Truth,” was presented by the advanced class in the fall, and “You and I,” Phillip Barry’s Harvard prize play, in May. From the proceeds of these two plays the class has purchased new light¬ ing equipment for producing different shades of light and other neces¬ sary staging effects. The work of each class differed to some extent. The beginning class studied the fundamentals of drama and presented several one-act plays, whereas the advanced class made a study of the lives and works of the chief contempory dramatists. With the combined talent of both classes, “The Stepmother” was presented in the Ithaca Statewide One- act Play Contest, where it received second place. The admirable work of the debate teams should be noted. Both the girls’ and boys’ Varsity debaters defeated Elmira in the two annual debates. The negative won the Civic Club debate for girls held in January. There was keen competition in the Meeker, Disinger, Weeks and Harvard contests. Some of our orators won first places: in the Cort¬ land Sectional of the New York Times Statewide Declamatory Contest, the subject being the Constitution of the United States; in the Ithaca Statewide Declamatory Contest; and also in the French Good-Will Contest. A third place was secured in the Alfred University Contest. The splendid organization of all these phases of our Oral English can come but from one source, the untiring energy of Mr. Tower. To him can be attributed all the fame and laurels which the department has gathered. It is with most sincere regret that not only the members of the respective classes but the whole student body regards his de- partuie. We are also sorry to lose Miss Wilbur, who leaves us for othei fields, and Mr. Gaylord, who will be at the Junior High School v ith Mi. Towei next year. Still we are confident that the successors oI Mi. Towei and Mi. Gaylord, will till their positions capably and will cai 1} on the fine work of which Mr. Tower was the founder. Page One Hundred Fifty 3tOX ' .. X iC=xox=x PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 «= DONALD M. TOWER Donald M. Tower In colleges and universities it is not uncommon for a new depart¬ ment to he established and for the reputation of that particular de¬ partment to he mateiially affected by the efforts of some one person. However, in high schools, this is very seldom the case. Only on rare occasions does one find an instructor whose work stands out in this unique manner. Here at B. U. H. bh, Donald M. Tower has won this distinction. Homing here in 1920 from the State College at Albany, Mr. Tower has since organized and developed one of the finest Public Speaking De¬ partments in the state. The quality of his work and the splendid achievements under his supervision have won for him much esteem. The oral English department, of which Mr. Tower was the head, has grown to he one of the most popular in the school, and its popu¬ larity proves its value. Under Mr. Tower, the students have not onlv been instructed in the mechanics of speech to the extent that they have taken prizes all over the state, hut there has been inculcated in them a character and culture quite invaluable. In all the subjects which Mr. Tower has directed, the excellent train¬ ing and experience in speaking before gatherings of people have given Page One Hundred Fifty-one K XOK XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 the students poise, an ease of manner, and a sense of assurance that could scarcely be obtained from any other source. Particularly in Dramatics and Debate is this true. In Debate, he has worked with the boys not just to produce vic¬ tories, but to enable them to reason more clearly and to bring out their various capabilities. The success of his methods is well attested by the fact that boys formerly with him have played prominent parts in col¬ legiate circles in speaking and debating. It was Mr. Tower who instituted the course in the drama here at school. The productions have become increasingly more polished till he culminated his efforts by a masterful presentation of “You and I.” The worth of this instruction can hardly be over-estimated. The stu¬ dents have become conversant with the finest in the theater, acquired a skill in expression and a grace of movement that will mean much to them. And all this is the work of one man. It was Mr. Tower who out¬ lined the idea, organized the classes and has so successfully conducted them that the department is an institution here at B. C. H. S. The educational value of his course was quickly recognized by the State Regents and credit is given for the study of these subjects. This in six years. Yet perhaps the greatest and finest thing about it, is the genuine friendship which binds Mr. Tower to all those who have studied with him. Relations rarely are so cordial between instructor and student. And now Mr. Tower is leaving. As principal of the new Junior High School his duties take him from us here at B. C. H. S., but we have the consolation that in losing him he is not far removed from ns and that the wonderful work which he has so admirably begun will continue to flourish as a real reminder of those days when he sat be¬ hind his desk in 104.

C. II. S. is progressing by leaps and bounds. Not only are more students becoming interested in musical activities but the quality of the organizations is becoming better. Our Band has grown to such proportions that a Second Band has become necessary. When the Band went to Ithaca to compete in the state-wide competition it received second place. Surely this is an ad¬ vance over the third place of the previous year. Next time we can look forward to getting first place. This year has also seen another notable event for the Band. Each member is clad in a brand new, spick and span uniform. Maybe this is one reason it moved from third to second place in the competition. The High School Orchestra has made great strides this year. Its playing was one of the features of the May Festival. A number of the Second Orchestra will be graduated next year. Special Chorus has accomplished much fine work the past year. Previous to this year the chorus has appeared but once in concert. This year, with less time for preparation than before, Special Chorus sang in two festivals. The opinion of all is that it is one of the best balanced choruses B. C. H. S. ever had, and from all those in chorus comes the remark that it has been one of the most enjoyable features of the year’s work in high school. The Girls’ Glee Club and Boys’ Glee Club sang at both Festivals this year and numerous outside events. Their work was exceptionally fine. One of B. C. H. S’s. newest organizations, the Boys’ Male Quar¬ tette, has made a worthy name for itself. They have appeared many times and show careful preparation. A flute ensemble consisting of Jack Hummer, Walter Short, Inez Gibson, Bessie Levy, and Tessie Levy helped please the audience at the May Festival. Success comes only through hard work. The hard work of all those in the Music Department in co-operation with the Director of Music, has made 1926 a successful musical year in high school. May Festival This year’s May I estival was exceptionally well given. Every one v as on his toes, so to speak, and the whole affair went off very smoothly. The program was as follows: ' ‘Entra ’acte and Valse from Cop- pelia Ballet, the Band; “Skylark,” and “Annie Lee,” the Chorus; Pi elude, from L’Arlesienne Suite, the Band; “Summer is Gone,” and “The Little Duckling,” the Chorus; “Overture to Stradella,” the Band; “Spring is Here,” and “Flower of Dreams,” Girls’ Glee Club; “Long Day Closes,” Boys’ Quartette; “Sweetest Story Ever Told,” Page One Hundred Sixty-two K XOK PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 XOK X Flute Ensemble; “Sword of Ferrara,” and “Lamp in the West,” Boys’ Glee Club; “Merry Go Round,” and “Hoochee Coochee Dance,” Or¬ chestra; “As Discord ’Neath a Master’s Hand,” and “Annie Laurie,” Chorus; “Funeral March of a Marionette,” Orchestra; “Sleep, Gentle Lady,” and “Miller’s Wooing,” Chorus; “March Militaire Francaise,” Orchestra; “Toreadors Song from Carmen,” Chorus and Orchestra. The Band’s tone quality, intonation, and ensemble was particularly worthy of mention. “Stradella” was perhaps their best rendition. The Chorus was the best balanced this year that it has ever been. Every attack was perfect and the tone coloring was excellent. The Bovs’ Glee Club received rounds of applause. The Flute Ensemble, a new organization, gave some very pleasing numbers. The Orchestra received its customary applause. Their precision was very good. The final number by the Orchestra and Chorus gave that necessary punch to the program that sent everyone away well satisfied with the evening’s entertainment.

H PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 The Art Department The quantity and quality of the work of the Art Department is in¬ creasing steadily with the years. Under the able tutelage of Miss Holcomb our budding artists have acquired laurels for themselves and for their Alma Mater. An approved display of posters has represented the talent of the department in each and every contest, of which there have been many. A “Safety Week” contest, sponsored by the Chamber of Com¬ merce, was a success from the point of view of the contestants and judges; three Dramatics’ Class plays and the semi-annual music festi¬ vals were advertised by our poster makers. Two other contests have been held: Triple City Exposition of Progress, and Eastern Star An¬ nual Ball. An exhibition conducted by the Hills, McLean and Haskins Store in connection with Boys’ Weeks brought the work of all sections of the Art Department before the public to its enlightenment and pleas¬ ure. Work in design, figure drawing and commercial advertising was displayed and created much favorable comment on the instruction and its results. Miss Holcomb and Mr. Doty, the Supervisor of Art, are greatly to be congratulated on their remarkable work in instituting and stimu¬ lating student and public interest in their Department.

These included not only our own talent but also some mighty fine talks by big business men. Among these were a travelogue by Arthur Alexander, and a “Safety First” Page One Hundred Seventy k xok=zx PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 xotczzzz talk by Orson L. H. Britton. Our own members put on an original one- aet. play, a mock trial, a debate, and a musical program. All of these were very entertaining. The initiation was particularly enjoyable— that is, to the initiators. Under the tutorship of the senators, the new members began rapidly to solve their own problems, especially that of washing the dishes after the feast. The most outstanding feature of 1925 was a new T tradition, the Congress-Friday dance, which promises to become a much anticipated annual affair. Equally as eventful was the Spring term. To attend some of the meetings, one would think that Congress has a monopoly on the male talent of B. C. H. S. One glance at the membership will verify this statement. Many of our greatest business men boast of being ex-Con- gressmen. The most popular meeting of the term was the Congress-Literary (dub joint meeting. On this occasion each club presented a short play The fact that the cast of one play was all girls and of the other, all boys made it unique. Congress’ greatest achievement was bringing the Hobart College Glee Club to this city. It involved a great deal of hard work but Con¬ gress perseverance put it across and presented a fine entertainment and dance. With its v 7 ell built foundation, Congress looks forward to many years of prosperity.

She has cer¬ tainly succeeded in a wonderful way. The committees have worked faithfully, and as a result, we have had some very interesting meetings. One of the best was a program on Burns’ life, some of his poems, and some Scotch songs and dances. We have also had some very clever programs on Washington, St. Patrick, and Frederick Chopin. These proved not only interesting but also instructive. At one meeting, Mrs. Inderlied reviewed in a very pleasing manner, the novel “Ramola,” by George Elliot. At another, Mr. Buckley gave us some valuable information about photography and antiques. We also were able to secure Mr. Frank Roberts of the “Stone Players,” to speak to us. He reviewed the play “Justice,” by John Galsworthy, making a dull play seem very interesting. In April, we gave our one-act play, “The Travelers,” for Congress. It was acted very cleverly and “Lit” is certainly proud of her ac¬ tresses. On the same night, Congress Club also put on a play for us. The boys acted their parts splendidly, proving to us what excellent girls they can make if they try. The most important event of the season was Paul Robeson’s enter¬ tainment, given on May 7. Mr. Robeson is a famous Negro Tenor, and his concert was a very delightful and unusual rendering of negro spirit¬ uals. A large part of the credit for these successes is due our faculty advisers, Miss Murphy, Miss Wilbur, and Miss Carpenter, who have always been ready to offer suggestions and give assistance. We also Page One Hundred Seventy-three K � OK XOK JX PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 want to thank Harriet Forrester, who was president last term, and Rosalind Rogers, who is president this term, for what they have done for “Lit.” We certainly appreciate it and feel that “Lit” owes much of her glory to them. —Assistant Secretary.

On Hallowe’en, Friday Club held a joint dance with Congress Club. It was a great success to say the least. We hope to make it an annual event. During the term the members have enjoyed hearing many prominent people speak to the club. Miss Lillian Desmond, leading lady of the Stone Players, told us about stage life. Mrs. Mary Brecht Pulver, a well-known writer, gave us glimpses of a writer’s personal life. Miss Madeline Hooten talked on her personal experiences and work. The programs of our weekly meetings this year have proved very interesting. W T e have had almost every variety, including debate, stunt, and musical programs. Friday Club has some talented members! The essay contest that was established last year was held again this spring. The grammar school students seem, very enthusiastic about it. Friday Club’s annual banquet, held at the Elks’ Club House, was well attended and enjoyed by all. Here’s hoping Friday Club’s future will always be as bright and successful as this past year has been. —Secretary.

One of the most enjoyable features of the year was the Open Night Suppei meeting to which the parents of the members were invited. Mr. Hartley led the singing of several songs, and Donald Fowler played a violin solo. The history of the Club was related by Marie Havko. Mi. Hummei and Mr. Wiles also gave short talks. After the meeting the parents were invited to inspect the school. The Annual Banquet was held May 25, at the Elk’s Club. The main speakers were Mr. Donald M.

As mam of the members of the Chamber of Commerce will leave school this June, we wish to express our desire that the Club will keep up its past good record. We also hope that all will have as many good times as we have had. -Secretary.

The last year, under the leadership of President Dick Chase, has been a thoroughly enjoyed and profitable one for the members of this club, as it was a year filled with numerous lectures and addresses, plans for tournaments, a dance, a theatre party, and other things. Having received permission, Hi-Y put on a dance in the High School gym, showing, by the large attendance, to the faculty that the pupils really want high school dances. Due to ideas brought back by some of the members of the club from the Hi-Y conference at Lodi, N ew York, it was decided at one of the meetings to run the club on a different basis from which it has been inn on before. I he main change is in membership. Heretofore, mem¬ bers have been chosen upon their application, but it has been decided to have members propose names in the meetings and if voted favorable to have a member of the club tap the fellow, who has been chosen, and tell him to come to Hi-Y on a certain date. The members think the tap system will work out 0. K. Some interesting speakers have been heard by members of the club, among honi veie Mr. Rodeheaver, Jack Goundry, of the Spanish Serenadeis, Mi. Ld Y eeks, Dr. Dwyer, Rev. D. Stanley Shaw, and Mr. Page One Hundred Eighty 3JOJC PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 JiOK. Heckman. The talks contained jokes, information as to what modern surgery is doing, as to the condition of tilings on the other side of the Atlantic, and as to what is expected of the boy of today as he grows up. A bowling league formed among the members of the club, and a theatre party served to liven things up and give variety to tire meetings. The club entertained the basketball team on what was called “Bas¬ ketball Night,” and listened to short speeches from Manager Gasey, Captain Feinstein, and Coach Greenman, in which they thanked the team for their support. Hi- ended its year of 1925-26 with an election of officers. The officers were: President, “Rad” Smith; Vice-President, “Dex” Bur¬ ley; Secretary, “Roy” Griffiths; and Treasurer, “Hank” Giles. They were wished the best of success by the outgoing officers. The club heartily thanks the same outgoing officers, president, Dick Chase, vice-president, Bob Gillson, secretary Amory Sherman, and treasurer, Stuart Horton for their devoted efforts which they have ex¬ tended to the club during the past year. —Secretary.

A number of Sophomores have become interested and joined the club. Our average attendance has been twenty-five. The officers for the fall term were: President, Harriet Gatlin; vice-president, Harriet Farr; and secretary, Robert Lees. The most prominent events during this time were making successful feeding stations for birds, and an informal de¬ bate in which it was decided that evergreen trees should be cut for use as Christmas trees. Some unusual contributions were made to the “Log¬ book” and a picture of Roosevelt was purchased. During the spring term the club was divided into three groups—minerals, plants, and animals. At each meeting one of the groups took charge. The merit tests were revised and several people qualified for their badges. The group studying birds enjoyed a pancake breakfast at the Stone farm. Finally the whole membership turned out for an all-day out-door meet¬ ing which took place along the Susquehanna above the Five Mile Turn.

Let the school Library loan them to ou foi the ;sum|ner. Tn certain moods the reading of fiction is more restful and enter¬ taining than any other type of book, and if one selects his volume with jcare his time will not he wasted. Here are a few titles that are master¬ pieces in their particular field: Atherton—The Conqueror. (This vivid story is based on the life of Alexander Hamilton). Barrie—Sentimental Topimv. (The best character study Barrie has written; shows the self-de¬ ception of the day-dreamer). Conrad—Lord Jim. (A story of the sea and of a man who redeems his cowardice by his self-sacrifice). Howells—Silas Lapham. (Considered by many the finest character study of a typical Ameri¬ can that has been written). Meredith—Ordeal of Richard Feveral. (A study in child training). W alpole—Fortitude. (“ ’Tisn’t life that matters ! ’Tis the courage that you bring to it! ’ ’) Those who expect to be in the country, come in and see what we have on flowers and birds, on stars and bugs and weeds and butterflies! For those who plan to be with a congenial friend we recommend a book of modern poetry. The Library has the best compilations ;two new ones are: Forbes, comp.—Modern verse. Merrill and Sprague, comps.—Contemporary verse. You might very well read with this, Phelps’ “The Advance of Eng¬ lish People in the Twentieth Century.” For those who must stay at home we recommend books of travel, modern plays and essays, of which our Library has a fine collection. We wish you all a pleasant and profitable vacation and hope you will let the Library help to realize this wish. 5 a ‘ rage One Hundred Eighty-four UPPER CLASS FIRE DRILL VARSITY FOOTBALL TEAM JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTB-.LL FRESHMAN FOOTBALL TEAM ZXOiC PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 = IXOJC Sports It is a noticeable fact that athletics are rapidly gaming an ever en¬ larging niche, and are wielding an ever increasing influence in Ameri¬ can life. The sportsman, the nature lover, the athlete; all types of outdoor men developed by, and as the very essence of piesent-day America, are splendid examples of man’s growing lealization of the values to be derived from the healthy physical condition, tiom making the body equal in strength to the mind;—in other words—to house one’s mental dynamo in a bodily power house constructed according to the best possible methods of physical development. Of the so-called classes of outdoor men, it is the purpose of this article to consider only the athlete. King Sport, content to remain somewhat in the background during quite a few of the troubled cen¬ turies of the world’s history, has apparently chosen this, the twentieth century, as a fitting vehicle to portray his lasting drama known as “The Athletic Realm.” Evidence of the entrance of several of tl King’s satellites has been noticed in the past few years. Metropolitan dailies are at present devoting complete sections to informing eager readers of the constant progress of this drama of Sport! (treat Uni¬ versities are building monster ampitlieaters to stage athletic contests of all kinds. The Olympic Games serve as a constant spur to American athletes to develop teams of an ever higher calibre, teams possessing that necessary added iota of speed and of endurance to insure Ameri¬ can victory in that venerable sports carnival held once every four years. The recent visits of Stenroos, Finnish marathon star, of Hoff, Norwegian pole-vault champion, of Paulen, Dutch middle distance runner, and of a host of other foreign stars has served to arouse interest, and enter¬ tain the American public as each player makes his bow upon the stage and exhibits his speed and prowess with Father Time as judge. Taken all in all—athletics, at present, are riding the crest of a long-deserved wave of popularity. The simile applies to our own school’s athletic curriculum. B. C. H. S. athletics have been put on a systematic basis to insure participa¬ tion in the greatest possible number of sports by the largest possible number of students. Blue and White athletic teams competing in numerous fields, have had a genuinely successful year as will be shown by the team summaries. But, aside from the team, aside from helping- build a winning reputation for B. C. H. S. aggregations, each “fellow” has been building something for himself—a better body machine, a finer competitive spirit, an ingrained sporting sixth sense—and it is to these “fellows” that this athletic section of the 1926 Annual is dedi¬ cated.

T° crown a splendid season and to return that silver football from C.-E. to its ultimate, final resting place in the halls of B. C. H. S. was the task set for the 1925 eleven. You all know the result— superlative Blue and White fight and attack triumphed. 1 lie game slate for the ’25 season was kept clean, with five vic¬ tories and one hard-fought tie with Elmira, as a result of the final summing up.

S. set a terrific early season pace, winning eleven straight, then sustained a tough break at Cortland and was finally forced to share the league leadership with Elmira. The playoff game gave Elmira victory, after a hard fight, and the right to represent this sec¬ tion at Syracuse where the Ehnirans later won the New ork High School Championship. All letter men except Captain Feinstein are due to return next year, so that a still faster combination should be forthcoming. Another feature of the year’s basketball entertainment was the formation of a strong second team.
