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 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.

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

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
