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 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

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
