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

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 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
