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

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

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
