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

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

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
