k==xok= PANORAMA ANNUAL 1926 . -hok zzzX Howard Bird “ Bud ” “I like the world—the world likes me.” Cross Country Letter Man (3); Glee Club (4); Special Chorus (4). That blond, medium-sized fellow witli the ready smile and quick wit pictured above is “Bud”. He surely can’t be called a “dead one” for whenever there is any fun going- on he is always at hand to participate and contribute. On the wings of his sunny, even, disposition a certain Bird has already soared high in our estimation. Just keep flying, Howard! Ina Butterfield “Happiness is not to he prescribed, but enjoyed.” Literary Club (3-4); Junior Basketball Team (3); Interclass Tennis, Hockey, Basketball, and Baseball Teams (4); Honor Student (4). “Hello?—Yes, this is the Recording Angel.—Ina Butterfield?—Just a moment. Baxter—Bollman, yes, here it is—Butter¬ field.—Hmm.—Not a thing against her.— Good student, good sport, good friend and a jolly sort of person to know. What?— Is she a snob!—Not at all, not at all.— Yes, she has my highest recommendation. —You’re welcome. Call again! Good¬ bye!” Ruth Barnes “A look and a Ninile for all.” Dom Econ (2-3); Friday Club (4). You Stop! Look! and Wonder! when Ruth comes around. You stop to find out where the laughter comes from; you look and see Ruth with her many friends; and then you wonder how anyone can have so many. The quotation explains. Jack Casey “ Skip ” “There i.s a San (a Claus. Scholarship Insignia (1-3); Honorable Mention, Poetry Contest (2); Varsity Basketball, Assistant (Manager (3), Man¬ ager (4); Congress Club (3-4); Inter- class Basketball Team (3); Varsity Tennis (3-4), Sectional Championship Doubles Team (4); Circulation Manager “Morning Sun”, Boys’ Week (3); Sports Editor of “Panorama” (4); Chairman of Invitation Committee (4); Honor Stu¬ dent (4); Class Notable—.Most Original; Class Prophet (4). What sixth sense is it which tells Jack how long he can put off writing those athletic notes without endangering his life? He always seems to know. We never yet have known Jack to get them in on time (maybe that’s why we are al¬ ways so glad to get them when they do come). Nevertheless, he has been known to appear serious and settle down to hard work, when the occasion demanded it. IlLLlTTTmiLlilJjliJnn rrmTiTTmiTml l Page Thirty-one

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

K ok PANORAMA ANNUAL 1 926 £ Helen Corcoran “Joy to the Toiler.” Special Chorus (1); L. C. Smith Certifi¬ cate, 30 words (3); L. C. Smith Pin, 40 words (3); Chamber of Commerce (3-4), Helen has been more than industrious during her four years in high school. From all reports of commercial law classes in which Helen has taken part, we might be led to believe that some day in the near future she may be starring as- a “lady of the law.” Patrick Carbone “Pat” “I crave action.” Varsity Baseball (1-2-3-4); Freshman Bas¬ ketball (1); Junior Interclass Basketball Champions (3); Football (2-4) ' , Squad (2), Varsity (4); Special Award Sweat¬ er (4). During the time we’ve known “Pat,” we have always found him thoroughly busy and really enjoying it—in numerous activities of school life. He left us in January, leaving his athletic footprints on the mud of the varsity football grid¬ iron and the green sod of the baseball diamond. Keep up that same old spirit of hard playing, “Pat.” Olive Cole “Old king Cole was n merry old soul. And a merry old soul was lie” Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4); Certificate Perfect Attendance, Two Years (3). And his namesake and descendant, (perhaps), is bequeathed with a goodly share of this desirable feature. She’s not prudish, which is moral, prim which is physical, or priggish which is mental, but an altogether likeable and worth¬ while person to know. Mansfield Connelly “Studious of ease and fond of liunilile tilings.” Football (1); Track Squad (3-4); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (2-3-4). Mansfield has steadily plugged along in the Business Course, preparing for something bigger. Indeed, it is a “man’s-field” which he must fill and whatever it may be, we wish him suc¬ cess.
