RUSHMER Senior Dean Mentor J otesi Graduation—at last! It is the culmination of four years of good times, study and friendship. Four years ago, this day seemed so far away, and yet, how desirable and joyous. When we thought of gradua¬ tion it meant the time when we could go out into the world Avitli no more lessons, no more worries. Now, while it appears to some that way, to many of us it seems only the beginning of lessons and worries. When we think of leaving the many friends we have made, and the good times we have had, it does not seem that graduation is an escape, but merely a door into a bigger school,—Life. Nevertheless, it is a time for happiness. It stands to show what we have accomplished. W T e will have friends outside of school; we will have good times also; and the world will still require that our lessons be prepared. These four years have been busy, happy years. Now that they are completed we look back, and enjoy our verdant color as Freshmen. (We did do funny things, didn’t we?). As Sophomores we were becoming acquainted with various procedures. As Juniors, our dignity began to “sprout”. As Seniors,—we have the largest graduating class that has ever passed over the rostrum; we have members in our class to whom the school can always point with pride. And so we go out to meet the responsibilities of life, hopeful, happy, and ever proud of our own B. C. Id. S.

Miss Carpenter, Mr. Rushmer Mr. Schuster Page Twenty-two PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 A. Roy Auchinachie —Hime “A truer friend cannot be found.” Freshman Football (1); Varsity Football Squad (2-3-4); Skating Team (2-3-4) ; Boys Week, Pres¬ ident of Common Council. Roy has gone through High School with just enough work and fun to get the most out of the four years. He has never studied too hard, it is true; but he plugged enough to pass with a good record. His heart was in the football team, and it’s to the memories of those glorious games that his thoughts will turn. Leah Allen— Lee I call her “Lee”. Because she means a lot to me. Somehow it seems hard 1o say Oh Leah! Which is far too stiff like the Englishman’s O Deah! Girls Interclass Baseball (3); Girls Interclass Hockey (3). Leah has beautiful long hair but she does not lack pep. She has played baseball and bas¬ ketball and hockey. She is al¬ ways ready to laugh. Even a trip to Florida this spring did not change her. We surely hate to lose “Lee”. Julia Ahern— Julie “I danced, I talked, I laughed, I sang.” Nature Study Club (1); Chamber of Commerce (2- 3-4); Friday Club (3); Boys Week, Head of Trimmings Dept., Hills, McLean Haskins (4). Lost—June, 1927 —from B. C-. H. S., a wonderful, happy, and valuable girl. A girl who is trustworthy and ambitious. The finder may easily identify lost property by her personal¬ ity, her helpfulness in time of need, her steadfastness, and her happy-go-lucky, care-free attitude. Sarah Arlasky “Like flowers of the fields she grows.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Basketball (1); Chamber of Comerce (2-8-4). Who ' s that hurrying down the hall ? Oh how sweet and yet so small. Laughing eyes and curly hair, Never, never quite aware Of her wisdom and her wit. Say boy —isn’t she a hit ? Bertha Ayers “I know each day will bring its tasks.” Scholarship Insignia (2); Chamber of Commerce (3- 4); Honor Student (4). “Do you know a girl who is not afraid to work and on whom you can depend ?” You know, sometimes it is hard to find a girl like that.” “I know just the girl you want for that position. Her name is Bertha Ayers. She is true and loyal, willing to lend a helping hand, no matter how busy she may be. When she was in high school she was a high honor student. Yes, she can fill that position.” Agnes Aitken “Art would mean little even though divine, But art combined with intel¬ lect is most sublime.” Special Chorus (2-3-4); 1st Prize, “Annual Festival” Poster Contest, 1926 (3), 1927 (4) 1st Prize, “Phan¬ tom Drum” Poster Con¬ test (3); 1st Prize, “Win¬ ter Dust” Poster Contest (4); Dom Econ Club (4); Art Editor, Panorama (4); Class Notable, Artist (4); Gold Key (4). Isn’t it just great to be bril¬ liant? Agnes could answer, “Yes, of course.” While most of us would look on wonder- ingly. Page Twenty-three PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Dorothy Bryant— Dot “At all I laugh you laugh no doubt, The only difference is, I dare laugh out.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4): Special Chorus (1-2). Dorothy enthuses over life and its problems with a spon¬ taneity that is delightfully in¬ fectious. And well she may, for she has a pleasing per¬ sonality and plenty of ability. She has the charming charac¬ teristic of appearing quite un¬ aware of her own cleverness. Marion Brooker— Bo “Is not true leisure one with true work ?” Basketball (2-3); Dom Econ (3-4); Hockey (2); Tennis (3); Intra-Mural Award (3). Marion has been prominent among us as an athlete, and has even won an intra-mural letter. After graduation from Cortland Normal, she will put her athletic experience to use in teaching kindergarten. But then, we know she won’t be too hard on the youngsters. Efrozina Bubas— Effie “If all the year were play¬ ing holidays, To sport would be as tedious as to work.” Interclass Basketball (1-2- 4); Tennis (2-3); Hockey (3) ; Girls Varsity Bas¬ ketball Squad (3); Spec¬ ial Chorus (3-4); Friday Club (3-4); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Inter¬ class Athletic Insignia (4) . Even though Effie has been one of our finest girl athletes, we have never worried that she might give all her days to sport, for she has been a thorough worker in her studies and in music. We’re proud of her. Mary Bah an— Dusty Berenice Bradley John Brusil “Standing with reluctant feet where the brook and river meet.” Nature Study Club (1); Friday Club (2-3-4); Chamber of Commerce (3-4). That’s Mary ! Now that high school days are ended and she is about to face the world of reality, she looks back long¬ ingly upon the four years she has spent at B. C. H. S. And who knows but deep down in her heart she almost wishes she was a care-free, happy Freshman once more, crossing its threshold of learning for the first time? —Berrie “ ’Tis Berenice blest and fair.” Basketball (1-2-3-4); Swim¬ ming (2) ; Tennis (2-3) ; Hockey (3-4) ; Literary Club (2-3-4), Asst. Secy. (3) ; In¬ tra-Mural Letter (3); Capt. Senior Hockey Team (4) ; Scholarship (4) ; Boys Week. Ready-to-Wear Counter at Hills, McLean Haskins (4). Major Premise: Anyone who is sincere, sweet, jolly, and brilliant is a friend whom we all covet. Minor Premise: “Berrie” is sweet, sincere, jolly and brilliant. Conclusion: Therefore, “Berrie” is a friend we all covet. “Ambition has no rest.” Baseball (1); Interclass Basketball (2-3-4); Pres, and Delegate of Home Room 115 (4); Congress Club (4); Chairman of Handbook Committee (4); Boys Week, Board of Ed¬ ucation (4); Honor Stu¬ dent (4). b. C. H. S. has lost its “Jinx”! Ordinarily this excla¬ mation would be the signal for rejoicing. Now, however, it brings sighs of sincere sad¬ ness linked with pleasant mem¬ ories, for this is not an ordi¬ nary jinx of disaster, but one of kindness, sympathy, good fellowship, and happiness,— John Brusil. Page Twenty-four PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Doris Brown— Deedee “There is likewise a reward for faithful silence.” Literary Club (1-2-3); Per¬ fect Attendance (1-2-3); 1st Prize, Electric Light¬ ing - Contest (3); Girls Glee Club (3); Senior Hockey (4); All School Hockey (4). Doris is so tiny and so quiet that you hardly know when she is around yet what a brain that little body holds. She is active in all pursuits. Because of this we are sure that she will be as welcome to Cornell as she has been here. Dorothy Bunnell —Dot “Still achieving, still pur¬ suing.” Special Chorus (2-3); Fri¬ day Club (2-3-4); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (3-4); Boys Week, Ready-to- Wear Counter, Hills, Mc¬ Lean Haskins (4). Dorothy is a girl whom you just like to know” because of her personality—I think that’s what you call it. The above quotation seems to be most appropriate, for she left us in January to help the wheels of the commercial world go ' round. Ezra Botnick— Izzy “Little but O, my!” Varsity Track (1-2). “Izzy” is quite a speedy man for his size. He was on the track team for two years where he “did his stuff” first rate. He is a lively man out¬ side of school also and we re¬ gret that we will no longer see this big, little man. John Boyle “Devout yet cheerful, active yet resigned.” John has a tendency to get his lessons every day and yet he never seems to have to study very hard or long to get them. He has made many ac¬ quaintances in his four years in school, all of whom have only the best of words for John. He expects to go to New York University. Bernice Barden —B unny “Life is mostly froth and bubble; Two things stand like stone; Kindness in another’s trouble, Courage in our own.” Literary Club (2-3-4); Chamber of Commerce (3-4). Bunny” is one of those quiet people who always make up a large majority of the membership of any organiza¬ tion,—one of those people who are always glad and willing to do what they can to help. Those who have missed the opportunity of having her for a friend have lost something worth while. Calista Bennett “Wisdom is better than rubies.” Panorama Reporter (1-2-3); 2d Prize Milton Bradley Na¬ tional Essay Contest (1) ; 2d Prize Charles Divine Poetry Contest (1) ; Scholarship In¬ signia (1-2-3-4); Literary Club (2-3-4) ; Prize, Electric Lighting Contest (2) ; Ex¬ change Editor, Panorama (4) ; Civic Club Debate (4) ; Cold Key (4) ; Asst. Treas., Senior Class (4) ; Chamber of Commerce (2), Vice-Pres., (4) ; L. C. Smith Typewriting Certificate (4) ; Honor Stu¬ dent (4). Calista has so many achieve¬ ments she hasn’t left space for us to mention any more of •s uiod poos jaq Page Twenty-five PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Morris Blair Mary Alice Brownlow Batiike Dorothy “But let me silent be; For silence is the speech of love, The music of the spheres above.” Dorothy is perhaps not as well known as we would like her to be; still, considering the fact that she entered B. C. H. S. only last term, she has made many friends, and is well-liked by all who know her, for she has made a place for herself in our Alma Mater. “There is no truer truth obtainable By man than comes of music.” Band (1-2-3-4); Orchestra (1 -2-3-4) ; Chamber of Commerce (1-2-3), Ser- geant-at-Arms (3); Band Award (2-3-4); Gold Key (3); Boys Week, Orches¬ tra at Hills, McLean Haskins (4). I notice one important thing that Morris left out of his ac¬ complishments. He forgot to mention that he holds the championship of the Southern tier for falling over his drums in the middle of a concert number. But we will always be proud of him just the same. “How sweet and fair she seems to be!” 1st Prize, Disinger Contest (1); Second Orchestra (1); Scholarship (1-2-3- 4); 1st Prize, Weeks Con¬ test (2); Literary Club (2-3-4), Secy., (3), Pres- (4); Junior Representa¬ t ive, Home and School Association (3); Student Member G. O. Council (3-4); Gold Key (3); Awards Committee (4); Manager Hockey Team (4); Honor Student (4); Salutatorian (4). Mary Alice is a paragon of what all girls ought to be— and lovable with all that. Emily Bennett “That load becomes light which is cheerfully borne.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4). Here’s one of our ’27 Seniors who left us in January. Emily has worked her way through high school, determinedly, proving that cheerfulness makes the hard tasks easy. We know that she plans to go to Cortland Normal School next September and that she will make herself and others happy on her way to success. Sarah Bennett— -Sally “She speaketh not and yet there lies A conversation in her eyes.” Literary Club (2-3-4); Chairman of Home Room 106 (4). You’ve all seen Sally wan¬ dering ’round the corridors with her hat perched debon¬ airly on the back of her head and a merry, friendly look in her smiling brown eyes. Of course you have. Who hasn’t? And you recognized her as a friend and “a jolly good fel¬ low” too, didn’t you, for that’s what she is. Don ' t take the above quotation too literally, however. Sally does speak once in a while. Catherine Boothby —Kay “Let thy words be few.” Literary Club (1-2-3-4); Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4). “Kay” plans to be a nurse and we’re sure her patient won’t be disturbed by Any noise created by her. She has been with us these four years but we’ve heard very little from her. 1 However, in her quiet, unassuming manner, Kay has always upheld the standards of B. C. H. S. • Page Twenty-six PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Lucille Badger Clement Conole— Clem Ruth Cramer “In some time, good time, I shall arrive.” Literary Club (2-3-4); Special Chorus (1-2); Dom Econ (2); Interclass Hockey (3); Interclass Basketball (3). You’ve a good start already, Lucille. Nursing is strenuous and particular work but for one who is so conscientious and enthusiastic, there’s no way but up and up to the top. When you look down, wish us luck. “I would live to study, and not study to live.” Clem” is a quiet worker, a steady friend, and a fellow who can see the funny side of last year’s joke. He manages to get his lessons without much work and is quite an efficient bluffer. However, “Clem” will be able to hold his own in business, we are sure. “Sincerity Plus Modesty Gains Success.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Literary Club (2-3-4); Scholarship (2); Dom Econ (3-4); Glee Club (4); Honor Student (4). Ruth is one of those people who are well worth knowing, always willing to help a fellow in any way she can. Her cheerfulness not only gains her many friends now, but will prove a great asset to her when she faces the world at large. There are few who are as capable as Ruth, for who could do justice to three oc¬ cupations as Ruth is doing? Leah Cooper “Industry is the parent of fortune.” Tennis (3). If you want to meet some¬ one who is full of fun and mis¬ chief but always dependable —just meet Leah. Besides she is one who has found it possi¬ ble to complete her course in three and one-half years. Her ready smile and willingness to help others are sure to bring her success. Marguerite Cawley —Polly “A merry heart goes all the day.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Friday Club (4). Marguerite is one of those persons who can always see the funny side of life. She believes in Winning with a smile”. If you should happen to walk by Special Chorus some Tuesday or Friday and hear some sweet voice sound¬ ing above the others, stop and listen for this is “Polly.” Frances Conlon— Fran “Let me call you sweet¬ heart.” Nature Study Club (1); Friday Club (2-3-4), Ser- geant-at-Arms, Treasurer (3), Vice-President (4); Swimming (2); Junior Hockey (3); Senior Bas¬ ketball (4); Senior Base¬ ball (4); Class Notable, Best Natured Girl. A sweet Irish lass strolling down the corridors (not al¬ ways alone)—that’s “Fran.” A snappy little guard playing basketball—that’s “Fran.” But if you’ve seen her reciting in class, or as Vice-President of Friday Club—that’s Mary Frances! ! Page Twenty-seven PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Marian Coon Paul Calabuisi Loretta Connelly — Letti) “A girl she was to all the country dear.” Basketball (2-3), Capt., (2); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Dom Econ (4). Everybody knows what an interesting little package Marian is with her flaming ' hair and blue, blue eyes, but maybe everyone doesn’t know that she is just as interesting as she looks. A good friend and a sportsman,—you’ve all seen her play basketball and hockey—she has made a record for herself here in B. C. H. S. “A hearty voice, a laugh, a whistle, pleasant eyes that see and smile.” Baseball (1). A mathematical genius, a silent, persevering worker; cheerful and helpful. True in word, True in deed, A friend of all, A good fellow indeed. ‘‘Begone, dull care! I prithee begone from me! Begone, dull care! Thou and I shall never agree!” Panorama Reporter (1-2); Nature Study Club (1); Literary Club (2-3-4); Scholarship Award (2-3- 4); Gold Key (4); Honor Student (4). “Isn’t she cute, isn’t she sweet?” Just cast an eye in her direction—now need you ask such a question ? Letty is not only good to look at. but she’s a brilliant little miss aussi. Whatever she does or wherever she goes, she’s sure to be successful. Margaret Curry— Peg “Greatness knows itself.” Interclass Basketball, John¬ son City High (2). Margaret left us in January to begin training for a nurse in Binghamton City Hospital. She was successful in her work in “High” and we know she is going to be equally so in her work, as a nurse. She has all ,thg qualities of a good nurse, —steadiness, cheerfulness, and patience. Henry Clisson— Red “Oh, Henry! !” And Henry has plenty of merits. He’s a good student and a good friend. You can rely on him whether it is for a lesson or for a fine pal. But did anyone ever hear him .■boast? No. He’s as modest as he is clever, and that’s saying a ..whole lot. . . -! ' ■ . £. -.r ’« • L r j V ■ . Ruth Cary “We blossom and ask no reason, “The Lord of the garden knows.” Chamber of Commerce (3- 4); Friday Club (4). Our school has always abounded in good things. Take for example, Ruth Cary. It is her type which makes the stu¬ dent admit that good marks in the commercial course are possible, the teacher remark that her position has its com¬ pensations, and the business man insist that his secretary be a graduate of B. C. H. S. Page Twenty-eight PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 James Corbett “The thirst to know and understand.” Jeannette Clarke —Jean Theodore Cohn— Teddy Congress (2-3-4), Treasurer ( ii. His heart is true, his eyes are blue, A smiling face, That wins the race, Has Jim. A man that’s fair. And always square. Is Jim. A bit reserved. But ne’er unnerved, Is Jim. He always works. And never shirks. Does Jim. And so we say While yet we may, “Atta Boy Jim.” “Her voice was ever soft, gentle, and low—an ex¬ cellent thing in woman.” Basketball (1-2-4); Liter¬ ary Club (3-4); Senior Hockey Team (4), Var¬ sity (4); Honor Student (4); Gold Key (4); Asst. Literary Editor of Pano¬ rama (4); Class Essayist (4). Here’s to Jean, a truT friend, a zealous student, and a good sport—may she al¬ ways have, as she deserves, the best! “The perfection of one’s self is the fundamental base of all progress and all moral development.” Teddy” has rolled through his high school career with smiles for everyone. We all admire his good fellowship and his hard labor. Teddy” ex¬ pects to be a lawyer and we know he can be nothing but a prosperous one. Burton Craw— Burt “They reckon ill who leave him out.” Special Chorus (1-2-3). . This institution is noted for the quality of its products and Burt is no exception. He is “all wool and a yard wide”; guaranteed by his teachers and fellow students. He is a friend to be prized, one who will not fail in a pinch, and will give to his full extent. Go to it, Burt. Kathleen Collins “A Princess in the realm of Friendship.” Special Chorus .(1): Liter¬ ary Club 1 -2-3-4); Gold Key (4); Honor Student (4). .. i Kathleen liked B. C. H. S. well enough to grace it with her presence for an extra half year while she took a P. G. course, and weren ' t we all glad? She has the jolliest, most comfortable giggle that ever lightened anybody’s heart. “Lit” will miss her energetic work. Francis Carbone —F ritzy Modesty in a young man is nature’s gift divine.” Fritz had been very quiet.lv spending his years in B. C. H. 5. when finally, unable to re¬ prise any longer, he expressed lis genius by collaborating in the writing of the one-act play, “Why Education?” which wa-s presented in assembly during Boys Week. , Page Twenty-wine Panorama annual, 1927 Homer Collier George Cole— Coley Clarence Chaffee “Calamity is man’s true touch stone.” Nature Study Club (1); Chamber of Commerce (1-2-3-4); Congress (2-3- 4); Hi Y (2-3-4); Swim¬ ming Team (3); “Ex¬ pressing Willie” (3); “A Woman’s Way” (3); “The Patchwork Quilt” (3); Homer has done his bit and done it well. His portrayals of character parts in dra¬ matics class plays have brought him to the fore. Last year Homer might have been one of the swimming team ' s biggest assets, had not Fate caused him a double misfor¬ tune. that of breaking his leg ■ious operation. “Thoughts are mightier than the strength of hand.” He is a regular fellow doing his work yet killing as much time as anyone. George has never burned as a bright light in school life, but rather as a steady one. He is well liked by all who know him. “On their own merits, modest men are dumb.” Congress (4); Glee Club (4); Special Chorus (4). Clarence has the fortunate capacity of expressing his own cheery disposition in song, for the benefit of others. He has played his part among the songsters of the Boys Glee Club during his Senior year. Moreover, Clarence intends to make himself known as a mus¬ ical director after four years at Syracuse. Roselyn Corbett “Smile and the world smiles with you.” Corporal, Girls Vigilance Committee (1): Member of Awards Committee (2); Literary Club (2-3); Interclass Baseball (4). Roselyn’s quick smile is the kind that always brings a response, and her happy friendliness is a bright spot for those who know her. One must be a friend to have friends. Roselyn has them. Bruno Chape “The power of thought— the magic of mind.” Scholarship Insignia (2-3- 4); Gold Key (4); Fifth Honor Student; Class Notable, Most Brilliant (4); Boys Week, Commis¬ sioner of Public Works (4); Class Day Officer, Sergeant-at-Arms (4); Tallest Member of Class (4). “He came” to B. C. H. S. to make the best of all op¬ portunities. “He saw” that to do this he must arm himself with the armor of Work and the piercing lance of Thought before which everything falls. Thus “he conquered.” Margaret Costello —Peg Nature Study Club, Vice- Pres., (1); Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4), Vice- Pres., (4); Friday Club (4); Class Notable, Girl Heartbreaker. No wonder she’s called “Peg ' O My Heart”. The fact that she was chosen “Heartbreaker” in our class goes to show how popular Peg is. Not only is she popular along social lines but she is the Vice-President of Chamber of Commerce this year and an exceptionally good commercial student. She al¬ ways has a smile and a “hello” ready for everyone. Page Thirty r • PANORAMA.ANNUAL, 1927 Jennie Durofchalk Charles Day —-Charlie Elizabeth Donahue —Jen “Where she falls short, ’tis nature’s fault alone; Where she succeeds, the merit’s all her own.” Dom Econ (1-2-3-4), Pres., (4); Corporal, Girls Civic League (1); Mgr. Girls Hockey Team (3); Mgr. Girls Baseball Team (3); Girls Tnterclass Basket¬ ball (3); Friday Club (4); Special Chorus (4); Civic Club Debate (4); Intra- Mural Insignia (4); Reg- isseur, Dramatics Class Play, “Icebound” (4); “Winter Dust” (4); Boys Week, Head of Pattern Dept., Hills, McLean Haskins (4). “Wit and personality are the basis of friendship.” Tennis (2-3), Captain (3); Assistant Manager of Basketball (3). Charlie is known everywhere for his keen wit, and good dis¬ position. No matter how much you try to “kid” him he always accepts it with a grin and then uses his wit. “Char¬ lie” has also been an outstand¬ ing star in tennis besides maintaining a good scholastic record. With all these quali¬ ties in his possession, we are sure that Charlie” will make a name for himself in the future. —Betty “There is no art to find the mind’s construction in the face.” Chamber of Commerce (2- 3-4), Secretary (4); Fri¬ day Club (3-4); Boys Week, Office Assistant, Hills, McLean Haskins (4). If to her lot some errors should fall. Look in her face and you’ll forget them all A wonderful person, nobly planned To win, to comfort, and com¬ mand. Dolores Donnelly “’Tis true this Miss is very charming.” Nature Study Club (1); Chamber of Commerce (3-4), Secretary (4); Fri¬ day Club (4); Scholarship (1 -2-3-4); Boys Week. Head of Hosiery Dept.. Hills, McLean Haskins (4); Honor Student (4). Dolores is one of the girls who is always in haste, but never in a hurry. Perhaps you’ve seen her strolling in the corridors; maybe it was in 113; or if you wandered over to the girls swimming meets you were probably attracted by a bright red suit and a big smile—that was Dolores. Ferdinand DuPlessis —Fritz “Look, he’s winding up the watch of his wit; by and by it will strike.” Our friend came to B. C. H. S. bringing a pent-up, rest¬ less spirit of adventure and a spark of droll humor. And this spark, instead of flaring up in one big flame and dying an instant death, has kindled, and spread until an even brightness glows. May it gleam as steadily forever. Maxine Dewey —Mack “She makes sweet music with enameled stones.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Glee Club (1-2-3-4); Girls Interclass Basketball (2); Girls Tnterclass Tennis (3); String Quartet (4); Duet in “Monsieur Beau- caire” (3). Mack”! Rather an odd nickname for a girl but like most friendly “handles” it fits. It is expressive of the abrupt, cheerful, good pal so frequent¬ ly found in Room 120 or at the piano in the auditorium. You are going on and it is right that you should, but you are going to leave an empty corner which you have made your own. Best wishes. Page Thirty-pns PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Timothy Dempsey— Tim Neta Davey Ruth Doughty— Ruthie “Nature might stand up and say to all the world, ‘This is a man’.” Timothy is the blonde¬ haired youth with a good word for everyone. Four years of part-time work have hindered him from participating in athletics which his heart and soul desired. However, in spite of his limited time, he has attained success in his studies. “Her only fault is that she has no fault.” Special Chorus (1-2-3); Fri¬ day Club (2-3-4), Ser- geant-at-Arms (3); Girls Civic League (1). The young lady whose pic¬ ture you see here took a Homemaking course while with us, and we just know she will use it to advantage some day ! “To make the world a friendly place. One must show it a friendly face.” Nature Study Club (1) ' , Certificate for Perfect Attendance (3); Friday Club (4); Honor Student (4). No need attempt to justify it. He needs only to know Ruthie”. Perhaps we wonder at times how people can be so bright? According to Ruth’s method it is a simple project. Ruth is not one of those fair weather friends who are always plentiful, but she is one of those few who share our rainy days. John Davis “Everything comes if a man will only wait.” Orchestra (1-2). John is the kind of fel¬ low that plugs along at his work with a real determina¬ tion that he will master it. He is plucky no matter how much he has to do. These qualities are just what he can use in the future at Hamilton where he intends to spend his next four years. George Evenden “Oh, the little birds sang east, and the little birds sang west.” George is a happy-go-lucky chap—the kind that makes us forget there is any thing in High School to worry about. He has a happy ability for making a piano sing which corresponds well to his nature. Gertrude Engelbert —Gertie “Though unassuming, yet noble in deeds.” Quietly and pleasantly. Ger¬ trude goes about her work in a full-hearted fashion, perse¬ vering to the end. She spec¬ ializes in Home Economics, yet is uncertain as to her future work. We’ll question it no further, “Gertie”, lest it mate necessary too many explana¬ tory statements. However:— We wish success to you In whatever you undertake to do. Page Thirty-two PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Harold Evans— Charlie Evelyn Eckert— Eddie Virginia Edgecombe “She wandered down the mountain side.” —Gin A true friend is forever a friend.” Harold is not seriously given to melancholy. In fact, he en¬ joys a little fun as much as anyone and more than most. However, he has been known to study. He is known among his friends as a chess wizard. Literary Club (1-2-3-4); Interclass Tennis Team (2-4); Dramatics Class Plays, “A Woman’s Way” (3) , “Icebound” (4), “Winter Dust” (4); Mgr., Ithaca 1st Prize Play, “The Flattering Word” (4) ; Mgr. Girls Tennis Team (4); Class Notable, Most Popular Girl (4). “Eddie” is one of those re¬ freshing people that always do the least expected thing. How¬ ever, those who know her do the expected and inevitable thing—love her. “Divinely tall and most divinely fair.” Literary Club (2-3); Dra¬ matics Class Play “A Woman’s Way” (3), “Ice¬ bound” (4), “Winter Dust” (4). “Gin” is a damsel of rare wit and charm. Her inimita¬ ble wit can be at once bril¬ liant, impudent, and scathing —a thing of delight and dan¬ ger. She has proved herself to be a charming and versa¬ tile actress in several plays in which she has taken part. Matthew Egan— Matty “Shur’ an’ he’s a bye after me own heart.” Freshman Baseball Bas¬ ketball; Varsity Baseball (3) ; Varsity Football (2- 3-4), Capt. (4); Varsity Basketball (2-3-4), Capt. (4) ; G. O. Delegate (3); 1926 Boys Week (Fire Chief); 1927 Boys Week (Mayor); Awards Com¬ mittee (3-4); Class Nota¬ ble, Best Boy Athlete. “Matty” enjoys ( ?) physics and geometry; prefers bru¬ nettes; may be found dashing on the basketball court, smash¬ ing on the gridiron, or flash¬ ing on the diamond, according to the season, but his native haunt is the Library. Clora Finch— Clory “So art lies hid by its own artifice.” Special Chorus (1-2); Fri¬ day Club (4); Dom Econ (2-3-4); Boys Week, Pat¬ tern Counter, Hills, Mc¬ Lean Haskins (4). Patient and persevering, Clora has made her school career enjoyable to herself as well as to her associates. Clora particularly excels in the “Home Arts” division of her school and home life where her cooking proves that good old motto, “the more you eat the more you want.” John Fowler “Much must he toil who serves the Immortal Gods” Orchestra (1-2); Band (1- 2-4); Special Chorus (4). John is a rather quiet fel¬ low—until he starts his cornet going. He is one of the teachers’ compensations. We feel sure that there is a little corner somewhere just waiting for John to fill after he leaves us. Page Thirty-three PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Sidney Friedlander —Sid Anna Feinstein Gerald Flaherty —Jerry “Jest and youthful jollity.” Orchestra (1-2); Swimming (3-4); Dramatics Class Play “Monsieur Beau- caire” (4). Humorist, dramatist and athlete, that’s Sid Friedlander. He’s the boy that wrinkled care derides.” When Sid de¬ cides to do something, he does it. He decided to graduate this term and although bur¬ dened with many extra hours of study, Sid ' s persevering nature carried him through. He will be entertaining him¬ self at Hamilton next term. “Thy modesty’s a candle to thy merit.” “What he wills he does.” Freshman Football (1), Varsity (3-4); Interclass Baseball (1-3-4), ' Varsity (3); Interclass Basket¬ ball (1-3); Congress (2); Boys Week. Commission¬ er of Public Safety (4). Found—A thinker, less a talker; a plugger, less a heavy¬ weight; an optimist, less a joker; an enthusiast, less a flatterer. (That’s Jerry on the job). Jerry received his appointment to the United States Military Academy at West Point in May. Bright of eyes, And black of hair Paradox So dark and fair. Snajjpy manner, Lively smile, Good companion All the while. Dudley Finch— Dud “A Gold-Finch of a Golden Character.” Orchestra (1-2-3); Drama¬ tic Class Plays, “Express¬ ing Willie” (3), “Ice¬ bound” (4), Ithaca 1st Prize Play. “Flattering Word” (4), “Winter Dust” (4); Alderman, Boys Week (3); Boys Week. Treasurer (4); Gold Key (4). Dud” never plays second fiddle when he starts out to do something. He goes about a task with eagerness and with the confidence that he will succeed. “Dud” makes friends of everyone he meets by his broad smile, his keen sense of humor, and calmness. Esther Finch “A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance.” Literary Club (2-3-4); Spec¬ ial Chorus (2). Dear Sir: June, 1927. We are pleased to recom¬ mend to you, in answer to your application, Esther Finch, a graduate of B. C. H. S. in 1927. She has a charming personality, good character, is dependable, and always cheer¬ ful. She has a way of in¬ spiring confidence that would be advantageous in such a business as yours. We ask that you grant Esther a per¬ sonal interview, after which we are sure you will agree that she is the one you want and need. Edmund Fahey— Fay “If the good die young ’Tis a wonder that he has survived this long.” Interclass Basketball (1-2- 3-4), Capt., (3); Congress (3); Junior Soccer (3), High Scorer Interclass League (4); Football Squad (4); Boys Week, Superintendent of Build¬ ings (4). Ed is that modest, hand¬ some, dark-haired young giant whom you see so often around the corridors. Ed is especially fond of the opposite sex but his extreme bashfulness forms a barrier which neither side can surmount. We know that he is bound to succeed. Page Thirty-four PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 i G. Perry Fisher— Par Gertrude Furman Daniel Foley —Dan “A cheerful grin will let you in. “ ’Tis well to be merrie and wise, ’Tis well to be honest and true.” “A man of sound principles and upright character.” Where the knocker is never known.” Perry is good-natured and persevering; has an adapta¬ bility for making friends and keeping them. Besides this, he is an all-round good sport. Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Friday Club (3-4); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (3-4); Glee Club (4). Gertrude is a person well worth knowing, a good student and a worth-while friend. She is a lover of fun but never forgets her duties and makes the best kind of chum. Her friends wish her all kinds of success in her business career. Chairman, Home Room (3); Boys Week, Commission¬ er of Charities (4). Daniel is a quiet, reserved fellow; a shark in French, a diligent worker, a good sport, and is very handy with his feet. He has encountered numerous obstacles in going through school, but has never¬ theless, been successful. Edward Grace— Ed “How much lies in laughter; the cipher-key, wherewith we decipher the whole man.” Orchestra (1); Congress Club (3-4); Tnterclass Basketball (4). ‘‘Ed” was a Latin student, not just the Latin pupil. Most of us would like to have this said of us, at least once in our lives. But besides this, “Ed” got along well in his other studies and made a real success of high school. Jeanette Germond —Jeanie “Diligence is the mother of good fortune.” A most lovable bit of fem¬ inine shyness, this is Jeanette. Her quiet voice and manner are a joy in this bustling world. Donald Goetcheus —Don “My hopes were homeless things before I saw your eyes.” Hi-Y (1-2-3-4). “Don” has taken his school life with the independence which is characteristic of him. He goes about his work in a quiet but effectual manner. He. like most of our present sheiks”, is often seen with one of the opposite sex. But this will soon wear off, and Don” will settle down to make a success in business. Page Thirty-five PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Judson George —Jud “A whiz on the violin.” Orchestra (1-2). Did you ever see one of Spaulding’s bakery trucks dashing along the highway at a pace of speed that exceeds the limit? If you have, you have probably seen “Jud” George, because he usually goes at about that pace. Some day we may read of “George’s Bakery—The Finest of Its Kind. LaMona Gaylord “Still in each heart of hearts a hidden deep Lies, never fathomed by its dearest best.” Interclass Basketball (1); Special Chorus (1); Inter¬ class Baseball (1-2). If I were asked, “Who’s Who’’ in High School, the first person I would name would be the young lady in the accompanying picture. La¬ Mona is one of our deep think¬ ers (especially in Chemistry), and how! When there is any fun on hand LaMona is on hand too. She has a smile that just won’t wipe off and a laugh—well, that just insists upon being heard anywhere, anytime. Cecile Griffin —Cee “That’s my girl!” Interclass Basketball 0-2- 3-4); Nature Study Club (1); Special Chorus (2); Friday Club (2-3-4), Ser- geant-at-Arms (2), Vice- Pres., (3), Pres., (4). Sunny hair, sunny eyes, sunny disposition, sunny smile, that’s Cecile! For the last year Cecile has been President of Friday Club. If you want to know what a favorite she really is, just ask one of the Friday Club girls! A regular fellow, a real sport, a true sportsman, a loyal supporter of her school, and anything else that’s good, is “Cee” per¬ sonified ! Burrill Gottry “The world is so full of a number of things I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.” Scholarship Insignia (1-2- 3-4); News Editor of Panorama (4); Gold Key (4); Honor Student (4); Boys Week, Citizens Bank (4). Is Burrill popular? Well, in his four years’ sojourn here, his pleasing personality, quiet confidence, and winning dis¬ position have gathered about him a whole army of friends Burrill is always spreading his good cheer with a ready smile for all. He steps “onward and upward” to Penn. Walter Grounsell —Walt Cross Country Team (2) ; Track Squad (2) ; Commis¬ sioner of Assessments, Boys Week (2), Commissioner of Public Works (3) ; Miler on Varsity Track Team (3) ; 3d Place, State Meet (3) ; 1st Place, Elmira-Bingo Meet (3) ; 1st Place, Cortland Meet (3) ; 1st Place, Section¬ al Meet, Binghamton (3) ; Student Representative, G. O. Council (3) ; Mile Race at Colgate; Interscholastic Meet May, 1925. Finished ten yds. behind “Bill” Cox, American Olympic Champion, who timed the mile at 4:26. Grounsell’s time was esti¬ mated at 4:30. Miles Gelatt —Smiles “A good foundation points toward success.” Festival Chorus (2-3-4); Orchestra (4). ' Tis best to have high aspir¬ ations but that is not all. Miles has both aspirations and ambitions. These coupled with his ability carry him far toward this world’s high places. Page Thirty-six PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Lucy Gage Hyman Gilinsky Helena Gruschwitz —Honey “She’s the apple of my eye.” “Knowledge comes but wis dom lingers.” “Style is the dress of thoughts.” Chamber of Commerce (2- 3-4); Friday Club (4). Here is a business-like little person who won many hearts during her four years in B. C. H. S. She finished her course in January and is now making a place for herself in the busi¬ ness world. Orchestra (1). For some time, Hyman, one of our best musicians, has been in the hospital. Graduation would not be quite complete without him, so he will be back to participate in the ac¬ tivities at the end of the year. Literary Club (2); Secre¬ tary of Home Room (4). Her name spells sweetness, as does her whole personality. She is quick, and alert, and always ready with the desired information about current af¬ fairs. “Honey” is an all around girl and we congratu¬ late her that she is to attend the University of Leipzic, Germany. Anne Gilinsky “Both friendly and cheerful, graceful and tall, Wise and witty, that’s Anne in all.” Basketball (1); Special Chorus (1); Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4). Although Anne left us in January to become “Some¬ body’s Stenog”, she surely has not been forgotten. You all remember her as the possessor of those bright, snappy eyes and dark hair. Anne believes in taking life easy, for all dur¬ ing her high school career she has passed all subjects with¬ out exerting much energy. But when it comes to sports she swings a mean hockey stick and tennis racket. Jerome Granger “Never Idle a Moment.” Jerome is the kind of work¬ er who will make a hit in the business world. He is always the same steadfast, ambitious, cheerful chap who never leaves a task undone. Size is not the thing that counts in the “big world” but ability, ability to master the job you have started. That’s Jerome. And as to size, when he gets in business he can fill any big man’s shoes. Ruth Gibbons— Gibby “It’s nice to be natural when you’re naturally nice.” Festival Chorus (1-2); Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4), Pres., (4); Friday Club (2-3-4): Auditorium Editor on Panorama (4). Ruth’s noted for her “notes” and her contagious giggle—• and when the music starts, try and keep her feet -still! You’ll always find her humming George Olsen’s latest. Merry blue eyes and dark curly hair—she’s a circle of friends all in herself. Page Thirty-seven PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Kenneth Greene— Ken “As many men, so many minds, every one his own way.” Question: There is a boy in our High School who is pleasant, agreeable, and an all-round good fellow. I think his first name is Ken¬ neth. How can I find out what his last name is? Answer: After a little in¬ quiry we have learned that his name is Kenneth Greene. Gale Hulett “Steady contribution fills the measure of success.” Nature Study Club (1); Boys Week, Erie Rail¬ road (4). Gale is a pleasant and lik¬ able fellow. This is proved by his smiling face and wide cir¬ cle of friends of which many are of the fairer sex. He is also very studious, generally being found facing an open Spanish book. In fact, he counts it a good fifth period lost when he cannot find a Spanish magazine to read. Add these attributes and you will have Gale wherever he may be. Reginald Hawley— Reg “Hi Ho the Derrio As Long As She Loves Me.” Freshman Basketball (1); Track (2-4); Swimming, Varsity, (2-3-4), Capt. (4); Football, Varsity and Varsity Squad (3-4); Congress (2-3); Sweater (4); Track, Blue Ribbon, 3rd Place, Hurdles, Gold Medal, 1st Place, 220-yd. Low Hurdles (4). “Reg” is a sheik on land and a shark in the water. Everyone has seen him daily wending his way toward the swimming pool. Step into the library any noon and see him at work (?). Weismuller will have to look to his laurels when Reg gets into the swim. Edith Hutchings— Ted “A jolly pal when all is gay, A tender pal when all is gray.” Literary Club (2-3-4); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Girls Glee Club (4); Boys Week, Hills, McLean Haskins, Mail Order Manager (4). During her stay in high school, you have probably no¬ ticed Edith sailing through the halls. She has sailed through High and will soon be at the helm steering some man’s bus¬ iness for him. Bon voyage, Ted. Dorothy Hotchkin —Dot “And you know what that means!” Literary Club (2-3); Inter¬ class Basketball (2); Dramatics Class Play, “A Woman’s Way” (3); “Ex¬ pressing Willie” (3);Lead in “Icebound” (4); Di¬ rector, Ithaca 1st Prize Play, “The Flattering Word” (4). When Dot’s serious it’s like April showers in June—only happens occasionally. She is the exception that proves the rule, “all is not gold that glit¬ ters.” May floods of laughter and rays of sunshine follow her I Mary Hryn “By the work, one knows the workman.” Chamber of Commerce (3- 4); Friday Club (3-4); Hills, McLean Haskins, Boys Week (4). A quiet, dependable, fun- loving girl who is always ready to do her share of the work—- that’s Mary. Her qualities are proving themselves as valuable in an office as they were in school. Mary has not for¬ gotten how to be a good friend, either. Page Thirty-eight PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 “A sweet, attractive kind of grace.” Rosamond is a rather un¬ assuming sort who, although she does not make a great deal of noise, is very well liked. Besides her regular course in school, she has given much attention to music in which field she is very suc¬ cessful. “Each mind hath its own methods.” Congress Club (1-2-3-4); Freshman Football (1); Interclass Basketball (2- 4); Baseball Situ ad (3); Alderman, Boys W eek (3); Junior Varsity Foot¬ ball (4); Boys Week, Superintendent of Ashes and G-arbage (i). One of high school’s disci¬ ples of athletics, high marks, and one-arm driving is Robert. He also has a specialty of catching passes in football, es¬ tablishing a record when he did this three times against St. “Pats”. Robert possesses many fine qualities, determina¬ tion, honesty, and loyalty. —Dot “Those Eyes—and how!” Basketball (1-3); Varsity Basketball (2); Sopho¬ more Tennis (2); Literary Club (2-3); Hockey (3); Varsity Tennis (3); In¬ tra-Mural Award (3); Manager Junior Tennis (3) ; Awards Committee (4) . “Dot” is one of the friend¬ liest persons we know. She has a sparkling personality, cheery enthusiasm, and never- failing courtesy and kindness. The same sympathetic service given here will assure her suc¬ cess in other fields. Alvan Hall —Al “Herein do lie real qualities That go to make the man.” Special Chorus (1-4); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (3-4); Cheer Leader (4); Boys Glee Club (4); Male Quar¬ tette (4); Hi-Y (4); Boys Week, Hills, McLean Haskins (2-3), Credit Manager (4). Come on, everybody up. Rah! Rah! Rah! Doesn’t this sound familiar? Al” has been cheer leader during his Senior year. He has been ac¬ tive in the Boy’s Glee Club and the Quartette. Edwin Hall— Ed “The play’s the thing.” Hi-Y Club (2) ; Pan Reporter (2) ; Mgr. Varsity Baseball (2) ; Mgr. Ed., Boys Week Ed., Morning Sun, ’2 5, (2) ; Student Member G. O. Coun¬ cil (3) ; 2nd Harvard Con¬ test (tied) (3), 2nd (4) ; 2nd Meeker Contest (3) ; 1st Ithaca State-wide Contest (3) ; Asst. Bus. Mgr. Pan (3) ; Secy. G. O. (4); 1st Weeks Contest (4) ; Lead in “A Woman’s Way” (4) ; Lead, “The Flattering Word” (4) ; “Icebound” (4) ; “Win¬ ter Dust” (4) ; Varsity El¬ mira Debate Team (4) ; Gold Key (4) ; Mayor, Boys Week, 1926 (4), City Judge, 1927, (4) ; Class Day Orator (4). Carl Holcomb “It is excellent to have a giant’s strength.” Nature Study Club (1); Festival Chorus (2 3-4); Hi-Y (3-4); Congress Club (4); “Icebound” (4). “Faith can remove moun¬ tains” is a saying, but it is our belief that Carl could just as easily do the work. Strong? —that’s it! And he has a philosophy quite refreshing. Money? “Well, there’s no sense in worrying about it,” he says. Discouragement crouch¬ es into shadows when Carl strides into the open spaces. When that power of strength strikes Syracuse Chemical Engineering, there’s going to be another battle won. Page Thirty-nine PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Stuart Horton “Who mixed reason with pleasure and wisdom with mirth.” Hi-Y Club (2-3-4), Treas¬ urer (3). We are sure that Stuart’s favorite song must be “Char¬ ley is My Darling.” In all seriousness, though, Stuart is a persevering and industrious fellow. This is evidenced by the fact that since his grad¬ uation in January he has en¬ tered the business world, fol¬ lowing his father’s footsteps. It won’t take him long to learn the “inside” on insurance, and then his Dad will be in danger of losing a good position. Martha Hand —Mart “A countenance in which did meet Sweet records, promises as sweet.” Public Speaking- (1-2); In¬ terclass Hockey (3); In¬ terclass Baseball (3). A friend when a friend is needed, a pal on all occasions, that’s Mart. Martha is not only an all-around good sport but also a good student. Al¬ though you have not seen “Mart” in the limelight dur¬ ing her high school course, B. C. H. S. will have lost another good student when she goe? to Goucher. Ira Hyde —Ike “Look beneath the surface.” Nature Study Club (1); Special Chorus (1-2); Scholarship Award (2- 4 ) ; Congress (3-4); Hi-Y (4); President, 305, (4); Honor Student (4); Class Nota¬ ble, Noisiest Boy. Class notables! Sure hit you right, Ike. Noisiest? Nothing ever so appropriate. But let’s look again—beneath the sur¬ face as it said. Now we know where R. L. Stevenson got his idea for “Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde” We like such a sur¬ prising combination of pro¬ foundness and joviality. You have got a double chance— no chance to lose.—Bang!— and he’s gone again. William Hogan —Bill “Cannon-balls may aid the truth, But thought’s a weapon stronger.” Interclass Basketball (2). To see William Hogan in English class you just know he is a thinker. Should he but speak, our better selves would be overcast. For our sakes and for the good of your fellow classmates next year at Notre Dame Univer¬ sity, you better keep that pro¬ found silence of yours, Wil¬ liam. “A thing of beauty is a joy forever; Its loveliness increases; it will never Pass into nothingness.” Literary Club (2-3-4); Representative, Home- School Assn., (3-4); Dra¬ matics Class Play “Ex¬ pressing Willie”, Lead, (3); “Winter Dust” (4); Dramatics Award (3-4); Director of Ithaca Prize Play “Step-Mother” (3); Vice-Pres. of Class (3); G. O. Delegate (4); Class Notable, Prettiest Girl. Search as you will, you’ll never find another Mary with quite the delightful qualities that “Our Mary” has. Newman Hagopian —Bat “Today whatever may annoy The word for me is Joy, just simple Joy.” Track (3-4), Letter (3), Sil¬ ver Ribbon, 2nd Place, Pole Vault (4), Gold Medal, 1st Place, Pole Vault (4), Gold Medal. 1st Place, Broad Jump (4). The jovial countenance of Newm” is going from these halls of learning in search of fields of wider scope. We have enjoyed his four years with us nearly as much as he has, if that is possible, for “Newm” seems to have had a mighty fine time. P Mary ENNESSEY Page Forty PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Ruth Hinchman “Play up, play up, and play the game.” Interclass Hockey t ‘I-4): Interclass Basketball IS); Swimming’ Team (4). In every activity one will find Ruth following this quo¬ tation closely. She is always sought after by the athletic teams for this very reason. Ruth takes a great interest in interclass sports. Perhaps the fact that Ruth has won her Golden Eagle badge in the Girl Scouts is an indication of this quality. Ruth is an all-around good scout. Florence Hull— Red She looks like a flapper And acts like one too. But you never can tell What this flapper might do.” Nature SJtudy Club (1); Festival Chorus (1-2); Friday Club (3-4), Ser- geant-at-Arms (3-4); Boys Week, Hills, Mc¬ Lean Haskins, Adver¬ tising Committee (4). Florence is the kind of girl whose personality shines forth in every act. She is full of fun and loves a good time—but then who doesn’t? She’s not only a good student, but a talented and promising young artist. We just know that she will succeed. Henry Hess— Hank HHappy-go-lucky, and a little fat, But a good scout for a ' that.” Freshman Basketball Mgr.; Freshman Baseball; Freshman Basketball; Sophomore Swimming; Junior Varsity Football; President Home Room (4); Class Basketball (2- 3-4). Henry knows everyone and everyone knows him. He should have been elected best natured boy of the class but, by some mischance, he did not receive the honor. Doris Hutchings —Squeek “Not all the ‘Squeeks’ in the world are disagree¬ able.” Literary Club (2-3-4); Chamber of Commerce (4); Boys Week, Hills, McLean Haskins, Head Silverware Counter (4). Just to prove it, here’s one. If you know her, you will agree—if you don’t know her, you don’t know much.” How¬ ever, Doris does other things besides “squeek.” Just give her a pad and pencil, or a typewriter, and watch her work. She expects to be a good and faithful servant to some business man soon. Wyliia Hawley —-Wy “With sunny smile and pep galore, When ‘Wy’ becomes a nurse Her patients will refuse to leave Until they call a hearse.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4) Perfect Attendance (1-2- 3-4); Chamber of Com¬ merce (2-3-4); Friday Club (3-4); Girls Glee Club (4); Boys Week, Hills, McLean Haskins, Office Assistant (4). After four years in the Com¬ mercial Dept. Wy” expects to train for nursing. We know she will succeed in her chosen profession. Marguerite Houston “As merry as the day is long.” Scholarship (1-2-3-4); Scholarship Award (2); I A terary ' 1 u b (3-4); Chamber of Commerce (4); Honor Student (4). The above quotation may be old but it suits Marguerite to a T. She is one of those lucky persons who are always happy. At least, I’ve never found Mar¬ guerite otherwise, have you? She graduates from the college course (Latin, French, Physics, you know the rest). Easy, isn’t it? Yet Marguerite never allowed that to daunt her merry soul. Page Forty-one PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Evelyn Hagman “Your heart’s desires be with you!” Friday Club (3-4); Special Chorus (3-4) ; Hockey (4). Evelyn has laughed her happy way through school making friends by being one. She’s the girl that helped the Senior team shove the ball over the line for the hockey championship. We surely envy Cortland Normal the honor of having Evelyn among the Freshman numbers next fall. Clarence Hammond “Fame is a bubble, but it ' s just as well if someone else does your blowing.” Freshman Football (1); Football Squad (2-3-4) Tnterclass Basketball (2- 3) ; Varsity Swimming (3- 4) ; Track Squad (4); Special Chorus (4); Boys Week. Superintendent of Water AVorks (4). A smile that’s broad A heart that’s glad.— Who has not heard O’ this smart lad ? His cheery words. And the deeds he did,— ’Nuf sed ! So long, old kid! Lloyd Hartman “With such a comrade, such a friend, 1 feign would walk till journey’s end.” Scholarship Award (2); Congress (3); Boys Glee Club (4); G. O. Council (4); Honor Student (4). Lloyd’s a natural born good scout and is one of those fel¬ lows on whom you can de¬ pend to be at the right place, at the right time, and doing the right thing. Roger Hayes “It matters not how a man dies, but how he lives.” Congress Club (2-3); Hi-A ' Club f4). Roger is a merry, light¬ hearted optimist. Living up to his reputation, the bright side of life only appeals to him. Outside of studies, he devotes himself to basketball, aquatics, and the “Y”. Who isn’t ready with a grin when Roger shows up? Elaine Hitchcock “Sweet are the rewards for tasks well done.” Special Chorus (1-2); Schol¬ arship Insignia (3); Gold Key (4); Interclass Bas¬ ketball (4); Honor Stu¬ dent (4). Sincere, sympathetic and sweet. Elaine works quietly but with extraordinary suc¬ cess. With her ever-ready good will she has won many friends who will miss her very much. We are sure that she will succeed at Albany State. Raymond Horton— Ray “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.” Special Chorus (4); New York Times Oratorical Contest (4); Boys Week, Director of Chamber of Commerce (4). “Ray” is a real public speak¬ er. a real worker and a real friend. Three in one! He has already made a name for himself in journalism on the staff of the “Sun”. He has advanced far in his public speaking and debate, and has thus obtained what every one desires, the ability to speak. Page Forty-two PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Mildred Hendrickson “Success is one per cent in¬ spiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.” You never see Mildred rush¬ ing around the corridors as if she were going to a fire. She never seems to hurry but she gets there just the same. Some fortunate employer will have her for his stenographer after she graduates. John Jennings— Johnny One thing is forever good; that one thing is Success.” President of Nature Study Club (1); Boys Week, City National Bank (4). John’s popular with both boys and girls. Although we haven ' t heard much from him the honor roll shows that he’s been busy. John hasn’t yet decided what to do when he graduates. Gladys Joyner— Joyner “She that was ever fair and never proud, Had tongue at will, and yet was never loud.” Chamber of Commerce (2- .2-4). Now, I ask you, how could you picture a girl with a name like that—Glad(ys) Joy(ner)? Gladys’ four successful years in B. C. H. S. ended in Jan¬ uary. Now she is continuing her good work in Hills’ office. Paul Johnson “By music winds an equal temper know Nor swell too high nor sink too low.” East High School, Cleve¬ land, Ohio, (1-2); Band (3-4); Orchestra (4). Paul has been with us only a year and a half, having come from Cleveland, Ohio, during his Junior year. However he has been in B. C. H. S. long enough to make many friends who can readily testify to his all-around worth. We are sure that Cleveland’s loss was Bing¬ hamton’ gain. Raymond Jarvis— Jerry “It runs in the family.” Track, 3 Numerals, (4); Manager at Sissons, Boys Week (3); Boys Week, Chenango Valley Bank (4). Silently plugging along, day by day. Nary a worry turns him away. Just a great pal. Faithful to all, A loyal son of B. C. H. S.: But when he’s gone we’ll miss him. It’s the way of the world,—I guess. Walter King— Walt “It is not enough to do good; one must do it the right way.” Scholarship (3); Capt. of Upper-class Speedball Team (3); Interclass Soc¬ cer (4); Swimming (4); Congress Club (4); Boys Week, Secretary, Cham¬ ber of Commerce (4); Congress Play, “Helena’s Husband” (4); Track (4); Honor Student (4). Besides gaining an average of G plus or more for his four years’ work, one may see that “Walt” has also gained some share of prominence along other lines than studies. With so much ambition how can he help but succeed ? Page Forty-three PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 William Kessler— Bill George King Rexford Kinney “Excelsior!” Assistant Manager Track (2); Boys Week, Aider- man (4); Honor Student (1-2-3-4); Class Notable, Corridor Blocker. Gaze on one of the honor students of the Class of ’27. He is no other than “little” William Kessler. During his four years in B. C. H. S.., Bill has attained one outstanding thing, yes, very much so, be¬ cause only one in the entire class surpasses him, and that the timid and mild looking youth pictured here is no less than 6 ft. 3 in., and he has not stopped growing yet. Bill goes to Hamilton college next fall. “What do you do on 44, pal?” Football Squad (1-2-3-4); Baseball Squad (1-2); Basketball (1-2-4); Var¬ sity Track (3-4), Yellow Itibbon, Contestant in 1st Place Relay Team; Bronze Medal, 3rd Place, 880-yd. Dash (4); Home Room Delegate 105 (4); Class Notable, Handsom¬ est Boy; Boys Week, Al¬ derman (4). Handsome, bashful, artistic, scholastic, and athletic—well, that’s George all over. He took school life as a business, and in his characteristic busi¬ ness-like manner, “he went over big.” —Reekie “Smooth? and How!” Freshman Basketball (1); Hi-Y (2); Boys Week, Brie Railroad (4). Reekie is the incarnation of Piccadilly Square and Bond Street. His reputation as the smoothest boy in the Senior Class is not based solely on his clothes and manner, but his good disposition and pleas¬ ing personality which have won for him many friends from “both sides of the house.” We hear he is going to New York to further his ed¬ ucation. Bertha Kessler— Bert ! “Whoa! !” i Scholarship Insignia (2); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Honor Student (4); [5,0-Word Underwood Cer¬ tificate (4); Boys Week, •.Hills, McLean Haskins, Office Assistant (4); Gold ; Key (4). We feel like saying that to Bertha, especially when she gives her History book reports. Bertha hasn’t been with us long enough to find out her middle-name, but we should guess it is “Speed”. Every¬ thing she-does is done “quick as a flash”. Certainly the man who employs Bertha as his stenographer will have a jewel. John Kelley— Jack “His shining glory resem- bleth the morning sun¬ beam.” Hi-Y (1-2-3-4); Freshman Basketball (1); Asst. Mgr. Football (2); Pres. Board of Education, Boys Week (2) ; Treas., Junior Class (3) ; Boys Debate (3-4); Dramatics Class Play, “A Woman’s Way” (3); Chief of Police, Boys Week (3- 4); Asst. Bus. Mgr., Pano¬ rama (3), Reporter (4); Secy., Senior Class (4); Secy., G. O. (4); Honor Student (4); Perfect At¬ tendance (1-2-3-4). Jack possesses that attrac¬ tive personality which makes friends wherever he goes. Mildred Keane— Mil “A good heart is better than all the riches in the world.” Special Chorus (1); Nature Study Club ( 1 ); Literary Club (3-4); Chamber of Commerce (4). Mildred is a girl who wins a corner for herself in the hearts of all whom she meets. We wish her success at Wells and know that her pleasant manner and willingness to help others will bring it to her. Page. Fortyrfour PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Ruth Kelsey— Kelsey Ellen Kenney Anne “Good things come in small packages.” Scholarship (2); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Inter¬ class Basketball (4); In¬ terclass Hockey (4); In¬ terclass Baseball (4). This year’s class proves the truth of this old saying. Ellen Kenney is the small package, but being active in hockey and baseball as well as in les¬ sons she has clung to her good work and is now one of the graduates of 1927. “Annie of Tharau, my riches, my good, Thou, O my soul, my flesh, and my blood.” Literary Club (2-3); Schol¬ arship Insignia (2); Ten¬ nis Team (2); Swimming (2); Class Notable, Best Girl Dancer (4). We’re all crazy about Anne Knapp. Why? Because she’s pretty, a good friend and lots of fun. We surely envy Mount Holyoke next year, and what we’ll do without her, is so far an unsolved problem. “She did the work she found , to do.” Girls Vigilance Committee (1); Nature Study. Club (1); Special Chorus (1); Literary Club (1-2-3-4), Vice-Pres., (4); Scholar¬ ship Insignia (2-3); Jun¬ ior Reporter, Panorama (3) , Alumni Editor -,(4); Senior Clas Hockey (4); 105 Home Room President (4) ; Vice-Pres., Senior Class (4); Boys Week, Hills, McLean Haskins, Office Manager (4); Hon¬ or Student (4). A rare combination of thoughtfulness, amiability, and capability, plus common sgnse - that’s Ruth Kelsey. Carl Krissel— Kris Lewis Kadleck —-Frex James Paul Landre “The fellow with a winning smile conquers.” Interclass Basketball (2); Binghamton Skating and Hockey Club (4). Kris is not “high, high up in the hills, watching the clouds roll by,” but down among the bunch with a will¬ ing push. When not playing basketball or skating you will find him always ready to get behind the gang. Carl is leaving us in the fall to go to Schenectady to become “Ed¬ ison’s rival.” “Happiness herein doth dwell.” Interclass Baseball • (1-4); Interclass Basketball (2- 3-4); Junior Varsity Football f 2); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Dept. Head, Boys ' ■Day (3); Mdse. Mgr.. Boys Day. Hills, McLean ' Haskins (4); Class Notable, Best Natured Boy (4). Lewis needs no introduction to the majority of us. “The Best Natured Boy of the Class of 1927” describes him so well that it is needless to say.Tnore. Too bad to see you leave. Lewis, but we know you’ll succeed. “A trifle tall, a friend of all.” Tnterclasa Basketball (2-3- 4); Varsity (4); Scholar¬ ship (3-4); Track Squad (3); Congress Club (4); Treas.. Senior Class (4); Boys Week, Board of Ed¬ ucation (4); Honor .Stu¬ dent (4). A little fun, A little puh. He studies right. With all his might. Play basketball ? A shark, that’s all. That’s Paul. And I should have said before His motto is “Excelsior.” Page Forty-five 1 PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 ‘l Helen Larrabee Margaret Lott Celia Levene— Ceil “Speech is great; but silence is greater.” Literary Club (2-3-4); Class Notable, Most Bashful Girl (4). Perhaps many of us don’t know Helen but a few of us do, and all who know her, like her. She never wastes any words unnecessarily, but when she feels called upon to speak, she says something to the point—and she does a lot of thinking behind her impassivi¬ ty and placidity. Helen—we like you. “Joy comes, grief goes, we know not how.” Literary Club (2-3); Class Notable, Giggler (4). And yet if we had only stopped to think, we should have known sans doute, why grief sped far off when Lottie approached. Her merry chuckle can cheer anyone. Keep up the happy mission, Lottie. “Small, but how dear to us.” Orchestra (1-2-3-4); Nature Study Club (1); Special Chorus (2-4); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Gold Key (4). Celia is about the best ex¬ ample of untiring energy that we know. Her willingness and faithfulness were shown in the orchestra. When the honor students were called to the platform, Celia was among them. Marion Lewis— Lewie “My happiness lies in doing deeds for others.” Special Chorus (1); Inter¬ class Basketball Mgr. (1); Varsity (2-3); Coach of Junior Basketball (3); Friday Club (3-4); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (4); Boys Week, Hills. Mc¬ Lean Haskins (4). Marion has been active in all sports since she came to B. C. H. S., but she chose bas¬ ketball as her specialty. Marion is one of those girls who are never too busy to help others when they need it. One cheering word from Marion is as good as a dose of any healing medicine. George Litell —Big Boy “May ye know him by his sound.” Band (1-2-3-4); Orchestra (1-2); Football (2); Gold Key (4). George believes in tooting his own horn. He has literally played his way through high school and he intends to play his way through life, at the head of a premier orchestra. He has started his Race of Life with a bound, leading the “Colonials”, one of the most syncopating. pulsating jazz orchestras of the Southern Tier. May his wind hold out with him until he breaks the tape. Ethlyn Little “To do my best and let it stand The record of my brain and hand.” Literary Club (1-3-4); St. Margaret’s High School. London, England, (2). If there is any characteris¬ tic more outstanding than an¬ other in Ethlyn, it is probably her reliability and high regard for any promises that she may make. She believes “A promise made is a debt unpaid”, and she lives up to the high stand¬ ard she has set for herself. She is a good student and al¬ ways tries to do justice to her studies and to herself as well.

Nuf Sed. “O happy pleasure! here to dwell, Beside thee in some earthly dell.” Dom Econ (2); Dom Econ Play (2); Friday Club (2- 3-4), Secy., (2); Interclass Basketball (2); Interclass Baseball (3). There goes Emelie— Sweetest little thing. My Emelie— Always talking, about George and other things. We know that she’s got good looks— And lots of charm. Loads of good friends, ’nuf to fill a farm. (I’ll tell you). Just Sweet Emelie to us. “Great deeds are wrought by perseverance.” Boys Week, Hills, McLean Haskins, Secretary- Treasurer (4). P--persevering E—earnest T—truthful E—enjoyable That is “Pete”. He has steadily and quietly plodded the corridors of this institution of learning for four years. He has not obtained crowning colors for brilliance or great deeds, but has prepared him¬ self for a life’s work with vir- 4iini tViof o no 1 o c ti n IT Joseph Lawrence— Joe Great thoughts like great deeds need no trumpet.” Lost: January 24, 1927, a six-foot boy of quiet dispo¬ sition and unassuming charac¬ ter. Reward, a high school diploma.,.. Found: Same boy. Reward to be .presented June 21. ' . (Iff Theresa Levy— Tessie “Say it with music.” Orchestra (1-2-3-4); Gold Key (4). Dashing down the corridor intent upon her destination, comes Theresa. Now what is her immediate destination ? Just one guess. 120? Right! Theresa and her flute are al¬ most inseparable. Haven’t you heard those melodious notes issuing from a flute in the or¬ chestra? That is Theresa’s flute. They shall be missed when they leave us. Ruth Lenrow “To those who know thee not, no words can paint.” Basketball f 1-2-3-44; Mgr. of Baseball (4); A wards Committee (4); Hockey (3); Scholarship Insignia (1); Honor Student (4). Folks with red hair always seem to be rather unique. Just for example, here’s Ruth. There surely is something un¬ usual about a girl who has such a mild, quiet and entirely lovable manner and yet can go out and make a big suc¬ cess at basketball, baseball, and hockey. Ruth’s smile alone has won her many silent admirers. Page Forty-seven PANORAMA ANNUA 1927 M arion Lynch Ruth Lynch Esther Martin “They only the victory win who have held to their faith unseduced by the prize that the world holds on high.” Chamber of Commerce (1- 2-3-4). Fame places the laurel wreath on overnight suc¬ cesses. and in the guise of rumor is fond of the unusual, though oftentimes unworthy of remark. She seems to slight the steady climber who dili¬ gently and conscientiously ac¬ complishes his daily task. If fickle fame seems to have passed you by, remember. Marion, you still have self- satisfaction, the noblest re¬ ward of work nobly done. “Sound of Vernal showers. On the twinkling grass. Rain-awakened flowers, All that ever was Joyous and clear and fresh Thy music doth surpass.” Accompanist, Chorus (1-2- 3-4); Orchestra (1-4); Glee Club (2-3-4); Spec¬ ial Chorus (4). How fittingly the above quo¬ tation describes Ruth Lynch’s playing as each student of B. C. H. S. can testify. Al¬ ways cheerful and willing to give of her talent, Ruth has been the accompanist for the orchestra, glee club, and chor¬ us during her four years at High. Best o’ luck Ruth, at New York University. “From her pathway of flow¬ ers that in springtime up¬ start, She walked the tenderer way into my heart.” Special Chorus (2-3-4); Girls’ Glee Club (4). A flash of bright laughter, A glint of dark curls, Here’s one in a million, A peach of a girl. She’s friendly; a real pal. The kind who won’t tire, That she’ll be successful. Is my earnest desire. Da vid Martin— Dave “Not a man of iron, but of live oak.” Track (1); Special Chorus (2-3-4); Lead in “The Mi¬ kado” (2); Boys Week, Children’s Court Judge (2); Scholarship Award (2-3); Boys Glee Club (3- 4); Boys Quartette (3); Lead in the “Prince of Pilsen” (3); Cheer Lead¬ er (4); Honor Student (4). If you are looking for a good all-around fellow, for an agreeable “pal”, for a student who has been a credit to B. C. H. S.—that’s Dave! If you don’t believe it just ask any¬ one who knows Dave and you will soon find out. Helen Meagher— Peg “Ho ho, ha ha, me too.” Friday Club (2-3-4), Ser- geant-at-Arms (2), Treas. (3-4); Interclass Basket¬ ball (2-3-4), Capt. (3-4); Interclass Baseball, Capt. (3-4); Interclass Hockey (3-4); Cheer-leader (3- 4); Home Room Chair¬ man (4); Friday Club Play (4); Boys Week, Hills, McLean Haskins, S?oda Fountain Lunch (4); Class Notable, Best Girl Athlete (4). Yes, that’s Peg! You can tell her by her laugh. You say she’s going to Cortland ? Best thing that ever happened to them up there! Jack Mitchell “You come upon him sud¬ denly. You cannot seek him out. He’s like a secret still un¬ heard And never noised about. Orchestra (1-2-3-4); Nature Study Club (1), Secy. (IB), Pres. (1A); Gold Key (4). Jack is one r of those quite unassuming lads who Is busy all the while, terribly serious about some things, and his school is one of them. Good luck to you. Jack. Keep up the old fight! Page Forty-eight % PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Jeferson Meagher -Jeff “This was the noblest Roman of them all.” Panorama Reporter (1); Asst. Bus. Mgr. (2), Assoc. Ed.

Senior Class (4) ; Val¬ edictorian (4) ; Class Nota¬ ble, Most Popular Boy (4). Elizabeth Mitchell —Betty “Little—but so is a ten dollar gold piece.” Special Chorus (1-2). Those who have become ac¬ quainted with “Betty” during her high school career greatly admire her sweet little ways plus her witty little sayings. Betty’s a rather quiet, re¬ served sort of a girl but a true friend and a “peach” of a good sport. Nelson McLoud— Mac “Worth makes the man.” Halstead High School (1- 2-3); Chamber of Com¬ merce, Boys Week (4); Junior Varsity Football Squad (4). Nelson McLoud, better known as “Mac”, came to us from Halstead High School, which he attended for three years. In the two years he has been with us, Mac” has become well known in athletic circles as a member of the “Fighting Junior Varsity.” If football brings out a man’s worth, we have reason for ex¬ pecting great things from “Mac” because he was always a real “sport.” Michael Maxian, Jr. —Mike “Life is short and care will come, So have a good time while you’re young.” Freshman Basketball; Skat¬ ing (1-2); Varsity Base¬ ball (2-3-4); Varsity Football (2). Letter (4); Swimming (3-4); Sweater (4); Boys Week, Comp¬ troller (4). For the benefit of any who have not seen or heard of Mike”, I am pleased to pre¬ sent “Mike” Maxian. This old school without “Mike” is going to be like a hole with- ready for anything from out a doughnut; he just has to be around to make it en¬ joyable. Paul McCormack “He wins the victory of en¬ durance born.” Interclass Football (1-2); Asst. News Editor, Pano¬ rama (4); Congress (4); Honor Student (4); Class Notable, Plugger (4). Paul has distinguished him¬ self for his diligent efforts, which have already marked him a successful student. His future career should prove eminently successful if he ap¬ plies the same degree of dili¬ gence to the real problems of life. Reba Marshall— Reeb “Always smiling, always cheerful.” Hockey (3); Swimming (3); Chamber of Commerce (3-4). Notice: A girl well liked; ready for anything from hockey to swimming; always smiling and a good scholar. Ever since she came to B. C. H. S. from a smaller high school three years ago she has made friends and held her own in all her classes, es¬ pecially French. She expects to go into training for a nurse. Page Forty-nine PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Charles Mosher —Chuck Margaret McNulty William Miller —Bill “Let knowledge grow from more to more.” New Milford High School (1); Orchestra (1); Boys Week, Sisson’s, Display Dept. (4). Charles goes about his work with an ease of manner and a determination to succeed. Charles has the same manner with fellow students, always doing his best to help them. His industry and perseverance will give him a fine start in the business world. “A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making every¬ thing in its vicinity fresh¬ en into smiles.” Special Chorus (2-4). Margaret is from the good old Irish stock, level-headed, quiet, and serene. But that which her friends most admire is her pleasant smile and her kind, loving heart. “Big things move slowly.” Boys Week, Hills, McLean Haskins, President (4). To everyone that knows Bill”, he is the easy going type that never seems to worry about lessons or any¬ thing else. Although “Bill” never worries about lessons he is an adept commercial stu¬ dent and will probably make a high mark in the commer¬ cial world. Horace Myers “And music of kind voices ever nigh.” Varsity Track Squad (2); Senior Reporter on Pan¬ orama (4); Special Chor- , us (4); Glee Club (4); Honor Student (4). Horace, the master of Latin. This means a great deal, for one who can really master Latin has exceptional ability. That naturally implies a long¬ faced, reserved young man but not so here. Myers can laugh as loud as any and enjoys it too. Horace also spends much time on music, for he has a voice worth listening to. He expects to enter Albany State College next fall. Morris Motz— Morrie “A steady, industrious lad.” Interclass Basketball (4). Morrie” has spent four happy years here and we can truly say we are sorry they are over. Although unher¬ alded, he is well known in all phases of school activity. He is always ready to help the other fellow, and is recognized as a “good sport.” His cheer¬ fulness and good sportsman¬ ship will aid him in future work. Good luck to you, “Morrie” 1 Clifford Mosher— Cliff “Faith can move mountains.” For a little fellow “Cliff’ ' sure can show the gang how to step around. He swings a mean racket and has what is called a mathematical mind. He sets a rapid pace in every¬ thing that he undertakes. Versatile, that’s Cliff. Page Fifty PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Walter Meaker— Walt “He lives to build not boast.” Special Chorus (2); Track Squad (2-3). Walt” has gained some fame in the distance runs on the track. In other respects also, he is a credit to the school for he is industrious and faithful. “Walt” has high ideals and wherever he goes his ideals go with him. Dolores Mineka— Dodo “The mildest manners with the bravest mind.” Friday Club (2-3-4), Secy. (3); Disinger Contest, 2d Prize (2), 3d Prize (3); Civic Club Debate, Lead¬ er (3); Girls Varsity De¬ bate (3); Panorama Assistant News Editor (3), Assistant Exchange Editor (4); Debate Award (3) ; Honor Student (4); Weeks Contest, 1st Prize (4) ; Scholarship Award (4); Member Awards Committee (4); Gold Key (4); Home Room Dele¬ gate to G. O. Council (4). She is quiet, never complain¬ ing, never objecting, and al¬ ways with a smile. George Majercik —Muggsy “Good at a fight, Better at a play.” Interclass Football (1); Varsity Football (2-3-4), All-State Halfback, 1926, (4); Interclass Basket¬ ball (2). All-American halfback—next stop! George is a boy admired by two classes of people, those who know him personally, and those who know his ability. Those who know him person¬ ally find in him a jolly com¬ panion and a true friend in every way. Those who saw him play football are the other class—they know his ability. William McGinnis —Bill “There’s always a chance for an argument.” It was down in 105, When up spoke little Bill, “Why do you say ‘books give us knowledge’. When we have to take it from them ?” Georgia Murphy “A day for toil, an hour for sport. But for a friend is life too short.” Basketball (3-4); Baseball (3-4); Hockey (3-4); Special Chorus (3). The story of Georgia Mur¬ phy certainly proves that there is some good in work. For two years she was merely an enthusiastic scrub, a fair scholar, and a just-a-girl. Now she has been one of the best forwards on the Senior team in both Hockey and Basket¬ ball ; a good scholar, and a friend of many who, since they appreciate her sterling quali¬ ties know she will have the best of luck at Normal School. Charles Morgan —Chuck Go West my lad, go West, Out where that big hat of yours fits best.” Although not noted as a manager, captain, or editor he has filled his place in the life of our school. Even though he insists that he dislikes to study, he always seems to pro¬ duce an opposite effect.

A girl with an ever-ready smile- -that’s Dorice. Quiet? Yes, but in spite of that, her cheerfulness has won her many friends. Dorice is sure to be successful wherever she goes. Joseph Normile— Joe “His heart is as broad as his smile.” Freshman Basketball; Var¬ sity (2-3-4); Freshman Baseball; Congress (2-3- 4), Treasurer (3); Tennis (2-3-4); Chamber of Com¬ merce (3); Class Secre¬ tary (3); Boys Week, Board of Education (4); Class Notable, Most Apt to be Successful (4). He’s got a “three-in-one” character, Joe has. Athletic, cheerful, and brainy are all synonomous with “Joe” Nor¬ mile. It’s like lifting the cor¬ nerstone to let Joe out but we’ll just assure the world that he will produce the goods when called on. Sheila Nelson “Ring Out Wiia Bells.” Literary Club (2-3-4); Dra¬ matics Class Plays, “A Woman’s Way” (3), Asst. Director, Ithaca Prize Play, “The Step-Mother” (3) , “Icebound” (4), “Winter Dust” (4), Ithaca 1st Prize Play, “The Flat¬ tering Word” (4); 1st Prize Disinger Contest (4) ; Class Day Officer, Testator (4). The essence of youth and the understanding of age lend their combination to her make¬ up. Forever a seeker of the unusual, forever an attainer of success. May it ever be thus. Gladys Oliver ■ ? ■ £ A-fil ■ - ! A v ' ? Arthur O’Neil —Art Leslie Newton— Les “Haste makes waste.” During his sojour n with us, Leslie was a plodder. He rel¬ ished Algebra with German as a. “Side dish” (?). He left us in.. January. Stick to your plodding, “Les”! “I’ll warrant her heart- whole.” Literary Club (2-3-4); Ten¬ nis (2); Honor Student (4). Although Gladys came late to B. C. H. S., she has made herself a very necessary part of bur life. She is pleasant and friendly, as independent as can be in her thoughts and not afraid to give vent to them. “Ready for work, ready for play, A jolly good fellow in every way.” Interclass Baseball (4); Chamber of Commerce, President (4); Boys Week, Superintendent of Sewers (4). “Art” is a conscientious worker, a baseball wizard =and a great lover of all sports. He is one of the few valued “fel¬ low” members of the Com¬ mercial Department and for the last term has been suc¬ cessfully wielding the gavel at the Chamber of Commerce meetings. Page ‘Fifty-two PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Nellie O’Dell Daisy Ostrander Howard Preston “Our todays and yesterdays Are the blocks with which we build.” Johnson City High (1-2-3); Glee Club (1); Girls In¬ terclass Track (3). Although Nellie has been here only a short time, she has come to be one of us. Her sunny disposition and “ready to act” manner have brought her many friends. Her former three and a half years were spent at J. C. High and her friends there will miss her from their class. However, B. C. H. S. welcomes her to the Class of ' 27. If we’re not mis¬ taken Nellie is interested in Designing and Art. “Banking’s my hobby.” Chamber of Commerce (4); Boys Week, Hills, Mc¬ Lean Haskins, Leather Goods Counter (4). Do you know a rather tall girl with light yellow hair? That ' s Daisy. You’ll miss her in Chamber of Commerce, after June. The Commercial classes will miss her too, for she has done her work faith¬ fully. But never mind, you will probably see her in one of the city banks, so cheer up. “Oh give me hills to climb. And strength for climbing.” Howard’s school days were started in Schenevus, N. Y., and after spending nine years in the schools of that Village, he honored B. C. H. S. with his presence. Although not an outstanding figure in any par¬ ticular school activity, he has been a staunch supporter of his Alma Mater. His pleasant manner and good natured smile will be long remembered by his classmates. Either an Engineering School or the commercial world will claim Howard next fall. Clarence Prythercij —Pruck “Give me my Franklin, a smooth road, and plenty of gas!” Swimming (1-2-3-4); Fresh¬ man Basketball; Hi-Y Club (1); Alderman of Third Ward, Boys Week (3) ; Track, 440-yd. Relay, (4) ; City Engineer, Boys Week (4); Treas., Home Room 105 (4). That quotation sounds like Clarence, for the cares of life rest lightly upon his shoulders. When he isn’t driving, Pruck is swimming (conditions per¬ mitting) and he has a reputa¬ tion far and wide as a life guard. He goes to the Uni¬ versity of Pennsylvania. Miriam Prytherch “An unusual name, and an unusual person.” Scholarship (1-2-3-4); Lit¬ erary Club (3-4); Gold Key (4); Third High Honor Student (4). Yes, the name is unusual but not so unfamiliar at B. C. H. S. Miriam has captured 3rd Honor in her class. The fortunate people who are ac¬ quainted with Miriam know how modest she is about all her E pluses. She even earned them in Fourth Year Latin. You see, Miriam has a dozen brothers and sisters. She is one of our really exceptional girls. Marcus Prytherch —Mark “Keep the Home Fires Burning.” Freshman Basketball (1); Junior Hi-Y - (1); Hi-Y (2-3-4); Asst. Mgr. Bas¬ ketball (2); Track Squad (3), Team (4); Boys Week, First National Bank (4). “Mark” is that kind of friend who is there when you want him. Where would we be without the boys who turn out for the teams and stick by them to the end ? The back¬ bone of the school—we call it. He plans to enter Mass. Insti¬ tute of Technology in the fall. Behold—the future engineer. Page Fifty-three i PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Arlene Powell— Polly “There’s something nice about everyone, but there is everything nice about you.” Scholarship Insignia (1-2); Hockey (2-3); Interclass Baseball (3); Interclass Basketball, Mgr., (4); Friday Club (3-4); Girls Glee Club (3-4); Com¬ pleted Course in 3i Years; Gold Key (4); Honor Student (4). Who’s that girl who made high school in 3J years? Who helped the Senior team on to victory this last term? Who is an all around sport and a real pal ? Why, Arlene, of course. Norval Platt— Nome “Diligence and good-nature go hand and hand to suc¬ cess.” Boys Week, Baumann’s Office (4). “Norve” and good-nature seem to always pal around to¬ gether. If you know “Norve” you are that much better off, if not, you have missed a great deal. Those who have watched the honor roll are never sur¬ prised to see that name “Nor- val Platt” because he seldom fails to have it there. Helen Parry “A good sport, a fine gal. An old pal, that’s Parry.” Biterary Club (1-2-3-4); Interclass Basketball (1- 2-3), Capt. (3); Varsity Basketball (2); Inter- class Hockey (2-3-4), Capt. (2); Inetrclass Baseball (3-4); Intra- Mural Better, 3rd Year. Parry is the kind of girl of whom we need more. I won¬ der how many cracks on the shins her hockey team-mates have received watching her make a “crack” shot? Maybe she’s just doing it to be sure of patients next year, for she’s to be a nurse. Gertrude Pierson —Gertie “A friend in nee d is a friend indeed.” Dom Econ (3-4); Chamber of Commerce (4); Boys Week, Hills, McBean Haskins, Head of Bin- gerie (4). Gertrude is always ready to lend a helping hand. Not only is she “a friend in need”, but “a friend in a good time” as well. She has avoided the limelight, but has gladly worked to place others there. Her four years have been quietly but profitably spent. Geraldine Perella —Jerry “Five foot two.” Interclass Basketball (2-3); Interclass Hockey (2-3); Friday Club (2-3-4); Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4); Interclass Base¬ ball (3-4). “Jerry’s” small, but don’t be deceived. Her agility has made her the life of every team she’s been on and that’s no small number. If individ¬ uality is an art, then “Jerry” is of a truly artistic temper¬ ament. Rose Anna Quinlivan -—Pody “She wears the ‘Rose’ of youth upon her.” Hockey Team (3). A friendship that makes the least noise is very often the most useful for which reason I . should prefer a prudent friend to a zealous one. Here’s a girl who lives up to her name. When we think of a rose, we think of something nice ’n sweet ’n pretty,—and that’s what Rose j . A girl you’re glad to call “friend.” Page Fifty-four PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Ruth (Juick Qu “The mildest manners and the gentlest heart.” Literary Club (3-4). And now you will have your chance to satisfy that ever¬ lasting desire, Ruth! When you get into a white starched di-ess and cap, running down the corridor to get someone a lemonade, you’ll feel at last contented and so will those around you. We’re sure that nursing will agree with you. Israel Rozefsky “So quiet, so distant, but yet so sincere.” Scholarship (1); Boys Week Official (2); Student Council (3); Honor Stu¬ dent (4); Boys Week, Credit Dept., Sissons (4); Graduated in 3J Years. Israel is one student whose scholastic standings we envy. His untiring efforts have not passed by us unnoticed. No, he was not born in Spain, al¬ though most of us are in¬ clined to believe so by his fluent Spanish. Edward Quilter— Ed “Wit and wisdom are born with a man.” Orchestra (1-2-3-4) ; Congress (2-3-4), Secy. (3), Vice- Pres., (4) ; Pres, of G. O. (4) ; Basketball Mgr. (4) ; Sports Editor, Pan, (4) ; Class Prophet (4) ; Class Notable, Most Original (4) ; Gold Key (4) ; Honor Stu¬ dent (4). “Ed”—where haven’t we heard that name before. It is indispensible when one speaks of sjiirit, fight, trouble, fun, G. 0., 305 or a derby hat. Ed is the kind of guy that fellows (and femmes) laugh with, not at. And when it comes to work, he’s a regular Man Friday”. Ed, why doncha be a P. G. ? Jacob Ryerson— Jake “Industry Wins.” Nature Study Club (1); De¬ bate Club (1); Official Room Officer (1); Junior Arista (2), in New York City; Boy? Week, Erie Railroad (4). If one can believe signs the above is true, for “Jake” surely is industrious. His smiling face is usually more or less buried in a book although he is often seen dashing for 105 or 106 in an endless pursuit of “X”. Jake’s good sports¬ manship has made him popu¬ lar among the boys and his good looks and scholastic ability do not hinder in any way his popularity on the other side of the house. Helen Ring— lied “Sweet personality—full of rascality.” Special Chorus (1-2); Fri¬ day Club (2-3-4); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (2-3-4), Sergeant-at-Arms (2-4); Boys Week, Chamber of Commerce Office (4). Helen, otherwise known as Red”, is a girl who is always ready to lend a helping hand. We are sorry to see Helen leave school, for the corridors will seem gloomy without hex- sunny smile. Max Reynolds— Max “It’s always fair weather when good fellows get to¬ gether.” Congress Club (1-2-3-4); Delegate to G. O. from 202 (4). When a fellow is chosen in his Fx-eshman year to be a member of Congress Club, it is either because he is vei-y popular or vei-y bi-illiant. Far be it from us to accuse “Max” of being brilliant, but we do claim for him unusual popu- lai-ity. Being a member of Congress Club and having a marked personality he has gained new fi-iends at every turn. Page Fifty-flv.e PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Dorothy Rubinowitch —Dot “She doesn’t seem to worry, She’s never in a hurry. But she gets there just the same.” Special Chorus (1-4); Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4); Boys Week, Hills, McLean Haskins, Leather Goods Counter (4). Assets: Many friends, wis¬ dom, carefreeness, winning way, friendly smile, knowledge. Liabilities: Debts to the teachers. Capital: Dot Rubinowitch c a Profit—Four years ending 1927. Just a girl you can’t forget. Julia Rose— Judy “Somebody said that it couldn’t be done But she with a chuckle re¬ plied That maybe it couldn’t—but she would be one Who wouldn’t say so till she tried.” Honor Student (4). If you haven’t been in Julia’s classes, perhaps you won’t know much about her. She hasn’t had time for out¬ side school activities because she has worked her way through school entirely un¬ aided—but scnool is her real business, as it ought to be, and she’s the president of the firm. Ernest Rano —Ernie “I am in earnest.” Freshman Basketball; Var¬ sity Squad (2-3), Varsity (4); Baseball Squad (2), Varsity (3-4); Soccer (3- 4). “Ernie” is rather quiet, but somehow you always know he’s there. He has been a valued member of our basketball team and one of our notables on the baseball team. Wher¬ ever you find “Ernie”, you’ll find friendship and wherever you find friendship that’s where you want to be. Mary Lilla Reynolds “Silence sweeter is than speech.” It takes considerable in¬ genuity to become acquainted with Lilia but after you do, it is worth it. Lilia expects to go to college where we know success is waiting for her. Ruth Robertson “We are not here to play, to dream, to drift.” Scholarship Insignia (2); Special Chorus (4); Hon¬ or Student (4). Ruth is a demure little creature. She is a girl who believes sincerely in the old adage, “Children must be seen but not heard.” When you find a person like this in the study hall pondering over her lessons you can be pretty sure that it is Ruth and that the honor roll is about to be entered again. Mildred Ronk —Billee “Not in the clamor of the crowded street, Not in the shouts and plaud¬ its of the throng But in ourselves, are triumph and defeat.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Glee Club (2-3-4); Liter¬ ary Club (2-3-4); Prize in Milton Bradley National Essay Contest (1); Schol¬ arship Insignia (1); Chamber of Commerce (4); Asst. Auditorium Ed¬ itor, Panorama (4); Cap Gown Committee (4); Honor Student (4); Boys Week, Hills, McLean Haskins, Store Teacher (4); Gold Key (4). Page Fifty-six PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Hannah Riger— Han Ruth Saki Margaret Stratton “Hourly joys be still upon Peg you!” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Nature Study Club (1); Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4); Interclass Hock¬ ey and Basketball (3). “Han” has always been a good fellow. Interclass sports have been her side line but now she is going to play her best role as a snappy, little business woman. The life of the big city evidently attracts her for she expects to attend a business college in New York City next year. “Live, Love, and be Happy.” Zaner Diploma (1); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (3-4); Hockey Team (4); Boys Week, Linens Counter, Hills, McLean Haskins (4). While in high school, Ruth has been having a good time and making those around her have a good time. She plays a great game of hockey and was honored by being named as half-back on the hockey Varsity team. “The thing that goes the farthest Toward making life worth¬ while, That costs the least and does the most. Is just a pleasant smile.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Friday Club (2-3-4); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Girls Glee Club (3- 4). Peg’s smiles are not oc¬ casional but frequent. Those of us who know her, particu¬ larly, will agree that it Is Peg who ushers in the sun on a rainy day. Peg is also a “wonder girl” at music. Irena Soules— Rinkie “Her heart is like a garden fair. Where many pleasant blos¬ soms grow.” Nature Study Club (1); In¬ terclass Hockey (2); Lit¬ erary Club (3-4). Isn’t she nice?—Who?— Isn’t she sweet?—What’s that?—Say, don’t you know whom? No? You should, it’s Rinkie” Soules. Because of all this, and that pleasing per¬ sonality which is so well known, she has picked the right work—that of being one of the best nurses of the times. We ' d have her President but she will be a better nurse. Morton Swartz— Mart “As if the world and he were hand and glove.” Interclass Basketball (1-2); Interclass Football (2-3); Swimming- (4); Class Notable. Lounge Lizard (4). Tall and trim—and handsome, too. Dark and curly hair;— Others envy watching you Charm the ladies fair. Merry smile and friendly nod. Happy word from you. For him who through these halls does plod. Makes him happy too. Thus it is that you do grieve us. When you threaten now to leave us. Blanche Savitch —Babe “A merry heart maketh a glad countenance.” Interclass Basketball (1); Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4). Don ' t labor under the de¬ lusion that Blanche may be an easy-going, careless young person. She isn’t. She ' s the essence of energy, and is al¬ ways ready to help someone. Just at present she is ready to help someone as a sten¬ ographer. She is quick and ready, and therefore will be successful in her business career. Page Fifty-seven PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Delbert Smith —Schmitty “A man, a he-man I would be, Not weak, or false, or cowardly; A man who ever looks to Thee, Both in defeat and victory.” Junior Varsity Football (3- 4); Swimming ' Squad (3); Track Squad (3-4); Class Poet (4). The lines above are the words of a good pal, who is friendly and courteous to all, ever ready to smile, and glad to tackle the difficult tasks. He expects to enter the ministry. We prophesy that he will surely make good. Kenneth Surine —Kenny “But wherefore art not in thy shop today! Why dost thou lead these men about the streets! Truly, sir, to wear out their shoes, to get myself into more work.” Orchestra (1-2-3-4); Fresh¬ man Football (1); Festi¬ val Chorus (1-2); Boys Glee Club (2-3-4); Con¬ gress Club (3). Those who have become ac¬ quainted with Kenny” think him the greatest fellow going. Is he cheerful ? Notice his cheery smile and the cheery colors that he likes so well. Edward Shannahan —Sheeny “Idleness is an appendix to nobility.” St. Patrick’s High School, Interclass Football (1-2); Interclass Baseball (1-2); Glee Club (2-3-4); Festi¬ val Chorus (2-3-4); Jun¬ ior Varsity Football (2- 3-4); Congress (2-3-4); Track Squad (2); Inter¬ class Skating Meet (2); Boys Varsity Swimming Squad (2); Band (2-3-4); Orchestra (2-3); Con¬ gress-Lit Play (3); “Jazz Bandits” (3); “Prince of Pilsen” (3). Huldah Simonds “Virtue and sense are one.” H elpful U nassuming L oyal D etermined A mbitious H appy The last name? Simonds, of course. Robert Sullivan— Boh “I live in crowds of jollity.” Orchestra (1-2). “Bob” is always doing his bit whether it be mastering difficult studies or brighten¬ ing the world with his broad grin. “Bob” never disappoint¬ ed his fell ow students in their expectation and esteem of him. You’re just the kind of fel¬ low we all like, “Bob”! Caroline Smith— Linn “Say it with Smiles.” Freshman Basketball (1); Corporal, Girls Civic League (1); Nature Study Club (1); Literary Club (1-2-3-4). Caroline has won for herself the title of authority on how to win and hold friends. Per¬ haps one reason for this is her appreciation of other peo¬ ple’s good points, and another is her own cheery smiles. Page Fifty-eight PANORAMA ANNUAL, 192; Loristr Smith —Weedie “Always ready with a smile, Making every day worth while.” Scholarship Insignia (1-2-3-4); Interclass Basketball (1-2), Capt. (2) ; Literary Club (2- 3-4), Serg.-at-Arms (3), Asst. Secy. (4) ; Swimming (2-3) ; Tennis (2-3) ; Hockey Mgr. (3) ; Civic Club Debate (2), Mgr.

Lucy Smith “Tomorrow cheerful as today.” Corporal of Girls Civic League (1); Special Chorus (2). Doesn’t this quotation just fit Lucy? It’s surprising the amount of cheerfulness that can radiate from so small a body. Lucy has another pleasing characteristic. The name Lucy always seems to suggest someone sweet, so when you read this article, just believe in suggestion. Esther Smith “Quite matchless are her dark brown i i i i. She talks with charming e e e e, But when I tell her she is y y y y. She says I am a t t t t!” Special Chorus (1-2-3); Fri¬ day Club (2-3-4). And there you have Esther! Could the gods have been more kind ? Brown eyes and light hair,—and the spell that both can bind. Esther is a worker. She is the go-ahead type. She believes that just because a thing is hard is no reason for its not being done. Not only will Esther take a number of friends with her this June, but she will leave many regretful ones behind. Helen Smith —Smitty “Unthinking, idle, wild and young, I laugh’d and danc’d and talk’d and sung.” Special Chorus (1); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (2-3-4); Literary Club (3-4); Boys Week, At Ready-to-Wear Counter, Hills, McLean Haskins (4); Class Nota¬ ble, Vamp (4). “Smitty” has had a right good time in school and in¬ cidentally has made everyone else happy too. She dances along the corridors and her eyes sparkle “hello” even be¬ fore her lips say it. Both teachers and pupils like her— and how! Kathleen Sullivan —Kay “In life’s golden chain of friendships consider me a link.” Literary Club (2-3); Swim¬ ming (2-3-4). Who’s the girl with the eyes of gray That dance and sparkle and seem to say: Come on and be happy, life’s a lot of fun. There’s always something that has to be won.” Who’s the girl? Why that’s our Kay, And §he’s the girl with the eyes of gray! Syrena Searles “To set the cause above re¬ nown. To love the game above the prize.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Literary Club (2-3-4); Glee Club (3-4). Syrena leaves the publicity and glory of the prominent life to others. However, she is full of work and fun and mischief, one of those happy mixtures of work and fun— that wil l take her through life cheerfully and successfully. Page Fifty-nine PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Gerald Savory— Jerry “He will discourse most eloquent music.” Thompson Boro High School Dramatics Class (1-2); B. C. H. S. Band, State Band Competition at Ith¬ aca, 2nd Place (3); Hills, McLean Haskins, Boys Week (3); Varsitv Track Squad (3); Band (4); Varsity Track Squad, Manager (4); Chamber of Commerce (4); Con¬ gress (4); Delegate from Home Room to G. O. Council (4). When a person speaks from the platform in assembly, the school sizes him up right away. B. C. H. S. surely is proud of “Jerry” Savory. Eva Schwab “Wit to persuade and beauty to delight.” Scholastic Award (2-3-4); Civic Club Debate (4); Gold Key (4); Honor Student (4). A ready smile, a mischievous gleam, and a ripple of steady laughter characterize Eva Schwab. She is one of those rare persons whom the gods favored with originality com¬ bined with wit. During her four years in high school, Eva has acquired hosts of friends and has won distinction in de¬ bate as well as in scholarship. Clarence Staples —Jerry “Why should life all labour be ?” Track (1-2-3-4), Capt. (3); All-State Track (2-3-4); Penn Relay (2-3); Cross Country (3-4), Capt. (4); Awards Committee (3); S’weater (3); Class Nota¬ ble, Veteran (4); Boys Week, Vice-Pres., Hills. McLean Haskins (4); Hi-Y (1-2-3-4). Of all the fine things I have heard people say, of all the folks I have known in my work and play, there’s none seemed to me quite so hearty and high as the hearty phrase, “Jerry’s a Regular Guy.” I Iarry Scoville— Pork At le e S chott —AI Edward Tiiayne— Ed “To live at ease, and not be bound to think.” Interclass Baseball (2) Varsity Football (2-3-4) Glee Club (2); Track (3) Class Notable, Bluffer (4) A big, blonde athlete—that’s “Pork”. Frequently seen in the library and known when¬ ever seen by everyone. There will be a large place left va¬ cant when “Pork” leaves our school. “And he was the life of the party.” “Al” is known everywhere for his friendly personality. He is equally gracious to all his friends- both fellows and girls. You never see him when he isn’t good-natured and care-free. Al” is also good in his studies which he has kept up for some time while being employed at a steady job outside of school. “Be silent and safe—rsilence never betrays.” Earnest Dependable Willing Alert Reliable Debonair. s� Don’t you know the last name? Don’t kid me, of course you do. Yes, that’s right,—Thayne. Page Sixty PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Florence Thwing Barbara Truitt— Bob Paul Tarpley Beauty attractive, knowl¬ edge delightful, and wit good-natured.” An honest man is sure to win.” “She is pretty to walk with. And witty to talk with. And pleasant, too, to think Literary Club (1-2-3) Literary Club (1-2). Scholarship (4). Anyone who doesn’t know “Bob”, with her sunny hair and her sunny smile, is de¬ cidedly out of luck. It has been rumored that several at¬ tractive girls have gone to Vassal- in the past, but I can almost see the old college glance in glee at the arrival of our Bob”. Special Chorus (1); Junior Varsity Football (3-4). Plucky, Ambitious, Unsel¬ fish. Loyal, Tactful, Accom¬ modating, Remarkable, Perse¬ vering, Lucky, Efficient, Yoe- manly. For those of you who do not know him, this is Paul Tarpley. Florence has a deliberate, quiet way of speaking and acting, but when she does speak everyone is interested, and when she smiles—oh, my! We would never hear of her talents from Florence. But rumor tells us she may become a designer and if she does we know she will be an excellent one. Ferris Terry— Red Dominic Trozze— Trozij Millard Turner “Nothing endures but per¬ sonal qualities.” Track (2-3-4); Mile (2), Capt., i Mile (3), Quarter and Mile (4); Football (4); Honor Student (4); Track, Blue Ribbon. 3rd Place, High Jump; Gold Medal, 1st Place, High Jump; Silver Medal, 2d Place, Broad Jump (4). During his school career, Ferris has distinguished him¬ self in athletics. In addition, he has won many friends, who will willingly vouch for him. He.is a good sport and a fine fellow, the combination of which will make a name for him wherever he goes. That’s the lad with the wavy hair. The drollsome gab and the lofty air. Some girls remark,—Say, he’s debonair; But believe it or not, the boy’s r ight there.” Those few graduates, who have not had the pleasure of Dominic’s acquaintance dur¬ ing their high school course, have without doubt lacked the personal touch of one of the finest fellows in school. You see “Trozy” happened to be one of the very few fellows in school who carried six solids successfully. We rise by the things that are under our feet.” Deposit High School (1-2- 3); Orchestra (1-2-3); Literary Brothers Organ¬ ization (1-2-3); Glee Club (3); Award Committee (3); Football (3). Life is like a relay race. Millard ran the first lap in Denosit. coming here near the end of the second. Now as he nears the marker of this lap, he seems to be well ahead. Millard had not told us where he was going to try out for the third lap, but we feel sure that he will make the other runners hurry. Page Sixty-one PANORAMA ANNUAL, 19 2 7 “A smile will go a long, long way.” ‘‘Ambition’s Reward.” “Trusty, dusky, vivid, true.” Special Chorus (1); Swim¬ ming (1-4); Chamber of Commerce (2-3-4), Ser- geant-at-Arms (4); Fri¬ day Club (2-3-4); 30- AVord Underwood Certifi¬ cate (4); Boys Week, Head of Stationery Dept., Hills, McLean Haskins (4). Good scout? Oh, yes, and what’s more she’s on the road to being a bigger one—a di¬ rector, I mean. Dot has a pleasant disposition. Don’t lose that. Dot. Band (1-2-3-4); Orchestra (1-2-3-4); Festival Chor¬ us (1-2-3-4); Track team (2-3); Gold Key (4); Boys Week, Inspector of Sidewalks (4). When “Ed” was a little boy—- just so high, He played a piccolo by the bye. But now he’s a big boy—al¬ most a man. And he plays the bass horn in the band. Editor’s Note—“It might, and then again it might not.” Scholarship Insignia (2-3- 4); Hockey (3-4); Liter¬ ary Club (3); Panorama Board (3); Gold Key (4); Honor Student (4). That’s K”. She is as re¬ freshing as an oasis in a desert and as rare—for she has learned the great secret of be¬ ing just herself. Her true charm lies in her quiet deli¬ cacy of manner, which singles her out more effectively than the most spirited effervescence. Her sweet personality has cast a potent spell over the hearts of her many friends. John Tuthill Daisy Vogel— Dazie Jack Vail— Jack “Is not true leisure One with true toil?” Congress Club (1-2-3-4); Interclass Football (2); Awards Committee (2). “Eternal sunshine settles on her head.” Literary Club (2-3). “Life is not life at all with¬ out delight.” Hi-Y (2-3); Junior Varsity Football (2). A favorite in high school, John has started already to make himself liked in the realm beyond these walls. We hated to see him leave us for no one can ever quite fill his place. However we expect to hear from him again after Cornell has become acquainted with his talents . Yes, “Dazie” is that “red headed gal” you see so much around school. It is not often that you find both pleasing personality, an intelligent mind and beauty in one person. But “Dazie” has all these attributes and consequently, will make a success of whatever she under¬ takes. Jack has that something” which is obscure in most peo¬ ple—a faculty for doing dis¬ agreeable tasks energetically, putting them aside finished, and then passing on to enjoy a few hours snappy sport until the next task needs attention. Cornell is a good landing for four more years! Page Sixty-two PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Fred Van Loan Newman Vosbury Fred Vavra— Freddie “Patience is a necessary in¬ gredient of genius.” Nature Study Club (1); Leader Core (2-3); Track (3); Foo.tball Squad (4). Fred is the boy who came from Pennsylvania three or four years ago and set dogged¬ ly at work to accustom him¬ self to our ways of doing things. It was a hard strug¬ gle too, at first; if you don’t believe it try changing school systems yourself. But Fred succeeded admirably and at the same time kept his cheer¬ ful good-nature. “Thou hast a charm to stay the morning star in his steep course.” Football Squad (1-2-3); Hi-Y (1-2-3-4); Ass’t. Bus. Mgr., Panorama (3); Member Board of Educa¬ tion. Boys Week (3); Dramatics Class Plays (3-4), “Expressing Wil¬ lie” (3), “A Woman’s Way” (3); “Icebound” (4), “Winter Dust” (4), Lead in One-Act Play, Ithaca Contest (3). “Vos” hasn’t wasted a mo¬ ment in his four years in high school. His likeable person¬ ality distinguishes him among his fellow students. “He plays the game for all he’s worth.” Interclass Basketball, Run¬ ner Up. Dinty Moore Trophy (2); Var sity Ten¬ nis Squad (3); Interclass Baseball (4). Between school with its necessary preparation and out¬ side work. Freddie” has been busy. Nevertheless, he has found time to participate in several athletic activities. No less earnestly and sincerely has he applied himself to class work. Thomas Wilkes —Tommy “Wit is the spice of life.” Hi-Y (1-2-3-4); Track Man¬ ager (4). Is there anyone who has not heard “Tommy’s” outburst of laughter? If there is, he has missed a rare treat. Behind that broad smile there is a certain something which makes everyone like him. His wit is always at his command even when he is preparing his les¬ sons. All in all, Thomas is a steady, industrious, likeable fellow whom all hold high in their esteem. Gertrude Williams “A big heart, always wish¬ ing to do right And to be friends with everybody.” The moment you meet Ger¬ trude, you realize that here is a girl worth knowing. Nor do you find you are mistaken when you know her better, for hers is a friendship that lasts. Gertrude expects to do office work when she leaves school. Ada West— Adda “How smoothly glides the tide to fortune.” Scholarship Insignia (1-2- 3-4); Literary Club (2-3- 4); Interclass Baseball (3) ; Dramatics Class Play (3-4). “A Woman’s Way” (3), “Winter Dust” (4) , Ithaca 1st Prize Play. “The Flattering Word” (4); Dom Econ Club (3- 4), Secy., (4); Gold Key (4); Panorama Reporter; Honor Student (4); Per¬ fect Attendance Certifi¬ cate (1-2-3). Ada is one of those few de¬ pendable girls who is always willing to make our burdens lighter. Won’t she make an ideal nurse? Page Sixty-three PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Jack Watson Marion Waidler Evan Webster “The wisest man could ask no more of fate, Than to be simple, honest manly, true.” Orchestra (1); Interclass Baseball (1). Perhaps Jack is not one of those who so dashingly stand out from the crowd but never¬ theless, when he is not around he is decidedly missed. You have all read and heard time and again those standard qual¬ ities of a “good fellow” so there is no need of repeating them here for all who know Jack, know he has them all and perhaps a few more tucked in at the corners. “Large was her bounty, and her soul sincere.” Marion has been a shining star in the business depart¬ ment of the school. An honor student, an active member of Friday Club—she is the kind of girl you’d go a long way to meet. At present she is A. E. Terris’ efficient stenog¬ rapher. “Hail to the chief who in triumph advances.” Hi-Y (1-2-3-4); Band (1-2- 3), Insignia (2); Orches¬ tra (1-2-3); Stage Mgr., “A Woman’s Way” (3), “You and I” (3), “Ice¬ bound” (4); Lead, “Win¬ ter Dust” (4); Gold Key (4). Evan ' s performance as the lead in “Winter Dust” has es¬ tablished for him the title of “eternal lover.” His musical and dramatic ability have gained for him one of the school’s greatest honors, the coveted gold key. He expects to enter Cornell next year. Willis Wood —Woody “Friends depart, and mem¬ ory takes them to her caverns, pure and deep.” Freshman Basketball (1); Hiking Club (1); Junior Varsity Football Squad (2); Football Squad (3- 4); Orchestra (2-3-4); Band (3-4); Gold Key (4). “Woody” is one of the im¬ portant people behind the scenes who help others to shine. As such he surely de¬ serves our praise. Not bril¬ liant, but “right there on the job” is “Woody”. He is one of our mighty football play¬ ers, and is also one of our musicians, playing a trombone in the orchestra. Marion Warren A friendly man hath many friends.” Special Chorus (1); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (3-4); Literary Club (4); Boys Week. Office Assistant, Hills, McLean Haskins (4). An honest-to-goodness and fiiendly smde, merry eyes, sympathetic disposition—that is Marion Warren. You see her, and to seek her friend¬ ship most naturally follows. A quiet girl, yet a sure influence aI F OI W us is she. and one who wdl leave a welcome memory to fill the space her loss will occasion. Clifton Wilcox— Cliff “Men of few words are the best men.” “Cliff’s” four years in high school have been marked by perseverance and industry. However, in getting the most out of school life, he did not neglect making many true friendships. Behind his air of reserve, his friends have found the essentials which make for success in the business world. Page Sixty-four PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 T “Heart free—hand free!” Hi-Y (2-3-4); Assistant Manager of Swimming (3); Boys Week, Superin¬ tendent of Streets (4). “Shorty” has always done well in his studies although he doesn’t believe much in worry¬ ing about anything as long as he has a good time and makes a steady progress. He has the knack of making friends with all, especially those of the fairer sex. On to college with our best wishes, Ralph. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.’ Capt.

Of imitations accept none; Real Olives ? There is but one. “If worry were the cause of death, then would I live forever.” Special Chorus (1-2-3-4); Glee Club (1-2-3-4). “Barney” is always ready, when the word fun is spoken, with an idea to help it along. If anyone wants suggestions for a little innocent mischief, just call on her. “Barney” has not decided what she will do after she finishes high school. Alice Wilcox “None knew thee but to love thee. Nor named thee but to praise.” Scholarship Insignia (2-3- 1); Chamber of Commerce (3-4); Gold Key (4); Fourth Honor Student (4). Alice has been with us four long years, plodding quietly along without attracting at¬ tention, finally popping up with a B. C. H. S. gold key and the fourth place on the high honor group to reward her for her labor. She has been rendering her services at the Girl Scout Headquarters. Alice is a true-blue “scout.” Louis Wilson “Words are but empty thoughts.” Louis always has his les¬ sons and, although they are not always perfect, they show a preparation backed by determination and persever¬ ance. He was quite a shai-k in Latin and that means a great deal. Halina Wood “Love is like a rose, the joy of all the earth.” Halina has been with us only her last two years, but we who know her, have found a true friend, and all around good sport, and a loyal supporter of B. C. H. S. Page Sixty-five PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Doris Yancey Anna Wolfe Julia Zall— Jewel “What is more rare than a good disposition?’’ “Smile with an intent to do mischief.” “Something more than mel¬ ody Dwells ever in her words.” Special Chorus (1-2-3); Sophomore Basketball ( 2 ). The above statement applies to none other than Doris Yancey. She is pleasant, and is well-liked by all who know her. B. C. H. S. will certainly miss her, and Sargent College, which Doris expects to enter in the fall, will gain a worthy asset. Special Chorus (1); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (3-4). But not bad mischief! Just mischief that means fun and joy for others. It’s always fun to see Anna because she’s either smiling or laughing—or giggling. Do notice her curly hair and laughing eyes! Oh, you can’t resist Anna! Scholarship Insignia (1-2); High School in 3J Years; Gold Key (4); Honor Student (4). “Jewel” is truly very precious to our high school. In her short three and one- half years here she has found time to make friends and to maintain a high standing in her studies. Isabelle Young “Listen to that song and learn it.” Special Chorus (1-3); Soph¬ omore Basketball Team (2); Glee Club (3); Fri¬ day Club (4). There’s where Isabelle shines. And she doesn’t have to listen to a song more than once, be¬ fore she knows it. She’s going to Cortland,—we wonder if she intends to be a musical director. Anna Zamchalk “Soft peace she brings; wherever she arrives.” Special Chorus (1-3); Cham¬ ber of Commerce (4). Perhaps all of you didn’t know Anna of the sweet smile. If you didn’t, you missed something. She was always cheerful and obliging and we were sorry to have her leave in January. We’ve heard that her report card wasn’t the kind to be ashamed of either. Edna Youngs “Steadfast and True.” Special Chorus (3). Although Edna left us in January, we have not yet for¬ gotten her, nor will we for many days to come. Her cheery friendliness and earnest endeavor have endeared her to all.

Dreaming of all the won¬ derful things that are going to happen to me, someday. And if this dream were to be published, I suppose that it would read like a fairy tale. For I am young. I am I. Things will be different for me, somehow. Surely those misfortunes which T see on every side cannot come closer to me. The sun, which shines so brightly today, cannot be clouded over tomorrow. Am I wrong in supposing that, on this beautiful spring day, other young people are dreaming too? Do I err when I assume that their dreams are similar to mine? 1 do not think so. To be blissfully and supremely happy is the hope of many a human being, young and old alike. Dreamers of idle happiness, beautiful as your air castles are, they will, sooner or later, fall in ruins. I sincerely hope that this is not a new and bitter truth to you. “If a man wishes to live, he must also be prepared to suffer . . . Whoever accepts suffering from the outset places himself in the very center of the mean¬ ing of Life.” This passage of Count Keyserling explains my purpose in .choosing this seemingly pessimistic trend of thought for a Class Day Essay. So many, many people are the victims of disillusion, young people especially. I do not want you, like Youth in the play, “Ex¬ perience”, to make the mistake of going out into the world prepared to follow the Primrose Path. It does not exist. Life is the refini ng process through which character must pass. What spineless creatures we would be without adversities to strengthen us! What wretched creatures if our sole fount of joy were in physical pleasures! Character is the means by which we can become, if we but will it, perfect machines with a one hundred percent efficiency for- creating happiness. But that day is far off. Carlyle seems to have two formulae for happiness. The first is arithmetic. So it is true that the Fraction of Life can be increased in alue not so much by increasing your Numerator as by lessening your Page Seventy-two PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Denominator.” To apply it specifically, a greater amount of happiness can be obtained by decreasing the number of desires than by increasing the satisfactions of those desires. His second method is by humiliation. I can see Carlyle now, look¬ ing down from the majestic heights of his genius upon an ant-like creature under his bell jar. “Foolish Soul!” he thunders. “What Act of Legislature was there that Thou shouldst be Happy. A little while ago thou hadst no right to be at all.” My re-action to this statement has always been to seemingly shrink into mere nothingness, not unlike Alice in Wonderland, when she ate the magic cake. Someone has said that happiness lies in achievement. To me this seems the simplest and most worthwhile solution. When life has been accepted as one with suffering, the noblest thing to do is to conquer life. Find happiness in yourself, decrease your de¬ nominator, humble yourself justly, and greatest of all, achieve! We are still young, dreaming. There are many joys and sorrows in store for us before our souls will have matured. May you find, dear fellow-graduates, that I have not taken away your dreams in vain, but that I have helped you, just a little, “to place yourselves in the very center of the meaning of Life.” Page Seventy-three PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Class $oem Faith As we climb the mount of Faith We often falter on the way; It never is an easy road Which leads to full and perfect day. Faith makes man look with joyful hope Into a bright eternity; Without Faith he would ever drift Like shattered wreck on storm-tossed sea. Oftimes when some great trouble comes, It seems to overpow’r all trust; But Faith, like sun through fleeting clouds. Shines through, e’er lighting up the just. When one has given everything, Has run the race with all his might, Yet seems defeated after all, Yea, seems to fight a losing fight; When trials come and fears assail. When all is doubt and unbelief, ’Tis then that Faith is needed most, ’Tis then that Faith brings us relief. Dslbert Smith Page Seventy-four PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Class irtstorp Mary Alice Brownlow PRELUDE — In A Major A pleasing introduction in four movements designed to prepare the musician for heavier and more difficult undertakings. PART I—Tran quit j,o The musician executes this movement in a hesitant, cautious manner, not being wholly certain of his touch. However, with the careful guidance of directors and teachers he is able to produce a satisfactory and in some cases a very excellent effect. He is somewhat hampered in his progress, for it is he who is the first beginner to be granted but half time in the studio. Hence he must struggle through half his days independent of the aid and encouragement of his teacher. PART II— Allegro Throughout this part a slight change is noted in the technique of the musician. It is still light and immature, yet a finer touch may he detected, a greater heed to complexities and a swifter .accomplishment is observed. Certain individuality begins to stand out. First is dis¬ covered an athletic or martial strain, then one apparently oratorical, and a dramatic effect adds brilliant melody. On the whole the masters of the studio believe that no ill purports will result from the diminished period of study within the building. PART III— Vivace The musician now reaches his very apex—as the Americans say, he is “going strong.” He affects an almost swagger air in his playing. In addition to this peculiar nonchalance, he produces a weighty manner of care and importance, probably due to the revolution in the studio management which greatly increases his governing power and brings Page Seventy-five PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 him into closer contact with the masters. Furthermore, it is rumored that another splendid studio is to he erected and is to offer a preliminary course to the present one. Suddenly the musician finds it,complete be¬ fore his very eyes, and feels a genuine pride in the growth of his art. PART IV— Grave At last the musician seems to realize the dignity and force in the last movement of the piece. He rehearses it with greater care and diligence than ever. Still his little mannerisms predominate, which when closely watched sound athletic, oratorical, dramatic, and even studious, and are certain to leave their mark of style on the studio itself, and will he exemplary to musicians to come. He even seems to appreciate the value of this varied practice and training, and while he executes this last impressive rhythm, we know that he can still play Allegro and Vivace with all the joy of the yet youthful musician. Reverie I sat in church; ’twas Sunday eve; The twilight hour which hid the earth Did give all things uncertain shape, And ushered in the night’s rebirth. 1 sat in deep and quiet thought; In pensive, tranquil reverie, When in the midst of all my dreams Flowed gentle music, soothingly. At first in low and solemn tones, Producing reverential awe, It charged the atmosphere with wings; I felt the gates of Heav’n withdraw. But suddenly the music changed; With militant and martial air It made me feel the presence then Of that Victor’ ous Leader near. The music died; I fell again Into my meditative state. But still I felt a Presence there; My spirit had soared to Heaven’s gate. —Delbert Smith. Page Seventy-six PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Claste! deration Edwin Hall Life and the Future! What countless visions of hopes and fears, what myriads of glorious deeds, what innumerable possibilities of suc¬ cess or failure do these magic words conjure up before our anxious eyes! The very mention of them, revered to us as they are by their grave significance, presents a peculiar outlook, dim, uncertain, seem¬ ingly shrouded in dark veils. Standing at the threshold of Life’s passage, filled with deep forebodings, we shiver with apprehension and, in silent wonderment, peer searchingly into the mist. There seems to be no aid, no little clue with which to detect the solution, not even a tiny ray of light to pierce the vapor, no loving hand to guide the child, who was once the mother’s pride, now the world’s burden. He must strike out for himself, lend his own un¬ practiced efforts to the quest, strengthen his weak dependent power into iron bands of such a fabric that they can withstand the conse¬ quences of Triumph and Defeat. What he is now is not to his praise or blame; for what he is tomorrow he is entirely accountable. We cannot fortell a single instant of our future; our eyes will never have strength to see beyond a fixed point; we can never reach out into the abyss and clutch the desired answer. True, we may prophesy, we may predict, and wager on the outcome, but the Future will ever reserve the right to vary and change from the most carefully calculated form¬ ulas of our attempts. And why is this not the better way? If man could read Life’s brief chapter before his candle has burned low, he would have nothing to do but wait the certain outcome as he has seen it written. He would be¬ come an idler, a veritable parasite. The danger, the risk, the mys¬ terious end would all be gone. He would live only on the Past, the monotony would grow from day to day to he a living torture, and the things to look forward to would cease to he anticipated, and often be dreaded. Is it not better to have Life’s success or failure rest with oneself rather than to be printed in black and white in a book of Destiny? We prefer to decide for ourselves instead of listening to the oracle’s weird chant. Page Seventy-seven PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 And since the Future can be made just what man wills it, since he may build a stone house or one of straw, since he controls his own destiny, cannot such a realization arouse us and convince us that op¬ portunity is nearby offering a wonderful compensation to the person who will strive and labor to its end ! We have progressed far enough to understand this unwritten Law. The ancients placed their faith in the decisions of soothsayers and of prophets. Today we know that only by one’s own diligence does an unfinished task reach conclusion, is a wish gratified by reality; only by ceaseless attempt is the high wall scaled to reach the garden where grows the fruit of accomplishment. We are men of different degrees of intelligence, some great, others small; we possess varying talents, some show outstanding promise, some bury their ability in the depths of their slothful hearts, but one and all, we have been bequeathed with some gift or armed with some weapon. There remains for the individual the development of his gift, the use of his talent or dagger. The temptations of Life, the limits of endurance, the possible luxury offered him with his task half done,— all these are his enemies and will cry to him to stop by the wayside. They will slacken his pace, they will weigh him down, and if he listens to them, his troubles will grow and multiply. But let his Will, his Character, that which keeps him on the road, step in and put a stop to these ceaseless murmurings. If lie can keep up the battle, if he can struggle till the last ounce of power has departed from his weary body, if he will banish discourage¬ ment and be as grim as Life itself, he will succeed. The choice to do or not to do is with him alone.

Now that was not unusual in itself; there were 266 other members of that noble aggregation that hadn’t thought up one either. Rut we had been condemned back in ’27 to write a prediction of ‘27’s future and it wasn’t long afterward that, the classmates discovered that blood can’t be extracted from a turnip, or a pair of turnips. You see, we bad run out of brains long before anybody thought of a class prophecy and that prophecy simply wasn’t forthcoming even after we had sifted forty-eleven suggestions. We realized that everybody can’t be pleased and also that Class Prophets are born and not bred. Anybody that wants to be a first class Class Prophet has to study it and work at it. He really ought to practice propheting the weather all the way from kindlegarden up. But, as we were saying, here we were in the year 1947, forty years older (twenty apiece) and in the fertile land of Utopia where the Utopians live. You see, we’d been pretty careful to steer shy of all the old grads for the simple reason that we hadn’t predicted that each and every one of them would sooner or later develop into a President of the United States. In the course of our travels (by the time-worn Henry method) we had been through many countries, good and bad. We had even spent a week-end at Hades. We’d been told to go there quite frequently so we did and found it most interesting except that we got awfully homesick for 305. So we moved on to Utopia. Now Utopia is situated just about 437.8 kilometers southeast of the equator and we had quite a job finding it. However, we installed a compass on the gas-buggv and negotiated the trip all right, arriving at the outskirts about noon. We got out the old frying pan and got dinner under way nicely when a man in uniform drove up and informed us that fires weren’t allowed in Utopia. Upon request, the cop, who turned out to be Bill Kessler, told us how the Hill is Asbestos Company, Inc., sued the Turner Match Mfg. Corp. when the town hall burned down and Page Seventy-nine PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 put it out of business but Millard and Ike Hyde had joined hands and formed the Turner-Hyde Fire Insurance Institute. This put Matty Egan out of a job, of course, but he went on a fireman’s pension and took up golf along with Mike Maxian. We thanked Bill for the enlightenment and all of a sudden he recog¬ nized us and gave us the glad hand and a Jefferson Meagher cigar. Then who should stride down the road but Althea West with a milk bucket in each hand. We chewed the rag some more and soon learned that all the old crowd from B. C. H. S. were residing in Utopia. We then got worried about our past record but they assured us that we were safe because there was no such thing as animosity in Utopia. So, greatly relieved, we asked the way to a hotel and Bill escorted us to the G. 0. Hotel, owned by Jerome Granger and Charles Mosher, on the corner of Botnick Street and Calibrisi Avenue. On the way in we bought a bag of peanuts from Dudley Finch and handed the suitcase to Fred Vavra who accepted a nickel with avariciousness. Jack Mitchell greeted us at the desk and we bought a couple of rooms from him. Soon after we dined at the Prythereh-Warren Restaurant just down the street. We went there because we saw Ray Horton flipping flap¬ jacks in the window. We recognized Gerald Savory behind the counter and were delighted when Charlie Day, the head waiter, came to serve us. Attired likewise in the white apron were Jack Vail, Tommy Wilkes, John Boyle, and Henry Clisson, all busily engaged in sorting hash. Chow was progressing smoothly when the strains of liquid melody broke in on the clatter of chinaware. When the air cleared a little we recog¬ nized the musicians, who played under the name of the “Rubber Band.” They consisted of Roger Hayes, Burton Craw, Willis Wood, Walt King, and Sid Friedlander, with Henry Hess passing the hat and work¬ ing the drums between times. Anne Knapp was the headliner in one of the dancing numbers and was supported by Bob Truitt, Cecile Griffin, Peg Costello, Peg Lott, “Berry Nice” Bradley, Marion Waidler, and Edith Hutchings. We looked about ns about this time and met the gaze of several acquaintances. Among the diners were Theodore Cohn and Jake Ryerson seated at the next table with Emily Bennett and Marion Coon. While we were speaking to them in came Ed Grace selling shoe strings. As soon as we finished eating we decided to make a little tour of the village. We would have ridden on the Stewart Horton Traction (A., but when Carl Holcomb, the conductor, refused to accept a Canadian dime, we decided to walk. Upon going back to the curb we were nearly run down by Evan Webster in his taxi. We were greatly amazed to find ourselves in front of a barber shop in which John Brusil was per¬ forming on Newman Hagopian. And Geraldine Perella’s name was on the window, indicating that she was a manicurist. he moved on past the Hartman Laundry and noticed a large gather¬ ing across the street. The noise was so great that we went over to in¬ vestigate and found Ed Hall soap-boxing an audience into donating to Page Eighty Panorama annual, 1927 a fund for a Home for Worn-out Politicians. Everybody seemed to agree with him except Walt Grounsell who protested that he thought the money should go for a new pavement on Evenden Boulevard where he lived next door to Clifford Mosher’s billiard emporium. He met with considerable objection particularly from Bob Sullivan and Fren Van Loan who were passing out circulars advertising the opening of the Landre-Hogan Law Office. Their lusty shouts were so convincing that we ambled along the street until we came to a monstrous building with the name “Ada West Office Building” where our circulars said the new law firm had its seat. E d Thayne showed us to their office and we heard signs of squabbling from without. A fierce-looking couple were fighting (they were strangers in Utopia and no one knew them). Leah Allen was in the waiting room—she wanted to sue Elaine Hitch¬ cock for putting a chicken coop on her lawn. Elaine was starting a model chicken business and some of the experts interested were Lilia Reynolds, Gertrude Engelbert and Jeanette Germond. They had al¬ most perfected a chicken-less egg which Max Reynolds had promised to produce for them on a large scale. As we dashed out of the build¬ ing we saw two familiar names on the impressive glass windows Mor ris Motz—public accountant, and Dave Martin, photographer. Homer Collier was a chiropractor, so we were informed and “Mar¬ guerite Houston, Cards for All Occasions” was printed on a door. We heard she had a business as big as Sears-Roebuck in that line. Another door announced in large letters that Ed Fahey was the manager of an advertising agency. Investigating further, we learned that his office boasted the presence of Margaret Curry and Esther Finch in clerical capacities and Lewis Kadleck as office boy. Lewis saw us passing and came out to give us each a stick of Goetchus chewing gum which he said masticated to perfection. He told us to go down to the Utopian Town Hall where we would meet some old friends. So we started—and met Rex Kinney coming in the wrong side of the revolving door. On the wav a number of unusual things happened. We saw an aero¬ plane flying overhead and dropping circulars. On the under wing was printed—“Chew Gil insky Taffy”, and in smaller letters, “L. Wilson, Aviator.” While we were watching it, along came John Fowler gazing skyward and ran right into Lucille Badger and Gladys Joyner who were also looking up, but not at the plane. Following their gaze we saw “Horse” Myers perched on top of a telephone pole with a pair of pliers trying to get some co-operation from the gang below, among whom were John Tuthill and Kenneth Surine. On the side of the truck near by was “Dempsey Television Company”, and inside was Joe Lawrence. Suddenly a man thrust a newspaper before us. The man was Paul Johnson, and the paper was the “Utopian Weakly.” Out of curiosity we bought it and scanned its contents. On the very first page there was an account of a recent discovery of the meeting point of parallel lines by Leslie Newton and Miriam Prytherch. Underneath was Page Eighty-one PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 a description of infinity by Dom Trozze. Another interesting article was a discu ssion of the fifth dimension by Jack Watson. These were rather deep so we turned to the social column. Here we encountered the names of Bertha Ayers, Ruth Doughty, Doris Brown and Bernice Barden who were all entertaining at some festivity or other. We found also that Dorothy Bunnell and Ruth Cary were throwing a party to send off Lucy Gage who was about to sail for Paris. Among the prominent people present were Ruth Kelsey, Ethelyn Little, Margaret Stratton, Marion Lewis, and Edna Youngs. After the social came the household page. There was one column headed “ Advice to the Love-smitten” and edited by Letty Connelly. Among her most ardent admirers and counsel-seekers were Emelie Lawrence and Ferris Terry, identified by their initials. Then we no¬ ticed an interesting piece about the “Right Way to Bring Up Children” handled very masterfully by Neta Davey. Below this was a recipe article by Kathleen Collins and a number of menu hints offered by Roselyn Corbett, Anna Wolfe, and Isabelle Young. Finally, there was a questionnaire authored by none other than Gertrude Furman. Eventually we reached the cartoons and not in vain did we scan them. We were amazed to locate the names of Atlee Schott and Art O’Neil among the most famous cartoonists. One of the most interest¬ ing cartoons depicted the “Rise of the Setting Sun” and embodied several figures easily recognizable as Maxine Dewey, LaMona Gaylord, Mary Hryn, and Anna Gilinsky, and Mildred Keane was barely dis- cernable in the background. About this time we discarded the paper right in front of Judson George’s Bakery and continued our walk. We were busily engaged in discussing the relative merits of the dresses of Agnes Aitken and Efrozina Bubas, who were walking ahead of us, when we heard a great tumult approaching. A large streamer at the head of the procession announced that it was Utopian Girls Week. We were startled and curious. We had heard of Boys Week but this was something new. But the fact that Mary Alice Brownlow and Calista Bennett were hold¬ ing the streamer aloft pacified our troubled minds and we hastened to locate other acquaintances in the parade. Mort Swartz was there on his horse in blue uniform lubricating the path of the marchers and was supported by his worthy lieutenants, Scoville and Rozefsky. Then came the rabble. The band was conspicuously absent, all but the bass drum manned by Fran Conlon. Then followed the Utopian colors (maroon and silver) borne by Betty Donahue who evidently held some important position. The color-guard consisted of Eddie Eckert and Virginia Edgecombe who carried themselves with ease. Then came the biggest feature of the whole celebration. It was a long rope with girls attached at intervals of six feet. Jennie Durofchalk was at the business end of the rope. Then followed Ruth Cramer, Martha Hand, Cl ora Finch, Ruth Gibbops, Helena Gruschwitz, who nearly stretched the rope because she stopped to powder her nose, Page Eighty-two PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Evelyn Hagman, Anna Feinstein, Theresa Levy, Huldah Simons, and Dot Bryant. Then we saw Julia Ahern, Catherine Boothby, and Dolores Donnelly who apparently were all fed up on Girls Week. Mean¬ while the drum commenced the Alma Pater of Utopia and everybody joined in. Among the most prominent voices were those of Marguerite Cawley, Jeannette Clark, Marion Brooker, and Leah Cooper. Then we recognized another batch of natives comprising Sarah Bennett, Mary Bahan, Dorothy Bathke, and Sarah Arlasky, all having the time of their lives. Then we heard a tremendous yodeling sound which we mistook to be Charles Morgan in the distance. It eventually turned out to be Bill Miller’s steam piano at the conclusion of the P-rade. Among the usual rush of traffic at the end of such a celebration ap¬ peared several familiar faces in vehicles also familiar. Not the last to be seen was a hilarious party including Jerry Staples, Ed Taylor, Clifton Wilcox, Newman Yosbury, and Ed Shannahan, all crammed into Joe Normile’s stream-lined Ford-son. This was followed by a sight-seeing bus manipulated by Norval Platt. There was nobody in it but it bore the autographs of several of its victims in promiscuous bumps and dents about the chassis. Among them were those of Walt Meaker, Howard Preston, Ernie Rano, and also Delbert Smith’s in an obscure corner. We sauntered down the avenue, noticing all along the way signs to the effect that the “Hammond-Hawley” 10-ring circus was in town that day—and also words to the effect that they were honoring Utopia by being there. It seems Dottie Hotchkin was their advertising man¬ ager—and you know what that means. We drove all over town trying to find Auchinachie Ball Park and finally discovered it in the out¬ skirts of Utopia. Doris Yancey tried to sell us a ticket but we found an inconspicuous way to enter (according to our custom) and slipped into some ring-side seats. We bought some more peanuts from Miles Gelatt who told us that he was one of Dud’s super-peanut-salesmen. We didn’t have any cash left—but we saw the side-shows. Paul Mc¬ Cormack was a lion-tamer, and how he could soothe them lions reciting Virgil! Among the spectators we saw Carolyn Smith, Helen Ring, and Elizabeth Mitchell. Morrie Blair was sitting in a corner playing a drum for no other reason than to make noise and force Sheila Nelson to “Binghamton” faster (that’s the latest!). We didn’t see anyone else of any importance so we went back to the grandstand after lifting some pink lemonade off Nellie O’Dell and Ruth Saki. Julia Rose was distributing educational material to uplift the mob but that didn’t bother us, so we unparked our gum and left. On the way back uptown we gave Marion Warren and Dorothy Terry a lift. They told us quite a bit of news. Margaret McNulty, Dorothy Rubinowitch, Helen Smith and Florence Thwing are just leading happy, house-wifely lives and belong to the various clubs for bettering of the school system, etc.— really quite public-minded. By the way, Dorice Noe is head of the parent-teachers club. They didn’t say whether she was a parent or a Page Eighty-three PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 teacher. There seemed to be a great many social doings that we hadn’t read about in the paper. General Gerald Flaherty was home from the China-Japanese war and was quit a feted hero. Some of his staff were home with him—Captain George Majercik, Lieutenant Colonel Bruno Chape, and Clarence Chaffee, who though still a non-com, is expected to rise to a higher position soon. Burrill Gottry was presi¬ dent of the People’s Trust Company—in whom the people did not trust but whom they considered as safe as any and safer than some. At this point we dropped Dot and Marion and went to call on Burrill in memory of old “Panorama” days. On the way in we saw John Jennings, the teller, and Harold Evans—we couldn’t see what he was doing. Fritz DuPlessis was the freckled, grinning office boy who led us into the President’s office. Burrill was too busy to see us but he didn’t say so. He told us all about his wife and children. He also said that Daniel Foley and Peter Legos were night-watchmen and that they were quite trustworthy. Alice Wilcox was Burrill’s secretary, that is, his business one, and Dot Handrick was his social secretary. Gladys Oliver was her assistant. It would appear that Burrill was quite popular. We stayed so long that we received an invite for dinner which we accepted with a great show of reluctance. We were terribly impressed when we saw that he possessed a butler but not so impressed when we discovered he wasn’t an H’Englishman but only Alvan Hall. As a butler he is quite unique—instead of announcing our names quite pompously he sang them out, in a rich tenor. We tried to act as though nothing were unusual but we both fell up some unexpected steps. Mildred Ronk was the very demure little maid we saw and she looked very fetching. Some friends of Mrs. Burrill’s who had just dropped in to chat were just leaving, among whom we recognized Florence Hull, Esther Martin and Ruth Quick. They waved to us and dashed out into their Rolls and drove away. We had a rather good dinner and then we went into the music room to listen to the radio. They tuned in and the first thing we heard was Dolores Mineka. debating. We listened a while and then turned until we heard Mary Hennessey singing. After the prima donna had fin¬ ished, her manager, George King, spoke a few words, announcing that Mary would next perform on Friday evening, accompanied by Ruth Lynch on the piano. Some of the other attractions announced by Jack Kelley, the announcer, were that Gertrude Pierson would broadcast an ideal menu the next morning. It seemed great to see Jack over the radio. All of a sudden Eva Schwab ran across in front of the “mike.” It seems she has something to do with the machinery and got in the wrong place. The next feature was a dumb-bell exercise with Peg Meagher and Georgia Murphy, with Celia Levene on the violin and Theresa Levy fluting, keeping the accompaniment. Ruth Lenrow came next with a talk on “What College Meant to Me—And How!” Then Esther Smith and Doris Hutchings did a song and dance act that was Page Eighty-four PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 quite good. It seems that they were at the Utopian Hall in vaudeville. Clement Conole was also part of the act but he got left somewhere. About this point we were annoyed greatly by static, but Burrill told us that it was only Arlene Powell and Fritz Carbone fighting about whether the heroine in their new play should have black or blue eyes. He didn’t explain how they happened to get on the air but they got hitched up some way. The noise got so bad that we decided to leave as gracefully as possible and we did—much to our relief. We hopped into Lizzie and rode off madly waving good-bye. As we were both waving we didn’t notice Syrena Searles driving in her limousine with George Littell at the wheel. We struck so hard that we all four just flew out of the car—cast-iron tops notwithstanding. Two lone passers- by, Irena Soules and Daisy Ostrander, wandered nonchalantly by, regardless of mumbled and shouted imprecations. We picked ourselves up and Ed and George were about to fight when George remembered that Ed was to write a history of ’27 and he wished to be kindly re¬ membered. Although the Chevrolet limousine refused to move, the trusty old can of ours glided along serenely. We didn’t know where to go after our mishap but we were attracted by a brilliant sign announc¬ ing the Stranded Theater. Under that was the title The Splattering Ford”, with the star players James Corbett, Olive Worden, and the great character actor, the heavy”, George Cole. This sounded quite highly interesting so we thought we would reconnoitre. We found out that John Davis was the custodian of the exchequer so we gave him the high sign and passed on and in. Julia Zall, Mildred Hendrickson and Ruth Hinchman rushed up to escort us down and around the Gilded Horseshoe.” We jumped into a box to enjoy ourselves until such a time as we should be excommunicated. We surprised Hannah Eiger and Blanche Savitch discussing the recent performance and from what they said we imagined that they had seen it. They kindly asked us to share their box and then went right on talking and left us to enjoy the movie emporium and to rubber a bit. Ellen Kenney and Halina Wood were just leaving; apparently the show was a knock-out! Helen Larrabee, Marion Lynch, Anna Zamchalk and Gale Hulett were playing in the orchestra—we couldn’t see what they were playing but Marion Lynch had a piece of paper on a comb and it rather looked as though Gale were trying to lead it, the orchestra. The feature picture was on! It was a story of a wild, bucollic (k)night and his layde fair and a fierce steed—a dirty villain, etc. We noticed Helen Parry, Daisy Vogel, Raymond Landon and Carl Krissel forming a very neat back¬ ground for the leads. Kenneth Greene was especially noticeable as the one who gets splattered.” After the heart-gripping, realistic por¬ trayal of human life in the muddy waters of the Susquehanna river bank, by the way, in the picture, Kay Townsend was sitting pensively by a stream writing pomes—but, as I was saying, when the war began— after this thrilling narrative came the comedy. The only persons we knew in the comedy were Raymond Jarvis and William McGinnis, the Page Eighty-five PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 thrower and the throwatter of the usual custard pie (this time a la mode!). Oh, we forgot to say that Perry Fisher was the director of the super-feature and Rose Quinlivan, the costumer and designer of Oddie’s clothes. Ruth Robertson was the author of the comedy. About this time the manager of the theater came to escort us out, because the comedy had affected us too historically. The manager was Nelson McLoud, with his assistant, Reba Marshall, and his associates, Rosa¬ mund Herron and Wylda Hawley. They apparently wanted us to leave, so we did! Ed stumbled over Lucy Smith’s umbrella on the way out. When we finally arrived on the outside we saw Gertrude Williams and Kathleen Sullivan buying tickets and advised them to get their money back before they went in. That rather annoyed Bertha Kessler, the ticket agent, and Paul Tarpley, the president of the theater company. Finally, we held a little inventory and found that we had seen every¬ body. This brought us to the conclusion that our visit was not in vain and also to the conclusion of our narrative. So we sat ourselves down with a sigh of relief and we were glad. We were glad that we were us and we were glad that we hadn’t under¬ taken the Class Prophecy back in ’27 because nobody had turned out as anybody expected. Suddenly we noticed a small sign on the bench on which we were sitting which read—no, not “wet paint”, but— “God Bless Twenty-seven.” Signed—The Class Profits. Page Eighty-six j PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 last Mill anb Ccstanipnt Sheila Nelson We, the Seniors of the Central High School of the city of Bingham¬ ton, County of Broome, State of New York, being aware of the ap¬ proaching end of our high school life, and in failing health (at the thought of the College Board of Exams), but of sound mind and mem¬ ory, do make and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, in the manner following, to wit: Firstly: We give, devise, and bequeath to our poor relations—the Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen—the entire estate of B. C. H. S. which one might opine, state, or declare to be as an empire, and to consist in the manner following, and to wit: Firstly: The Highlands, which is made up of the countries, regions, and territories of Latina, Mathematica, Scientia, Langua, and Ars-Artis, and which may be described as follows: Gaul is divided into three parts, 304, 305, and 305a. The triumvirate, headed by Caesar, orders diligent study and at¬ tention to business in this country. Mathematica consists of Geometrica and Algebra, in various stages of development. Sophomores conceive such an attach¬ ment to Geometrica that they return to that region year after year. Scientia especially intrigues the Juniors into bending over desks and into trying to pull rabbits, or conclusions, or such¬ like from glass tubes. In Langua, many and valiant students of all ranks rush to and fro with furrowed brows, while holding a book in one hand and gibbering with the other. Peculiar markings, evidently pertaining to this gibberish, have been found inscribed on the blackboards there, accompanied by profiles, full-faces and ini¬ tials. Ars-artis feminine art is decorated with living pictures in various studious postures. Secondly: The Middle-lands, described as follows: Domestica is inhabited by a bevy of fair Penelopes. Genoa, labelled 219, is honored by indistinguishably regular or special meetings of the League of the G. 0. Historica and Civica can better be described as Lotus-Land. Page Eighty-seven PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 (Beware the northern district. It is an ambnscade of Eng¬ lish rooms. It is wholly a dangerous region, for if one sticks his nose through the doors across the way, on hearing sounds proceed from that direction, he is likely to receive a large sup¬ ply of jeers, jibes, and juicy-fruit). Thirdly: The Lowlands, subsequently described: In the northwest is a large territory filled with books. A hush broods over the place, sometimes broken by loud sneezes. This country is flanked by a shrine to Orpheus from which, at sundry times, come babblings of moonlight and Sherry. To the northeast is St. Peter’s Sentry Box where trembling students await their verdict. Farther eastward one passes into an even darker and more fearsome region where every St. George is vanquished. Then one emerges into the bright and sunny regions of Valhalla! The territory, numbered 106, closely resembles Versailles, although some have mistaken it for the Klondike. Another musical group inhabits the southland, clicking black letters from black machines. In the west is 119, Ye Olde Stamping Grounde. In the center is the Forum where students come to attention so quickly! Below even the Lowlands is the Subway; so named because, in the noon-day rush, students are always trying to find sub¬ way to get out. This region is honored, however, by containing the office of the panting, perspiring Panorama-preparers. In back is the Inadequate Gym. (We hope you get another before your time is up). Lastly: Owing to the immaturity of said underclassmen, we do hereby nominate and appoint John F. Hummer administrator and trustee without bonds, together with his worthy assistants. In Witness Whereof, we, the Seniors, to this our last will and testa¬ ment, have hereunto set our hand and seal, this fair June day, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven. Witnessed by Published and declared by Dr. John Kelley, Testator Sheila Nelson. Mr. N. V. Taylor. CODICIL Whereas we, the Seniors, did, on a fair day in June, nineteen hun¬ dred twenty-seven, make our last will and testament, we do now, by this writing, add this Codicil to our said will, to be taken as a part thereof. We do bequeath and bestow upon the teachers of B. C. H. S. our profoundest commiserations on having on their hands the said miserable and wretched Juniors, Sophomores, and Freshmen. Page Eighty-eight PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 The Constitution By Jefferson F. Meagher . The story of man’s struggle for freedom dates from the threshold of recorded time. The spirit of liberty has ever been at war with the “divine right of kings”; and yet, century after century, tyranny and oppression have flourished, while Liberty has wandered homeless in a world created fre e. Now and again, we glimpse her in some distant quarter of the earth, bestowing her blessings on a favored people, but ever her right dis¬ puted, her home insecure, and her sojourn brief. The sword of the ruler ever gleams again in triumph and Liberty is again disowned. But toward the close of the Eighteenth Century, her cause was championed on a new and virgin soil; a soil set apart, as it were, by the Creator, for the crowning act of that great drama. Here in America, were men whose souls burned with the fire of freedom; men who, thus inspired “fired the shot heard round the world”, and from Concord Bridge, through Valley Forge to Yorktown, bled and died that Liberty might live. The victory won and independence achieved, a still more difficult problem was presented. How shall this dearly purchased liberty be preserved? The Articles of Confederation soon dem onstrated its futility in sustaining the newly-won freedom. Statesmanship was now the need of the hour. In May, 1787, there gathered in a little room in Independence Hall, Philadelphia, already hallowed with sacred mem¬ ories, the wisdom and political conscience of America. Tnto that room went Washington, Franklin, Hamilton, Madison and a group of asso¬ ciates, of a character and ability unparalleled in history. Out of that room, after four months of secret deliberation, of prayerful thought, of spirited debate, of patriotic reconciliation of differences of opinion, came the Constitution of the United States. Well has that document been called the “Citadel of Freedom”, for its base is laid in the bed-rock of Magna Charta and the Declaration of Independence. There had before been liberty without government and government without liberty, but here their proper balance and union had at last been accomplished. The political hopes and aspirations of mankind were now embodied in a written Constitution, which guar¬ anteed to the individual freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, trial by jury, security of person and of property, and placed these rights forever beyond the caprice of government—yes, even beyond the power of a majority of the people themselves to violate or to take away. A distinctive feature of our Constitution is its preservation of local self-government, at the same time creating a strong national power. This feature and the creation of a Supreme Court have been the chief causes of our wonderful growth and progress. The Supreme Court Page Eighty-nine PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 lias well been termed “the living voice of the Constitution ”, for it is the final interpreter of the meaning of that great document. It is the “key-stone of the arch”, without which the whole structure would crumble. It guards the sacred heritage bequeathed to us by the fathers and upon its independence and wisdom rests the happiness of millions yet unborn. One hundred thirty-nine years have passed over the mill-wheel of time since the adoption of this immortal document, and behold, a mighty nation of one hundred twenty million people, prosperous and happy, under the Constitution for which Lincoln wept and died. Since that day, this nation has withstood both internal and external strife; the world has been shaken to its center by the greatest cataclysm of all time; thrones have tumbled, and the fiercest of storms have lashed the life of nations to raging seas and dashed the billows to the stars. But like a mighty lighthouse, the Constitution of the United States, ever illumining the troubled waters with its rays of liberty and justice, has stood “Constant as the northern star, Of whose true-fix’d, and resting quality, There is no fellow in the firmament.” Surely there can be no greater proof of its excellence and perfection. And yet there are today those who would subvert this “Palladium of Liberty” by undermining the very foundations upon which it rests. There are those, who, to meet the problems of the hour, would change the very structure of our government; who would substitute the Con¬ gress for the Judiciary, a national bureaucracy for local self-govern¬ ment, uniformity for freedom of opinion and of conscience, forgetful of the great enduring principles upon which our government was founded and in adherence to which it has grown in power and majesty and commanded the admiration of the world. But let us remember, as stated by President Coolidge, that “the Constitution is not self-perpetuating.” Its spirit must abide in the hearts and minds of the people. It is ours to honor, to cherish and to support. In the Halls of Parliament, before this nation was born, Edmund Burke, speaking of the destiny of America, uttered these memorable words: “A great empire and little minds go ill together. If we are conscious of our nation, and glow with zeal to fill our place as becomes our station and ourselves, we ought to auspicate all our public proceedings on America with the old warning of the Church, Sursum corda! We ought to elevate our minds to the great¬ ness of that trust to which the order of Providence has called us.” Let us then life up our hearts, elevate our minds to the greatness of our trust, attune our souls to the music of the Constitution, and march on to higher things.

BELLE CARVER Sophomore Dean opi)omore Class! This year the Sophomore Class has equaled the standard attained by Sophomore classes of former years, and in fact has bettered it by the splendid work in scholarship, athletics, music and banking. We are very proud of the record of the latter activity because we, the Sopho¬ more Class of 1927, were the first class in the history of the school to obtain 100% in banking. Here may we thank our teachers, our dean, and also the pupils who worked so diligently to attain so high a record. Our class is represented well in athletics as shown by the number of students on the football, baseball, swimming, tennis, track, and soccer teams. We have been represented well also in Public Speaking con¬ tests and in plays given by the Dramatics classes. We hope that we have set a good example for the incoming Sophomores and feel that in this way we have done our bit for B. C. H. S. this term. Even though we look forward to being Juniors with new thoughts on our minds, we shall not forget the good old times we had as Sophomores.

HENRY Central Junior School Dean Central junior ikfjool The Good Ship—Centra] Junior School—pulled safely into port, after an interesting, varied, and successful first year trip. In the fall of 1926 the Freshman Class of B. C. H. S. became a separate or¬ ganization known as the Central Junior School. The home rooms were organized, and representatives of the home rooms and of departments formed a student council to participate in the management of school activities. Under the guidance of our capable student officers and committees, the year has been crowded full of activities—and achieve¬ ments. An outstanding work has been done by the Service Committees. AVe wanted to have our school a real school home and the service com¬ mittees were very active in helping us get acquainted, in making visits to the homes of those who were ill or in trouble, and in taking or send¬ ing assignments to absentees. The Central Junior School pupils showed their thought for others by their excellent response in the Florida and Mississippi Relief drives. Another feature of the w ork of the service committees was their plan for pupil hosts and hostesses. They worked to bring more parents to school that the parents might become better acquainted with our school life. Our banking was a real achievement! AVe accomplished what was seemingly impossible, reaching 100% early in the term and keeping there most of the weeks following. b eeling that pupils should take a more businesslike attitude toward school the council carried on an attendance drive to help us realize our responsibility toward our work. b or a long time the light lockers were open only at short intervals Page One Hundred Ten PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 in the morning. This was a cause of great inconvenience to students. Now, however, the lockers are open all day, the council having planned locker supervision by the pupils themselves. We feel this to he a step forward. Another important accomplishment was our activity chest drive. Prior to this drive the Junior School had no funds for the rising needs. After the drive, culminating in a tag day with the student council members selling the tags, and the entire school nobly supporting, there was enough in our treasury to support our activities. Our scholarship record has been an enviable one. The first quarter of the past term there were 48 high honors, the second, 58, and the third, 6 2. Over one-third of the school has been on the honor roll regularly this year. One of the aims of our organization is to have everyone participate in one or more of the school activities. This aim is reached through inter-room activities. This year there were spelling matches held in the home rooms, the winners of home room championships meeting in the finals. The gi rls held an inter-room volleyball tournament under the direction of Mrs. Hamlin, and the boys held a foul-shooting contest. Great interest has been manifested in public speaking. Two con¬ tests have been held, one for girls and one for boys. A sliort-story con¬ test was planned by the literary committee of the council. And we haven’t been behind in athletics! We may be still in the growing stage but we’re doing things worthy of a man’s stature. In interclass basketball, the Freshmen beat the Seniors in the last game, throwing them out of first place. The swimming team won two out of three interclass meets. The track team won class G relay and the high score trophy in the first annual Southern Tier Track and Field Cham¬ pionship. The girls, though they have not had the opportunity to show it, are right up with the boys. The girls had splendid hockey, volley¬ ball, and baseball teams, and a fine basketball team. Sophomores, Juniors, Seniors—We are just beginning to do things! CENTRAL JUNIOR SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Page One Hundred Eleven Junior School Student Council OFFICERS President .

Henry (Ex-officio) Miss Fox Miss Wilber Miss Hillis Miss Merithew Mr. Schuster Central Junior School Assemblies One of the most outstanding features of the Junior School this past year was the weekly assembly. Many of the assemblies represented the work of the various activities and departments of the school. The Public Speaking, Literary, Health Education, Music, Science and Art Departments have presented programs. Teachers and pupils repre¬ senting the activities presided. Another feature of the assemblies was the emphasis on scholarship. Every quarter the G plus honors were introduced to the school, and served as an inspiration to the rest of us to measure up. Vocational Guidance was emphasized. Mr. Cooper, a lawyer, spoke to us on “Law”, and Miss Carpenter spoke on “Journalism, as a Vocation.” International problems were brought close to us in an excellent ad¬ dress on the “Chinese Puzzle,” by the Rev. Lloyd S. Ruland, a former missionary to China. Armistice Day was observed “Lest we forget,” and in the Christ- Page One Hundred Thirteen PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 mas Assembly a playlet, “A Bachelor’s Reverie”, with a background of Christmas hymns, made us feel the real spirit of Christmas. Of the many interesting and varied programs we have had, two were exceptionally good: “Living Pictures”, given by the Art Department, and “The Toy Shop”, given by the girls of the Health Education classes. The Art Department, under Miss Holcomb, presented a series of “living pictures” representing seven famous paintings of different schools, posed by students in costume. Each picture was introduced by a brief talk descriptive of the artist and the painting. During each pose, Tracy Markert of the Music department furnished music appro¬ priate to the picture. “The Pot of Basil”.Artist, John W.

The scene was the interior of a toy shop just before midnight on Christmas Eve. On the stroke of twelve, a fairy, represented by Virginia Fowler, touched the sleeping toys ' with her magic wand and brought them to life to entertain us with artistic and athletic dances and drills. At the touch of the fairy wand, they again became lifeless toys. Page One Hundred Fourteen PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 NATURE STUDY CLUB Nature Study Club OFFICERS FOR FALL TERM President .

It was won by the hoys, although the best single picture was submitted by a girl, Elizabeth Hagen. The club had a dinner and social evening just before Christmas, to which each member invited a guest. The program for the second term worked out as “Conservation” in a variety of ways. The first was a contest between the girls and boys on “Flower and Bird Identification.” The second was the photographing of sets of views, illustrating conservation and its op¬ posite. Hikes were held Saturday mornings. An all-day outing was held early in June at the home of one of the members, Curtis Andrews, at Kirkwood. Museums were stationed in 314 and 312. A “Conservation” assem¬ bly was held. Donald Hill, our rapid artist, illustrated a talk on “Forests”, by Emma Cooper; one on “Flowers”, by Carol Treyz; and a third on “Good Manners”, by Curtis Andrews. The program ended by the presenting of a playlet written by Karl Wilbur, a club member.

Some sixty-five boys reported for the initial meeting but only forty found it convenient to practice. Because of the large number of boys reporting the squad was divided into two groups, A and B. The A’s, advanced group, met Mondays and Thursdays, and the B’s, beginners, Wednesdays and Fridays. No attempt has been made to produce a school team. The boys on their scheduled days, played seven inning games. Basketball The call for basketball found eighty-eight enthusiasts. This num¬ ber dwindled to approximately fifty regular players. The following team was selected: Forwards.Marian Hardie, Frances Hawkins Center .Priscilla Lappeus, Captain Side Center.Martha Shaw Guards.Carol Treyz, Vernetta Wood Volleyball One of the most important events of the season was the inter-home room volleyball tournament. This was an elimination tournament with eighteen teams entered. Room 309 won the banner and the contest with 304 the runner-up.

PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Auditorium Notes We have not been as fortunate this year in having a great number of speakers as we have had in other years but the speakers that we have had have been exceptionally good and they have left us some in¬ spiring thoughts for the future: “ Beware of success.” “What’s done lives and lives forever. Circumstances are inevi table.” “You cannot deceive nature.” Quoted from Dr. Losey, of Syracuse University. “Even Seniors are fallible.” “The best things are always nearest to us “We all have dreams. It’s the dreams we have when we are wide awake that count.” “He had a goal. He was shooting at something.” “Everything that you are going to be you have locked up in you this morning.” Quoted from Dr. Frank F. dames, of the Chamber of Commerce of Chicago. “The greatest worth of a human being is his worth to his family.” “That eveiy institution was but the shadow of man.”—Emerson. “Life insurance is time insurance.” Quoted from, Dr. Hoebner, Professor of Insurance of Wharton School of Commerce. “Whenever you hear anybody say U am just as good as I was vesterdav’, he is one day behind.” “Every day of my life I read one biography, every day of my life I read one page of the dictionary, every day of my life I read one care¬ fully thought chapter out of the Bible.” “What you want to keep is a growing mind.” “Get out from under your job and ride it.” “Know how to command dear old ‘bill’.” l)r. Grafflin referred to paper money by this quotation. “The longer you’re right the righter you will be.” “Get off the sponge end of life and ride on the spicket end.” Quoted from Dr. Samuel Grafflin, Industrial Director, of the West Side Y. M. C. A. of NHv York, “A. B. C.—always be careful.” Quoted from Mr. St. Onge of Chamber of Commerce—Safety Campaign. Page One Hundred Thirty-two PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Library Notes What are your plans for the summer? Can you travel? Have you seen the Library bulletin boards with their colored views of distant scenes and their travel bulletins giving itineraries and rates for dif¬ ferent trips? If you stay at home why not travel in books? If you would like a sailing trip suppose you take: Pullen—“The Cruise of the Cachelot.” Dana—“Two Years Before the Mast.” Hildebrand—“Blue Water.” London—“The Cruise of the Snark.” Slocum—“Sailing Alone Around the World.” Stevenson—“An Inland Voyage.” You could hardly hope in one summer to see the whole of Europe. Suppose just for this vacation you try to see our own wonderful country in the following books: Bennett—“Your United States.” Clemens—“Life on the Mississippi.” Faris—“On the Trail of the Pioneers.” Hannay—“From Dublin to Chicago.” Wallace—“The Lure of the Labrador Wild.” White—‘ ‘ The Forest. ’ ’ Gibbs—“People of Destiny.” Hungerford—“The Personality of American Cities.” Bacon—“Historic Pilgrimages in New England.” Johnson—“The Picturesque Hudson.” Longstreth—‘ ‘ The Catskills. ’ ’ Morley—“The Carolina Mountains.” Grey—“Tales of Lonely Trails.” Haworth—“Trailmakers of the Northwest.” Mills—“The Rocky Mountain Wonderland.” Roosevelt—“A Book-lover’s Holiday in the Open.” Stewart—“Letters of a Woman Homesteader.” Muir—“The Mountains of California.” Sullivan—“A Woman Who Went to Alaska.” Come in the Library and let us plan a summer itinerary for you. And may we wish you all a pleasant vacation. Exchange Notes “Friendship is a sheltering tree” and so it follows logically that the more friends we have the larger and more sheltering will be our tree. Like the sheltering tree is our Exchange Department, in fact that’s why we have it—to make friends with other schools and their Page One Hundred Thirty-three PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 papers. Every year we make new friends and welcome back old friends. The Exchange Department is one of the most broadening in the entire paper. Through it we get many viewpoints from all sections of our country and in addition from foreign countries, even as far away as the Philippines and China. We send our paper out to all these places, too, with our comments and criticisms and in time we receive criticisms which may be very valuable to us. In addition the Exchange Department establishes a bond between our school and others, something tangible and friendly, so that when we hear of some high school miles and miles away we immediately think, “Why yes, that’s the school whose students write such beautiful poetry,” or “that’s the place where they stage such amusing contests”, or some other intimate and friendly thought. We hope that the tree of our friendship with other schools and their students grows and increases to the mutual enjoyment and benefit of all.

Now everyone who wants a really finished course elects Public Speaking. It is not only a subject for the boy who intends to be a lawyer or the girl who is study¬ ing to teach, but for every boy and girl who ' wants to learn to speak well before a group or even to engage in interesting conversation. The course does more than merely teach people to speak correctly; it is also helpful to those who would be generally well informed. So you see, this department consisting of Public Speaking, Dra¬ matics, and Debate, does fill a very important place in school activity. In the Public Speaking Classes there has been much to work upon. There have been many contests this year, for the Junior School as well as for upper-classmen. The contest most interesting to the school in general was the New York Times Oratorical Contest in which our own Jefferson Meagher won first prize in New York City. It is an achieve¬ ment to which the school can always look with pride. Aside from this there have been the usual contests, the Disinger Original Essay Contest, the Weeks Contest, the Harvard Prize Speak¬ ing Contest, the October Contest, and others. These have given many pupils an opportunity to show their training and skill and to improve by experience. The Dramatics Department is growing rapidly. Last year a second class was added, and this spring a third came into being. The B class studied the technical side of the stage and produced the original one-act play, “Why Education?”, in Assembly during Boys Week. The A class produced “Monsieur Beaucaire” in the fall and “The New Lady Bantock” this spring. The 2A class presented “Icebound” for their fall production and “Winter Dust”, a tragedy, this spring. Under the direction of Dorothy Hotchkin the one-act play ‘ ‘ The Flattering Word ” was produced. After being given at numerous service clubs it received first place in the state¬ wide contest in Ithaca. Louise Smith also received second prize for individual characterization. It is interesting to know that in the four years in which this contest has been held, Binghamton has won two first places and a second. Taken as a whole, this year has been unusually pleasant. In the minds of those who graduate will always be the delightful memories of Dramatics, Mr. Roberts, every member of the class, and the good times enjoyed. For those who are not graduating, we can wish no more than that they enjoy the work as much as we have. There have been three debates this year. First there was the annual Civic Club Debate in which the negative side received the decision. Of the tv o Elmiia debates, Binghamton received the decision in the Boys, and Elmira in the Girls. Page One Hundred Thirty-six PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 Debate seems to be the least spectacular of the Public Speaking ac¬ tivities, yet it requires the most preparation and work. It is a real honor for the girls who wear the Civic Club rings and the boys and girls who can say, “We beat Elmira.” Much of the success in debate this year is due to the efforts of our new instructor, Mr. Madiera, who has ably upheld the standards of former years.

S. and examine its many activities and compare them with those of their day. With the great increase in attendance and the number and diversity of subjects added to the courses since that time they would very likely experience a feeling of bewilderment and of pride. It is right and natural that they should feel proud that their Alma Mater has kept pace with the progress of the times. The Music Department has had its share in this progress. From the small beginning of the usual class choruses to the present system of a four-year course in elementary theory, melody writing and ear drill, harmony, and history and appreciation of music, special chorus, orchestra, band and the various glee clubs and instrumental quartets there has been a steady advancement until we rank as one of the leading high schools in the State in this branch. Back in 1916 Mr. James Sautter organized the special chorus, and the classes in theory, ear drill and harmony, laying the foundation of the work which Mr. Alford Spouse and Mr. Bay Hartley have brought to its present standing. It will also be of interest to those old grads, and more vitally so to the coming classes, to know of a recent communication from the College of Fine Arts, Syracuse University, in which they rate us with nineteen other high schools of the State whose graduates will receive special privileges in the matter of entrance requirements. The letter is quoted in part as follows: “The College of Fine Arts at Syracuse University realizes that some of our strongest high schools are now offering thorough courses in music. At present, graduates of these courses are barred from entering the College of Fine Arts owing to its fixed en¬ trance requirements. The College has, therefore, determined to modify its entrance requirements to graduates of a limited number of high schools, recommended to it by the State Supervisors of Music as doing an exceptional grade of work in this subject.” Regular Requirements Music Course Requirements English (4 years) .3 English (4 years) ..3 History or Science .1 History or Science .1 Algebra .1 Plane Geomery.1 Music.1, 2, or 3 One foreign language.2 Academic electives to complete 15 required units. That this honor should come to us in preference to some others vhorn we might expect to find on the list is proof enough that our pride is based on recognized merit. We must acknowledge a debt of grati¬ tude to the splendid instructors that have made this department one of the finest and most complete in the state.

A large number of contests have been held this year, and the Art students have done much to help outside or¬ ganizations. Among the poster contests which have been held are the “Winter Dust Poster’’, “The New Lady Bantock”, “Icebound”, Music Festival, and “Monsieur Beaucaire”; and outside of school the Labor Poster and Spaulding Advertisement. The Art Department also had charge of the program of “Living Pictures” which was prepared and presented first for the Central Junior School but was given later in Upper Class Assembly. For the success of the Art Department this year, B. C. H. S. owes a great deal of thanks to the highly efficient direction of Miss Holcomb and the valuable advice of Mr. Doty.

The splendid co-operation of Friday’s members, the wise guidance of our president, Cecile Griffin, and the willing support of our faculty advisers have brought us to the close of a very successful year. The Fall Initiation was held in October at “Your Home Library”, Johnson City. In December, the annual essay contest given by Friday Club for the Eighth Grade girls of the city was won by Anna Schulman of Abraham Lincoln School. During the basketball season, Friday Club girls had complete charge of the checking room. In March the Spring initiation was held. The Friday-Lit basketball game, held in April, was won by Friday Club with a score of 18 to 5. The Friday-Congress plays given in May were a great success. The judges unanimously decided that Friday Club was the winner. There is some fine talent in both clubs, as evidenced by these performances. The annual banquet, held at the Kalurah Country Club, marked the climax of a successful season. The banquet was attended by fifty members, both honorary and active. The meetings on every Friday afternoon have been varied and en¬ tertaining. The programs have included such speakers as Miss Hooten, Mr. Williams and Mr. Hummer. There have been splendid musical numbers including the male quartet, Friday’s orchestra, and Dick} ' Rush. It is the sincere desire of all Friday’s members that history will re¬ peat itself and that next year will be as enjoyable and successful as this year has proved to be.

Carl Titus was chosen to succeed Radford Smith as president. With Carl as president, a bright year looms before us. Rad deserves much credit for lifting the club to the height which it now holds. The Hi-Y now takes its place as one of the most interesting institutions in school. The purpose of Hi-Y has succeeded to create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. At our suppers on Tuesday evenings we enjoyed some of the best speakers and entertainers in the vicinity. Some of them are: W. T. Hunt, J. B. Wiles, Richard L. Schuster, E. R. Weeks, Frank Cizek, Daniel Hall, George Cummings, Will Baer, Ernest Young, Roy S. Pater¬ son, Jay Gregory, W. S. Hogg, Harold Tolley, and Loyal Greenman.

Well I guess! She just went right over the top. This was due to the readily offered suggestions and assistance of her faculty advisers, Miss Carpenter and Miss Wilber, and her very capable president, Mary Alice Brownlow. We started out by selling candy which, of course, was successful. Later we initiated new members who have proved themselves helpful to Literary Club. One night in February a few “Lit” girls gave the one-act play “Station Y YY Y”, by Booth Tarkington, which “went over” very well. At one meeting Rev. Lloyd S. Ruland spoke to us on a few “Customs of the Chinese”. He also touched upon the political situation prevalent in China at the present time. We all enjoyed it, and gained some help¬ ful information from it. At another meeting Miss Madeline Hooten reviewed the hook, “What Literature Can Do for Me”, by C. Alphonso Smith.

To go way back to last fall, you may recall that Congressmen served as ushers in the reserved seat sections at football games. They also sold plumes for the U. E. game and thus added funds to the G. 0. Treasury. During the spring term many new members were initiated. The grammar school speaking contest turned out to be a great success. This contest, an annual event, develops the speaking talent of the coming Freshmen. The play contest with Friday Club resulted in a victory for Friday Club. As many of our members are graduating this June, a member¬ ship drive has been inaugurated, which we hope will be successful. A dance, a banquet and an initiation have been planned and will be all over before the Annual comes out.

The Spring term opened with a boom and Chamber of Commerce went on making friends. At the first meeting many new members were brought in. At this meeting the club was given a treat in the form of a talk by Mr. Edwin Weeks. The annual banquet, an event to which we always look forward, was held May 12, at the Elks’ Roof Garden. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Royi Whipple. Mr. Hummer, another guest of the club, also spoke to us. An interesting program was presented which included a prophecy of those present. As a fitting climax of these jolly times the annual picnic was held in June.

Along with the fun, however, they have worked. Several interesting initia¬ tions, at least they were interesting (!) to the candidates, were held. As to good times, there was a toboggan party, a Christmas party, which everyone enjoyed, and finally a mother’s meeting which the mothers of the girls attended. As we said before, Dom Econ has worked, too. The girls tied a quilt which was given to a deserving family and twice during the year peanuts were fried and sold to aid the finances of the Club.

H. S. has just enjoyed one of its most prosperous years, prosperous in every sense of the word. The scope of athletics is widening constantly and nowhere is this more noticeable than right in our own school. Every season brings more and more evidence of the rapid progress of sports in B. 0. H. S. Most remarkable in the trend of advancement is the unusual num¬ ber of students availing themselves of the various branches of sports. This was particularly evident in football and track. Another feature of the past year is the large number of athletes who participated in two and sometimes three different activities. This can prove nothing but that the popularity of sports is an ever-increasing asset of the school. Our records are but one of the many things of which we must be proud. In addition to an overcrowded trophy case we have the best coaching staff in recent years, better equipment, more participants, better patronage, and financial independence. In general, athletics has accomplished more than ever before. Best of all, we “beat U.-E.” Therefore, reviewing the events of these few short months behind us, we can say sincerely and proudly— “Well done, (), Blue and White.” Football—1926 Conches .Richard L. Schuster, Herbert Nichols Arthur J. Harvey Manager .Robert Shinners Captain .Matthew Egan With the addition of Coach Schuster, football suddenly spurted into life back in September, and went through one of the most spectacular seasons in the history of B. 0. II. S. The team hung up the enviable record of completing the season without a single defeat. The boys met their hardest opposition in Auburn where they were unable to score, but this was only the exception to prove the rule that “ B. C. H. S. can’t he heat.” The results of last season indicate that football is within the reach of everyone and that more success is hound to follow in the wake ot our latest conquest.

In spite of three consecutive losses at the very beginning, the team finally hit their stride and before long were playing their usual brand of basketball. Mr. Greenman worked the squad into shape and the boys responded with several decisive victories. Considering the length of the season and other handicaps, the boys did all that was expected and more. Interclass basketball was more active than usual with a large number of followers. The Juniors covered themselves with glory by winning over the three other classes.

An interclass meet, won by the Seniors, began the action and from then on, the season was a series of victories. Awards of all kinds came to the boys themselves and a number of trophies to the school through their efforts. The relay team is worthy of no little praise for their unusual services. This team consisted of Brooker, Ingraham, Jarvis, and Mangan.

Unfortunately, however, their spring session is now in full swing and the reports are not yet ready for this publication. Their latest efforts show, nevertheless, that tliev are in just as good form as last Fall.

Page One Hundred Eighty-four PANORAMA ANNUAL, 1927 JUNIOR VARSITY FOOTBALL SQUAD GIRL SPORTS This is the end of an epochal year in girls athletics; for this is the first year that varsity teams have actually been abolished. For a time, the girls couldn’t get used to not meeting girls from other schools, but after a while the interclass rivalry and spirit became so great that they did not miss the inter-school contests. After all, the big girls’ colleges don’t have inter-collegiate games and our high school can surely be as collegiate as the colleges. The results of the various sport seasons find the Seniors as the athletic champions of the school—if such a term may be used. The champion in each sport is as follows: Hockey . .

There were so few Juniors and Sophomore B’s out that they had to combine to have a full team. Also, because of “muddy waters” on the park “diamond” the scheduled games were postponed. When the season finally got started, there were some good games and perhaps, more excitement than science.

The hockey team is necessarily larger than any other one but there were a great many ‘‘subs” present at every game and anxious to take even a small part. The hockey spirit and pep is always high in B. 0. H. S. and it was a hard, hard struggle for the Seniors to win the trophy,—“the little trinket” as our President of 0. (). says.

Any afternoon of this late spring, white-robed girls could have been seen flitting around the tennis courts. They came down to earth more than once, though, and then volleys flew back and forth wildly. Senior 6. Riker, Louise SUBS 1. Bradley, Berenice 7. Mills, Louise Iona Moses, Mary Bentley, 2.

At the first meet there were two teams participating and a correspondingly small number of spectators. The second meet found a good Junior team added to the Sophomores and a great in¬ crease in the talent displayed as well as in the size of the audience. Those who attended the third andJourth meets saw four teams partici¬ pate in some good swimming andi, ?ohih interesting fancy events, among which were Water Baseball, Obstacle Races, and Umbrella Races. To judge by the amount of laughter they caused they were very popular. f . v ; V Mitfdi credit for the success of The season is due to the Sophomore A tpani which won eve y meeffaud by so doing received the cup. Miss Copley, who developed the four teams into good swimmers, also de¬ serves a good deal of praise for her untiring effort and enthusiasm.
