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.

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 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
