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 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 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
