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! !

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 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
