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 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! !

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.

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
