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.

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.

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.

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.

C. H. S. Page Twenty-eight

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 •
