Of course, we miss him dreadfully, because his smil- ing face was a delight to all. Neverthe- less, we gave him up to Uncle Sam without a niurniur, knowing that he was just doing his bit as he saw it. B. G. LEONARD BEYER Every incliviflual has fl. place to fill in the 1l1orZd. B1'Oll4ghIt up in the mountains of Penn- sylvania it is no wonder there is music in his soul. He has the proper respect for the old masters, especially Beethoven. Being of a SCll01Zl.1'ly turn of mind, the musty odor of old volumes is per- fume to his soul, and We imagine that his idea of heaven would be to be turned loose in a large library with unlimited time to Hgobble np all the gems of thought left by our worthy men of let- ters. His only tragic hours are when he 1-umin-ates on the sad lack of appreciation of Walt Wliitnian by the average Ameri can. P. B. LUCILLE BILLINGS Her siature fall-I lmif Il clumpy vvommw.

Kate is a Hbroadl' person, who can see hoth sides of at joke a, heap sooner than she could look through a, stone wall. Fur- thermore, she is an animated interroga- tion point-this trait, We suspect, was acquired during the four lo-ng years she spent teaching in a certain little country school. No one is more welcome at our school gatherings than this sunny, fun loving classmate of ours. K. S. l- . EVELYN FITCH rr A Twinkle in her eye.

G. , EASTER Hows Shy and demurc was she With ci smile like at bright May moral, This sweet maiden of sterling character is loved by each and every one -of us. She is a conscientious student and one of the busiest girls in the Conservatory. We find her a combination of musical talent and business ability. She will leave this school with our highest respect and admiration and We all join in wishing her a most successful future. E.

With the start she has at the present time she should becomeqvery famous. Edith is a peach although most of us haven't had a chance to know her as well as we'd like to. G. H.

Leo spent ra great deal of his young childhood in the nursery which -ac- counts for his bashful Nj disposition! He has done quite a bit of traveling, visiting nearly every state but the state of matrimony. Always -the subject of our tender mercies, is Leo, for we know he is a. good fellow. We all hope that mis- fortune may follow him-but never catch up with him. F. G. 4, IMELDA MfkLONEY Lore is the sweetest thing in lifcf, Our Rusty is certafinly a bright and shining light-she lights the corner under the stairs a good snare of her time. Nevertheless, she manages to accomplish a lot in her piano work. All the boys who chance to look her way, curse their luck 'and bite their nails in Wrath when they see that as usual HE is along. A - B. H. MfXRY NIEEHAN Her rfcry frofwns are fairer for Than smiles of other vzmidmzs are. Mary is sort of pretty, not thart she'd care a rap if she were not, her mind is set-so she says-on loftier things. At least we know she is very fond of her ART , She practices many long hours thereby gaining much strength. Gee, Mary, you are a strong little girl. She is by no means a. grind tho, for she is there when 'it comes to a good time. B. G. . ,,',., at 732' .ogy if , Vue ..-3 , ,fl , V 49.1 it MARY NANBS Always true and loyal. Mary is really a long Way from home as she used to live in Schklov, Russia. She has stud-ied long and hard, and has accomplished much, and will accomplish a great deal more. We certainly have been glad to have her with us, because, altho she is very quiet, she is all that her quiotaltion signi- fies. We wish we could -have known her better. Anyway, you have the -good wishes of your classmates, Girlie. B. G. BETTY RAPLEE She is possessed with thats of the lrritclmz.. ' ' Mrs. Raplee is an ambitious student, very learned in psychology and geology, and upon provocation she can converse fluently concerning these subjects. In short, she is one of our most accom- plished graduates. N. L. f . .nw Y 2115, .Q ff 11 533' , 'bf' ...Q ' .- ' .-714' ff 11'-cf . ,.,f Qvg-... h AQ, ji..

She is one of the most ambitious girls of the class and each DAY is a busy one for her. She certainly can play the piano, and we predict a great future for her, in that direction. That is not Betty 's only accomplishment for she is successful in everything she undertakes. The Senior Class surely is proud to have her as its member and we Wish her suc- cess. E. H. HSOBER, steadfast and dem-ure. Tee is a very conscientious and studious girl, but We must not think of her as always being Miss Sober . No one enjoys a good time or appreciates a. joke any better than this classmate. But oh! just come into a dictation class about the time Mrs. Rodgers says, Now for some two-part exercises -and if it is possible for anyone to look more 'fsober thlafn a judge -just watch Catherine and see if she doesn't live up to her name. Good Luck to you and when teaching, just imagine you fare back at I. C. M. giving a lesson in hand signs and you will do your best. R. B. Hang sm'r0u'!

Lois wasn't satisfied to leave the wild and Wooly lVest to graduate from Mr. Fabbrini in Minneapolis, but came on to Ithaoa for more work. We 'ire mighty glad she did come, tho. Perhaps We'd all lose our hearts, if we knew her better, however, for tho she's a quiet little lady, We've heard that she's a crack shot not only with a gun, but also in the game of hearts. H, H. AGNES Donn ' 'An 11.011031 Imrrrl is rr h fI1gd0?71 in itself. Brown eyes lit up with suninier light rings of a soul so full of summer warmth, so glad, so healthy, sound and clear and whole. The poet has neglected to mention vi- vaciousness, and that is by far Agnes' most apparent characteristic-just ask 'any member of the A1ll'H1'tiF-'ti'10j',i'l ex- press the opinion that Corning is lucky to have engaged this vivaciousness for next year. N. L. W1LLrum WOLFF 'Ullvn are .9on1f'1'inz0s 'nmstcrs of flmir fate. We hope this is true of VVoliiie , but fear he will soon give his fate into another 's keeping. 'tlhfoliliel' has always been noted for his hustling. He hustles out bright and early, hustlcs to class or work as 'the ease may be, and tgen, when his hard d'ay's work is over he hustles to Mabel 's, for you know it would never do to be lalte then-too much perfectly good time would be wasted. NAD1A LANDON ' As thc perfection of art is to conceal art, so the perfection of clcocrncss is to conceal cZcycrncss. Noted for her sentiment, has proven the one bright star of our drama-tic year, showing her versatality in l1er creation of all roles, Shakespearean, vampire, and sweet-country, girl. There is always a charm in Miss Lan- don's roles. It is with sincere regret that her ainny friends learn that Nadia leaves us the coming year to fulfill a more responsible position, but may good luck be hers. FLORENCE WARRINEIK Not what you do, but how you do it, is the test of your capacity. Sleepy is Florence's middle name. She lras loeen known to attend a dinner panty-sleeping from the time dinner is over until refreshments were served late in the evening. Her 'hobby' is -orchestra practice, altho she enjoys calling Mu Phi committee meetings. Florence has a loyal heart and makes friends wherever she goes. She will suc- ceed in whatever she undertakes.

Time was when we eagerly prayed for this day and feverishly reckoned up our counts and abilities, hoping We had enough to become seniors. Conditions have indeed changed. When we leave this building, we realize that we will never see some of our comrades again. We all start on our battle of life. Friends, it is indeed a serious time in our career and yet, what a future lies before us. VVe are living in a great age, in a glorious country and stirring timesg always there is room for trained men and women. Wliieii We lea.ve our school We must remember we are representing her. The eyes of the world are upon us and the worldls opinion of us determines its opinion of her. We must remember that we are not 'born of success. nor is success thrust upon us, but success must 'be achieved. There is a wide -gate of opportunity for each and every one of us, but we cannot wait for op- portunity. We must strive to reach our gate by our own resources. At some time in the lives of most of us, there will be an important crisis which we must meet without hesitation. It will be sudden and unlooked for. Are We going to do the right hing? There is but one Way to prepare for such a crisis. VVe must meet. our troubles and honorably discharge our otices at all times. VVe must lend a helping hand to work for the best inter- ests of those with whom we are concerned. May We all be successful and may each of us add something to the world is good and a 'bit more lustre to the name of OLD I. C, M. FREDERIC GREEN. The Class History As I sit by the cozy tire, listening to the gentle April rains, I think of the day we entered upon our career in the conservatory. INe stood in awc of the seniors, each one thinking to himself, HI-Iow proud I shall be when I finish my coursen, but now that We ourselves are seniors it is not so with most of us, for we realize only too well how much there is yet to learn and how little we know. It has been our great privilege to study in a school which has as its president Mr. Egbert., whom every- body loves. In Olll' Freshman Year, Miss Ruth Meyers was our adviser, proving very capable, though we evidently did not respond well to her efforts as the seniors willed us that year a 'barrel of turpentine to take -oft the green paintw. Mrs. Broughton was courageous enough to take charge of the class during the next year, doing all in her power to incite enthusiasm. VVith -her coopera- tion we -gave a dance which was well patronized. In -our Junior Year we became more am-bitious, -giving two dances which proved very successful. Be- fore the close of that year we gave ia. ball in Conserva- tory Hall to the Honorable Seniors. Our Senior Year, the class, with Mrs. Rodgers as our very efficient adviser, naturally reached the height of activities. We realized that we must be a L'Live Wll'G77 as an example to the under classmen. Vtfe elected the following members as Class Officers: Frederic. Green-P resident. Elizarbeth Smith-Vice President. Helen Harrison-Secretary. Leonard Beyer-Treasurer. During the year we gave two dances. Every Tues- day afternoon after rehearsal one of our members shouted up and down the corridors, Sandwiches! Have a sandwich? The funds of the treasury were thereby greatly increased. During the latter part of the second term we lost. one of our members, Henry Bassett, who enlisted in the Navy, though two more were gained in the early part of the year, when Twila Kitch and Margery Grannis, both of whom had studied elsewhere, joined us for their 'Senior Year. As I think of our class as a. body, I also think -of in- dividuals: our worthy president, for instance, some- times gruclgingly snatched a. few minutes from his practice, to take a short spin in the car. There was Betty Smith, who 'always did prefer day to night. Wheri I think of Helen, our class motto, Sue- cess , comes to me. Leonard Beyer nrmly believed that Study is Unending . Po-or f'Tobey , who Was always on time to classes, took things so seriously, while Ruth Butler never Worried. Cleora Greene never could decide which she liked 'better-Automobiles or Aeroplanes. Have you decided yet, Cleora? And Gertrude Hitftl one 'man alright! Then there was a person who Never 'never missed class meeting, Leo Lynch. If the shortline station' is as attractive at Auburn as it. is here, it's no wonder Beulah G. enjoys her Weekly trips there, It seems as tho' I can still hear Gene raving about My Man . Mrs. Furey and Mrs. Raplee kept up the dignity of the class. P-aul Brake Was certainly most thoughtful this winter when he suggested send- ing flowers to Gladys when she was ill. Mary Nanes7 chief delight seemed to be walking a trestle at mid- night, while Gladys Burdick loved to play the part of Cinderella , Gladys, did you ever get your shoes from Nevvfield'? The rain is now 'beating harder and the fire burns dimly so I must end my musings, hoping each and every senior will attain what We have chosen for our class motto, '4Success'7. KIXTE ELLIOT.

True, each year a class is heralded Forth from class-room to the World, And the instructors, quite elated, See their teaching there unfurled. But no class before has ever For so high a standard tried, Here their work has reached its zenith, And their hearts are filled with pride. Now, as we stand 'before the future, Witli its portals shining bright, We turn with fast and fading ardor And look tbaek-just for tonight. Back at our school days-Oh, so happy, Back at our teachers-fond and true, Back at our schoolmates-loved so dearly, Back at the dear old buildings, too. But while before these visions We stand transiixed and still, A voice is heard in the distance Summoning us forth with a will, So we turn from this idle dreaming And our eyes from familiar halls To say to the school of our gleaning Farewell, for duty calls. D-ear teachers, we will miss you, As o'er the world we roam, Dear class-rooms, we'll recall you At morning, night and noon, Dear comrades al-l, be staunch and true, And though we 'all must part, Our Alma Mater binds us firm In mind and soul and heart. Twmi KITCH '18 Class Oration According to the laws of Nature, it is Springg and according to the habits of mankind, Spring 'brings with it Commencement, and according to traditions, Commencement is accompanied by Class-day pro- grams, which in their turn are the direct cause of many treatises, similar to this. Therefore, this is an evolution from the laws of Nature , and, like others of its kind, must attempt to apply these laws to the present time. So let us think of Commencement itself. Customary usage implies by t'Commencement , the ending or finishing of our school life, but Nature says that it is, rather, the 'beginning-the beginning of Life 's school. Wliy 'must there be a Commencement, you ask? Be- cause Life holds a purpose, set before us as a goal- and was ever any contest waged which had no start- ing point-no commencement? I say con-test, for Life is a continual contest between the powers of Right and VVrong5 the goal ahead is Uour tomorrow and the future of those who follow us'7, and into this contest, whether we wish it so or not, each one of us must enter. As in every contest, whether it be race or battle, all participants must be trained, and so by Life we are trained' for its battles. In this training camp we in- cur overwhehning debts to our parents, our teachers and our friends-all striving to make our battles a bit easier-working for our Hfuturem as well as their tomorrow'l. In this camp we continue from infancy until Commencement, or until we are ready to go over the top . Once over the top, we are, really, beginning, and here, likewise, the elimination begins. Many there are who go through the preliminaries or training, successfully, but who, in the next. big test, fall by the wayside. Perhaps some lack those nece-s- sary physical or mental endowments, but far more are eliminated because of the lack of sufficient mor-al courage. NVhen the first big commands come-these, afraid of themselves, or at least unwilling to trust themselves, fail to respond and soon find themselves among those dropped from the contest, while their friends and' companions push ahead through UNO- man 's land toward the ultimate goal. It is in these finals-the desperate struggles in UNO- man's landn, that the most severe tests are made. Falling onee, the eall comes again to get to our feet, have courage, and struggle onward. How are we to answer that call? The goal is in sight, if we fail now, it is lost, but if we conquer our doubts and fears-if we conquer ourselves-what can we not do? True, we may fall again, 'but each time we rise we will find ourselves wiser and more keenly ready to ward off the 'next blow. Each small victory means something 'bet- tered for ourselves and hum-anity-one more step to- ward the inal goal. We, the class of 1918, have adopted as our motto, one word, which means the attainment of a purpose or 'tthe arrival at a. goaln-namely-'LSueeessn. Therefore, since Life's goal is Hour tomorrow and the future of those who follow us -let us make our class an individual goal, as members on the side of Right- HA Better Tomorrow and A Better Future. H HELEN F. ITARRISON.

A f 1 The members of the Senior Class of 1918 appeared before me this day, May 20th, 1918, and solemnly swore th-at this was the last will and testament of the Senior Class of the Ithaca Conservatory of Music, City of Ithaca, Tompkins County, State of New York. BEULAH H,XRKNESS. 4 R?-?.'X lg? . ,,, ' -q f .1 2' - .ff- y 021-P sf, 1 I , . . . X , ,ci Es, -fr Class Prophecy It was a cold winter evening, and having kindled a tire on the hearth, I had se-ated myself for an evening's repose. In-cidentally I had taken the old class book from a shelf, and as I leafed the pages, my mind wan- dered back to the good old days at I. C. M. .and the pleasant memories of my classmates. Suddenly, it. seemed as if the fire glowed tbrighter and a little man, clad in a 'brilliant cloak, l-eaped from the flames. Turning toward me, with an impetuous glance, he pointed his wand at the flames and, raising his tiny voice, commanded me to look. To my surprise, there appeared in the flames the Jumbo Theater on the corners of Front and Girard Avenues, Philadelphia. A large poster, at the en- trance, announced Beulah Harkness starring in her latest picture, ttWhic'h Man Will It Be? written by Gladys Burdick, the world's famous scenario writer, and screened by 'fthe Raplee Moving Picture Com- panyn. Instantly the scene changed, showing the interior, and I was surprised to discover at the ticket window Kate Elliot, who seemed to be having her usual suc- cess selling tickets. Opposite the ticket win-dow was a sign advertising Jo-hnson's Fancy Creams , and behind the counter I recognized the familiar face of our old friend, for- merly Miss Gertrude Hitt. Now the flames flashed and I saw the Theater orches- tra with Leo Lynch as violinist and director. Then it appeared as if I came out of the Theater and on the opposite side of the street I noticed a large sign advertising Mary Meehan, famous pianist and in- structor. All seemed to fade and the little man, waving his wand, pointed again at the fire. This time I 'beheld the familiar scene of a County Fair. To my sur- prise, reared on a high platform, was Erva Landis drawing a large crowd by 'her Election Campaign Speech. Next, I saw the interior of a side show, where hun- dreds of people were seated, listening to Ruth Butler, the famous vaudeville singer, who seemed to have aged considerably. Suddenly, a man, rather tall, but bent 'by age, came down the aisle, yelling at the top of his voice, HPea- nuts, Popcorn and Candy , which seemed a CinchH of a job for such a large man as Fred Green. The auto race track now appeared and I saw Lu- cille Billings winning the race of the day, driving a large twelve cylinder 'fTl1omas racer. After the race, the band, con-ducted by Mr. Be-yer, struck up a brilliant Overture from the Opera, 'tSend- ing Gladys Carnations , recently composed by Paul Brake. The next vision that I s-aw in the names was a High School Gymnasium, and Agnes Dorn was busily train- ing a group of girls. The little man of the flames waved his wand once more towards the Ere, which seemed to die down for an instant and then, flashing up, it showed an old man sitting by the sea shore. He was holding on his knee a small boy, evidently his grandson, and seemed to be telling him of his days as a sailor during the 'rGreat VVar7'. IvVho do you suppose it was? Henry Bassett. The scene of the sea still continued -and the mighty waves dashed upon the rocks. Then I saw a group of men and one was pointing to an old shack near by. He was telling his companions of an old man by the name of Wolff who lived there and that people said he had gone Batty7 l. The next scene was of Coney Island and there stood Geraldine Furcy eagerly watching 1Miar'tha Tobey carrying Imelda Maloney on a tight rope stretched from the towers of Luna Park to Steeple Chase. They were attired in tights of blue and gold which showed they were still loyal to I. C. M. Now the busy streets of New York City loomed up in the flames and I recognized Mary Nanes entering her studio on Fifth Avenue. In Aeolian Hall was Edith Kimple, who was mak- ing her debut as a pianist. At the Metropolitan Opera House, which now ap- peared in the flames, Margery Grannis was making the hit -of the season, playing the leading ro-le of a VVa.g- narian Opera. I discover-ed Florence W'arriner who looked happy, seated in the 'audience with a tall light haired man. On one of the streets, several Carpenters were busily at work constructing a large Auditorium, un- der the supervision of Miriam Heimb-ach. At the steamship docks, I noticed Easter Howe, eagerly Watching for t'The First Ship in from Ber- lin . As the scene changed to Bellevue Hospital, I saw Twila. Kitch, arm in arm with a Canadian Officer, who had evidently just returned from the front. In one of the crowded wards was Regenia Schiller, attired in Aa nursef's uniform, patiently attending va wounded aviator. The next scene was a farm somewhere in New J er- sey, and Cleora Greene stood in the doorway talking to a book agent, who proved to be our old friend and class mate, Beulah Garrett. The flames flashed and the little man of the iire at- tracted my attention to a vision of old Ithaca. Many changes had taken place at the Conservatory. Miss Landon was head of the HLandon School of Expres- sion , which was formerly The Williams School. Miss Brennan had become one of the leading piano teachers and Miss Sober was at the head of the Public School department. Martha. Crowell still lived in Ithaca. She had mar- ried a Lieutenant and it wasntt First Lieut. or Sec- ond Lieut., 'but Salute M'ctCracken . At the Lyceum Theater Miss Helen Harrison was playing in f'Excuse Men. It was the scene of a rail- road station. A former D., L. 85 W. ticket agent was playing the part of a soldier leaving for duty. Just as he was bidding her farewell on the rear platform of the coach the train pulled out, never stopping for three days. C635 Just at this instant the little man of the flames leaped from my side into the fire, and as he vanished there was such a great explosion that I jumped from my chair. I was dazed for a moment, not knowing where I was or what had happened, but soon realized that all had been a. dream, and a very pleasant one, indeed. ELIZABETH SMITH. , lt! li. qi! ,.
