SENIOR KNOCKS 45 GENEVIEVE STONE, Jebby Jenny Patsy Je-bby Stone, Sweet Genevieve, The sweetest girl alive, Has won our hearts by her sweet smile- I fear We'1l not su1'vive! Everyone in High School Has .come to know her well- In skating, dancing, making friends, She surely does excel. Debating from Assembly Stage, Or writing prize essays, Shels sure to carry 0E first prize, So may she do always! HELEN WARENA STONE EDWIN H. STRUNK, Buzz Bub Well, here is our little busy bee, 'buzzing around as usual. At first we seriously thoug'ht of omitting l1i111 for we e0u4ldn't lind him even with a inieroseope. Evidently f'Buzz had the same idea of omission, or perhaps he prefered to entrust himself to the tender mercies of the Annual Board rather than those of his friends. At any rate we were requested to perform the ceremonies. First and foremost, Bulb has worked until he is but a. shadow of his former self, trying to solve problems so that his name will not appear on Miss Ashton's night school roll call. In a way he has succeeded and as a result has not spent more than five nights a week correcting papers. As hero extraordin- ary of the Dramatic Club, Miss Kelly has seen fit to award Buzz the eroekheted piano. Taxnen ad astra per ardua, Buzz. 77 BERTHA SULLIVAN, 'tBert HBertie T-hose lovely eyes and soft brown hair- To whom do they belong? That silv'ry voice-1 hat laugh so elear- Wlio sings that sweetest songil 'Tis Bertha. Sullivan, her voice Is known throughout the towng She's jolly, and shefs full of pep, And never wears a frown. Slhe works real hard, but that 's not all, For HBert'l does like her fun. So, if you want an all-round girl, Take Bertha Sullivan.

THF ITHACA HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL EDITH SLIGHTS, ttSlightsy ' ' t' Patel' There is within this class A girl to be esteemed, Of greatest human intellect We mortals ever dreamed. For honor of this school She sure has done her share. We know from sad experience Her type is very rare. LOIS .SMITH Patsie Vivian Martin?-Anita Webb?-No!-Lois Smith. Smith? Well, I don't know-not so good. Lois? That 's all right. But hark! I must start off on that usual repertoire. QSoft musiej. Lois has been with us four years and has been the little sunshine of old I. H. S. QA dime is dropped from the balcony by an admirerj. Her merry laughter will be missed in the halls when she leaves us to ascend the hill tif she doesn't decide to take the popular P. GJ. She will never more be with us Qunless a pink slip comes from Davy after the first terinj. All I can say, as one ciompliment to Patsey, it is surely to our gain and Gornellls loss that she has chosen such a brave and sacrificing future. Amidst a peel of applause and a shower of onions-peeled-we take our leave. HOVVARD DEL. SNYDENR, Shyd t'Jack Shorty Here's a fellow we all know. He has been around High School for four long years. Snyd is a corporal in the Eighth Squad, Oo. I, of High School Cadets. By virtue f the office he became leader of t Awkward S uad ich has been given the unique nam of ' Snyderls ava Snipersf' Many of us no doubt are fa il' with Ja ' it e 'ttlivver,7' without which Howard' ny trins 'to h 'tbest girl in Cort- land c l , be, maid Snyd,s Freshman year he d hard but the hiee f lowing years he 's been blufiin' ' rough. Can yfuu at it? Hiowever. after his long years o education are over, Howardiexuects to enlist with Var- na's Volunteer Vaudeville Company, vehemently voiced as vig- orously vigilant. All success, old man. RALPH o. SPACE, Hspaceyv Ralph came to us last fall from the great metropolis of 'Dry- den and consequently, in this short time, has not acquired more than one nick-name. Whiat ever influenced him to leave the cute little high school in his home town we can 't guess, but he says that there are more opportunities down here. We wonder what he means Spacey has his troubles. He lives next door to an amateur violinist and his sleep is filled with music. He has spent most of his spare time changing boarding places. 'fSpaxcey is an automobile enthusiast also. and thinks the world of a Fiske. Next year he will begin life's battles and with his usual good luck we know that he will come out top of the heap.

THE ITHACA HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL ERNEST TERRELL, Ernie We, the students of the Ithaca High School, do resolve and ordain that Ernie shall not soon be forgotten by us. Said Ernie Terrell, having been with us four years, has proven him- self worthy of mention. Whereof we do therefore iind numer- ous qualities to his benefit, one thereof being the art of dancing which often, yea very often, leads him unto North Aurora street. Unto Ernie has always fallen the lot of stage-manager of the plays in the above mentioned I. H. S., whereof was formed the habit of making others do all the hard work. It has been said unto us that accidents will happen in the best of families, so even if Ernie is not on your list of acquaintances, you s-urely have seen his smiling countenance in the halls, especially in tlhe ladies' corridors. Therefore, Wie, the aforementioned pupils, do resolve that Ernie be counted among the Gone but not for- gotten. DALE TROUP Alia! Caught in the act of trying to escape a write-up in the Annual! HEvil will out,,' Dale, and, as usual, at the last minute we found you were missing . Under this short notice, however, we 'haven't time to hunt up Da.le's past. But at any rate we'll let that slip past without comment and come to his glorious present. Yes, Dale has distinguished himself, both on the Annual and in Congress. Lo-ok at the Necropolis in the back of this book and see the arduous tasks which have caused his untimely demise. Well, Dale, a.s you would say, We've gotta do it,' ' so we will bid thee a fond farewell. Nevertheless, we'1l always remember you as a miglhty fine fellow, Dale. EILINONR TROY, El ' ' A tall and charming lady With black and glossy tresses, And hazel eyes of t nquil y 4 -I Whose meaning A shark in all her A dies, As well a i de tes, 1 Full of jo nd laughter, n some dates e is among her talents The one of music to-og I haven 't time to tell them all, Perhaps these few will do. WILL AM VAN ORDER, Bill Van Ye , w are 'lad' th hotographer was able to catch Bill still lon ' h to ake slpicture. Since is election to the An- n B 1 ,fhe has at ired a faculty being erywhere but s Hh'f4l8I'9 t ri uld be sure t ey vveren't drea ng. T e I nl n i.m, unless you take you life in your hands and attempt to fo e a Way to the office, is to pose in one of the pictures he manages at Robin- son ,s, or to preserve this inanimate likeness of him. His friends had hoped to keep him with them next year, but Bill has a de- cided inclination to try Rochester Mechanics Institute. No matter Whether the end of the next year finds Van in Rochester or in the midst of a bloodathirsty gang of cannibals, the many sincere friends he has made at High School, will not cease to Wish him their very best.
