Bring Crabb 's Synonyms. How else can any strug- gling fourth year vocabulary concoct a Knockl' worthy of Elsie? Especially since she finished Eng- lish IV a year ago. Ah, there's a cue. Elsie quite nonchalantly rompcd off with a scholarship. VVhy, she can actually tell you the present subjunctive of truer, or even the difference between the gerund and the gerundive. But Elsie still modestly insists that Miss Apgar is much better qualified to head the Latin department Umalgre oem. If all goes well, Qhow could it go otherwiselj September 425, will find Elsie a Cornell co-ed.

At precisely 8:40 olclock fusually just as Miss McAllister has closed the doorj wc hear a familiar noise and, looking up, see the door opcn and a quiet, tall, dark-haired, dark-eyed girl quickly slip into her scat. Of course, wc know it is Esther. But once she has joined us she gets to work, as her report cards invariably show. For Esther is a really good student and finished her course in January. She has :1 liking for French and has quite an artistic ability. But f-l011yt you often wonder Why she sccnis to like short people? We are not just sure what Esther plans to do, but the good wishes of her many friends go with her. T

Tlll' ITU XGA HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL AMY C. R. BUTLER 'tAmyi' King Harold 23 Wreck of the Hesperus 33 On Shore and Sea 43 O Lovely Night 43 Legislative Assembly 4, 5. VVhat! Amy 's picture in the Annual again this year? Yes, she developed an energetic streak and came back to us again. The bright girl has actually completed another whole course! Amy is a great musician. If you doubt this, ask any of her neigh- bors and they lll tell you that all day and half the night she can be heard strumming o11 her uke.H Another of her failings is dancing. Some day, no doubt, Ruth' St. Denis will have to take a. back seat and watch Amy glide over the floor in her place. LENNIE BUTTLER UStepper Commercial Club 23 Science Club 3, 4. Beware, friends, as you gaze on this fair young gentleman who comes tearing into town every morning with his Lincoln Light Four ! Looks are deceiving. Lennie's major weakness shows up very plainly on his report cards during the autumn hunting season, He considers it a very poor after- noon's absence if he does not bag a dozen rabbits or so. Still, he does manage to get a little studying done between times. So he has finally decided to leave us and enter the business world. M. KATHERINE CASS Junior Orchestra 1, 23 Senior Orchestra 3, 43 Science Club 43 On Shore and Sea 33 O Lovely Night 33 Hero and Leander 4. Everyone Who knows what Katherine carries around in that big box of hers will admit she's :1 sweet person to have around. Almost too sweet, the teachers say, when she holds up the elass to sell eandy. But just the same, Katherine has aeeom' plished what few of us do, gotten through school in three years, a. great achievement for a small person. One more word, looks are deceiving--Katherine isn't nearly so quiet as she looks.

Here 's a fellow we all know! Ted has been around here for four long years. Upon his arrival at this institution, he appeared rather bashful, but we can now say he has fully recovered from that stage. No obstacle has proved too great for Ted, and he has won fame on the football, basketball and base- hall squads. As sergeant-at-arms for thc Senior Class, he has kept order and supplied air generously. Chceriol' is also an ardent supporter of Congress and appears on Miss Bryant's ,list of howlers. ln short, whatever Ted does, we know will be a big success.

' yi' ossesses all the attractive qualities that ar su to accompany an auburn bob without ai Elizabeth temper. Yet Red is lm ueh a pattern of meekness that she lacks fun and Hpep. 1' A glance at the accompanying portrait confirms that assertion. Miss Townley is going to get a compliment. Mary pronounees her her favorite teacher. Next fall, if anyone wishes to visit Mary, he or she will have to motor to Cortland, for May aspires to the teaching profession. May she remember her school days and pity her pupils.

Take a good look at him, everyone, because We don lt know where he'll be when he leaves ns. Jack is a real boy with honest to goodness brains hidden away somewhere behind that rare physiognomy. As an athlete he is among the comers. Tennis is his trump card, though .l'ackl' hides from publicity, as you all know. He is a leading member of the Five Year Club, too. Though he may roam in far off lands, wclro sure that Jack will always remember his classmates and his Alina Mater.
