On this important day of days we came with faltering and timid steps toward the school house. We found the assem- bly room without much difficulty but when the principal, Mr. Nisbet, told us to make out our schedule for the semester we knew not what to do, but with the kind help of our upper-classmen, especially the seniors, we found our various classrooms, and knew what hours to go to our classes. If by chance We found ourselves in a senior class the teacher could not tell the difference between freshmen and seniors of that year, we considered ourselves just as important as the seniors and carried the same intelligent look as they. We later found that the senior's opinion of a freshman was very much, different than the freshman's of himself. After the first week of peaceful wandering about the halls we settled down to real high school life. I As the other classes had called a class meeting and elected their offi- cers we followed their example. To pilot ,us through our Freshman year we elected the following officers: aj President .. ..Rex Rowellllzg fl I Y Vice-preside : , . ..-1--- 1 w.Harold McMulle Q 'L I Secretary ...l......... Ruth McNabb Trehurer A . L,,,,:1'.412 .iS,5'5fg.ls.f:i..4Q,Q ........ Grace Vallance TL ILZQA At this class meeting found we had the number of seventy-six in our class. - A After our class meeting we seemed to be more a part of the high school and everything seemed fine until some one mentioned final exam- inations. Remember the'long faces, classmates? We Worked as we had never worked beforevand came through with flying colors. g In the second semesi Qi. 'we gave a box social and increased ourgempty treasury quite a bit. We thought we were realhigh school students now that we had some money in our class treasury. ,A At last our Freshmeitayear drew to a' close and we considered it very, successful and it would have beenyeny enjoyable' if the seniors had not been forever and aye telling us how inferior we were to them. But we ll TWENTY-ONE 'i l: b YM li. .ff ITHACANSIAN failed to see their opinion and so remained happy in our opinion of them. September 2, 1921, we came back to school with higher hopes and not with as faltering steps as the year before. After the students had become familiar with their work and teach- ers, a class meeting was called and officers were elected as follows: President ....,,...,,...

Our hardest task was conquering geometry but we mastered it with the aid of Miss McKenzie and ponies. When we found our class together again in our Junior year there were but sixty left from the trials and tribulations of our Freshmen and Sophomore years. We elected these ofiicers for the year: President ................................................ .......... R odney Lake Vice-president ...................... ........ Kathleen Davis Secretary and Treasurer .... . .... ................ E thel Stahl Junior Editor ................................................ Raymond Harvey I will review briefly our Junior history. As usual we Juniors held a fair and realized a large sum of money which we spent on the Seniors. After some difficulty our class rings were decided on and in time re- ceived. V At the beginning of the second semester some of us Junior girls had to take up our abode in Mrs. Conantfs and Miss Foster's rooms so as to make room for the freshmen who were just entering. We considered this a great privilege and although we hated to leave Mr. Wolfe and his jokes, we were secretly glad because now we were pu,t on a level with the Senior girls who previously were the only ones to have this honored privi- lege. . , A D A In May we took the seniors to Crystal and g-ave them a good time. When the High School Carnival was given, we wanted it to be a suc- cess so of course the Junior class took the responsibility. As all junior years must end, we left Ithaca High in June to return again in September as Seniors. We were happy, yet sad, in the thought that we had but one more happy year to spend as high school students. Summer vacation seemed to take wings and fly, so soon did we find our footsteps leading us again to studies and good times. This was our last year and every one wanted to make it his best. At last we had TWENTY-TW O fi. . 1 A rl ITHACANSIAN reached our goal-we were now seniors and how dignified we felt and looked. A class meeting was held and officers elected as follows: President ............................................................ Victor Sawyer Vice-president ...... ......... R uth McNabb Secretary ...,........... .......... .............. I lva Sibert Treasurer ....................................,....................... Isabelle McCall There 'were but forty-seven of us left to represent the class of '23. The Senior girls were asked to move into Mrs. Conant's and Miss Foster's rooms to make room for the freshmen. Later in the year a class party was held at the home of Glen and G-uy Ellsworth and every- one had a very enjoyable time. The most enjoyable event in our senior year was the Senior banquet given by the Senior boys. . '. This was the last time we as a class would meet the school board. An enjoyable evening spent but back of it was the sad thought that it was the last time an occasion of this kind would Qccur with all the class, of '23 together. 4 Another blot on the happiness of our senior year was the return of our beloved friend and classmate, Grace Vallance, to her Heavenly Father. At last our Senior year closes and we are about to leave our places to others whom we hope will do justice to Ithaca High School as well as the class of 1923. We feel duly grateful to the faculty for guiding our faltering and sometimes stubborn footsteps through our high school days. These days have been days of hard and constant work but they were filled with happiness. , , r In the future we will look back upon the happy and 'care free days of our high school life and cherish the memories of those days. Let us forget the present and look into the future-The question for each one of us to decide is: Will the kind and thoughtful teaching we received in I. H. S. be put into action? - What will I befA success or a failure in life? - In this wonderful age of this old world there is a duty for each one of us td perform. Will we perform that duty successfully? If we will only remember and do it in honor of the class of, '23 it will be performed successfully. But I am confident that whatever, whenever, or wherever we are, our duties will be performed successfully and honorably to pre- serve the honor of the class of one-thousand, nine hundred and twenty- three. -ELOISE REYNOLDS. TWENTY -THREE V I tp' Si 1 F L X . ITHACANSIAN, Class Will I think nothing is more pleasant than to see a good man really rising in the world slowly, but surely, they seem to find their way to the front at last. There are some men who, so to speak, are bound to get on. When they have planted their feet on the first rung of the ladder, they must needs mount. V . Certain it is that life is a serious thing that should be governed neith- er by caprice nor thrown away on chance. Life is long, and its many succeeding ages and phases brings its many duties, and with the duties the highest responsibilities. Life is often rugged, it is not always young and joyous. Soon come trials, struggles, labors, and contrarieties of every kind., These are given us as :foundations of life. During the inexperience of our youth life flies gaily on like a pleasant adventure, without care, without any foresight, without any plan. And so have ours flown till the time has come when we must begin to make plans for our future. Occasions of learning and self-improvement come, stay with us for a short time, then fly, and the wheels of time shall not be reversed to bring them back, once they are gone. If we neglect them, we shall be permanent losers for this life and cannot say how much we may be losers hereafter. Before emerging from this sphere of knowledge, it is necessary to make arrangements for the distribution of certain articles which will be useless to us in the future and will aid greatly those who are yet to strug- gle in the paths of learning and have to gain the supposed- fame and knowledge of those departing. We will, therefore, take this day, the SEVENTH of JUNE, nineteen hundred twenty-three, to declare this to be our last Will and Testament. ARTICLE I. To the Seniors of next year, as customary, we bequeath the assembly room and contents and exclusively the right of sitting on the back seats talking, eating candy, chewing gum and consequences thereof, which consist usually of a front seat on platform. ARTICLE II. We give the classes the right of initiating plans for making money, so that they may cross the bridges of preparation and glide through the portals of opportunity in perfect ease. t ARTICLE III. We give to the Seniors of next' year the privilege of being bored and tormented by the Freshmen. ARTICLE IV. Vinal Tabor and George Teachman will, bequest and bequeath to William Knickerbocker and Frank Stone the privilege of con- suming gallons of oil in midnight study so that they may make of them- selves more worthy specimens of human nature. ARTICLE V. To the successor of Mr. Wolfe, we grant for one year, the right of disturbing the equalibrium of the lower classmen by yelling at them with such force that the echoes rebound and resound from far and near.

I T H A C A N S I A N Junior History 1...-1. The illustrious class, whose periodical existence, to date, is described in this manuscript, will be the regnant power of this gigantic institution of learning within another moon. As soon as the present Senior class dash into the infinite we shall avail ourselves of the opportunity to hold its sceptre and wear its golden crown. Then we shall take the easy seats in the rear anpdawatch the insalubrious efforts of the aspirants to our title. 0 2 '-liao' We are a class that sets a goal and is ambitious to reach it, and reaching, sets another. Though our dreams may never be realized, nev- ertheless, we have had the pleasure of dreaming them. Our personal appearances vary directly as the ones we stand beside. Some of us are large, the dimensions of whom cannot be ascertained by the naked eye. Some you need a microscope to see-others you do not. As for size and talent of the members of our class I can only vouch that you will find quite a variety. It is time for me now to instill into you some definite and insoluble facts concerning the past life of our honorable class. - As freshmen we needed no innovator, although some of the upper classmen thought so. In ,spite of the strange surroundings and many difficulties which we faced during the first few months, we soon became an infrangible organization which has wrought its work with great in- genuity and perfectness. During the initial year we occupied the seats of honor, ffront seats, si1 vous plait J and faced the glaring headlights of the instructor. Occa- sionally we were startled by his thunderous voice as he rolled a note of warning to the naughty seniors. We incorporated some social events into our career, every now and then, which gave life to our class. To us, parties were always real parties and we always enjoyed ourselves immensely. To miss a party put on by the class of 1924 was simply neglecting to have a good time. Chapel may be checked as a social event and in this branch we have always excelled. We always responded readily when it came our turn to present a chapel and always did our best. Our programs were original and showed no lack of talent at any time. They always commanded the undivided attention of the spectators. Undoubtedly the Junior Fair this year, supervised and put on by our worthy class, was the best that has yet been produced. It exhibited a grand assortment of shows and other wonderful attractions. Every- thing showed our matchless skill in producing something that shone with ingenuity and talent. , ' . THIRTY ,f X 1, ITHACANSIAN Our dashing athletes rendered to the school their indispensible ser- vices. You could have found them on the gridiron, or tossing the basket- ball, or carrying off honors in baseball and track. Though they are not all stars, still they are dependable athletes. Though this year is not yet over there can be no discrepancy among us as to our success for ou1jeade,rs.are.Yery competent. I must now intro- ducethem to you, woffliy reader. There is his royal highness-the King, Ralph Ringle, a sturdy warrior and a gallant leaderg Princess Blanche so charming, so grand, and so tall, the secretary of state and administrator of finances are combined and given to the charge of that worthy genius, Miss Naomi Douglas, lastly is the chosen editor of this great book for next year, Harlan McCall, who has ability and talent for the task. We also have some able state folks to represent our class and our school on that worthy body, the council. They were duly elected the first part of the ye have acted well. They are the Honorable Don L. Root anpd.. ' elen Benson. Thus rather in brief I have related to you' the facts which comprise the biography of the present Junior Class. Perhaps I have not quite pic- tured to you the vast significance of our past, but nevertheless you can grasp some of its greatness from this sketch. The past records of our class are filled only with the glorious and we have nothing to regret. -BYRON F. BOYD.

Climbing the winding stairs we numbered about one hundred and fifteen, the largest Freshman class ever entering the Ithaca high school. We were undoubtedly as green a bunch of Freshmen as ever were but we succeeded in electing our class officers. These were: President, Max Elliottg Vice-president, Royal Boveeg Secretary and Treasurer, Ella Eveyl. Two parties and two socials were enjoyed by the class during the year and on May 30, a joyful day was spent at Crystal Lake. The next year we came back to our second year as Sophomores. We are sorry to say that we had decreased in members, and although ours was still the largest class the membership did not exceed eighty though we were glad to see a few new faces. A short time after a class meeting was held and the following offi- cers elected: John Feichtenbiner, president, Paul Simmons, vice-presi- dentg Helen Vallance, secretary and treasurer. Owing to a vacancy in the latter Orpha Allen was elected to fill that oflice. Under their leader- ship we looked forward to a successful year. The first party of the year was held at the home of Bernice Smith where a fine time was enjoyed in playing games after which refresh- ments were served. ' October twenty4seventh a Hallowe'en party was held at Elizabeth Barnhart's where upon entering the house ghostly figures sent cold chills up your spine. Games were played and several piano selections were given by President Feichtenbiner and the young hostess, after which 're- freshments were served and a fine time was enjoyed by all. January twelfth we met at Ella Evey's where we had a fine supper after which we went to the big hill out west of town. Everyone had a fine time sliding down hill and we all went home tired but happy. We were proud of our Football team this year, Captain Simmons be- ing from our class. , Successful and brilliant futures are awaiting us, we are sure, for as we look upon the eager faces of members of the class we say: How can it be otherwise after we have graduated from the Ithaca High, the honorable class of 1925?

And for Bob the actor, a star of wondrous lightg Also for Dorothy Buerge, so witty and so bright. Then we have C for Carl, so studious and wise, We're sure that in learning he will deserve the prize. D for Dorothy Bosley, so noble and so true, Of all troubles in life may she have very few. E means Eloise, Ethel and Evah-good students, May success follow their study and their prudence. F designates Fannie who's quiet but not sad, And Fern dreamily thinking of some distant lad.

Of these only two or three left before the semester was ended. At first, we were rather timid, but when they said we were the greenest ever we began standing up for our rights. Of course, the Seniors couldn't see how dry they looked nor the Juniors how enviously they watched the Seniors and mocked them, nor the Sophomores how they were forgetting old times. After a few weeks we had our first class meeting and elected Vernon Kennett, Presidentg Gladys Russell, Vice-presidcntg James Crawford, Treasurer and Clifford Boyd, Secretaryf In the, latter part of September we decided that it was time to have a social gathering. Miss Howes kindly said that we might have a Weenie roast in the woods a short distance from her home. When everyone had had a sufficient number of weenies to eat we started on our homeward journey but some of us were startled because we saw a car driving towards the woods, thinking it some of the rest of the bunch, we hastened along to find that it was only one of the pupil's parents. We all settled down to work after our first party until after the se- mester Exams. The last of February we simply cou1dn't stand it any longer so we decided on a sleigh riding party to go to the home of our pres- ident in North Star. We arrived there safely. We played games for some time and then we had the most important part of the entertainment -the eats. On the way home we had the wonderful experience of tip- ping over. We all arrived home early enough to have a good sleep-the next morning. A y By perseverance we will endeavor to make our class one of the most successful that has ever passed through Ithaca High School. MARGARET MILLER. -g,...t3'44g,4l.

If you have learned to know Olive You've had a pleasure rare- Her wit, her smile, her merry eye, Have George T. bound for fair.

But I finally consented, on the condition that I could go to each mem- ber of the class and find what he prophesies for himself in ten years, and these are the answers I received. Eloise Reynolds will be settled down on a large ranch in Montana, the wife of the wealthy cattle-raiser, Kenneth Lydle. Gordon Eichorn will be the overseer. Mildred Vance will follow in the footsteps of her father, and be a teacher of history in Sitka. Alaska. A Berniece Russell says that nothing would seem quite so fascinating to her as to live at Lakeland, Florida or Palm Beach, and teach the young society people of New York City to swim. Hazel Lewis expects to be financially independent as a result of her talent along the line of art. Her sister, Helen, will own an art store where Hazel's work will be on exhibition. Vinal Tabor says that with his extensive knowledge of science he he expects to have explained Einstein's theory of relativity. in such sim- ple language that even a child can understand it. Rose Spencer will assist Vinal in this work, keeping a record of all his lectures, and finally publish them under the name of Tabor's Trans- lation of the Einstein Theory. Ursulien Maurin says that she, by that time, expects to be the champion fast talker in the World and gain fame in that way. Anvone who knows Ursulien, will have no doubt that she is right. Harold- McMullen's ambition is to own a hardware store as big as Gollwitzer's, and hopes to have realized it in ten years. Joyce Glynn and Georgian Wood will open a beauty parlor in Edge- wood, and hope to have a fair-sized trade in several years. Dorothy Buerge and Hilda Baird say that they expect to gain fame through their favorite pastime, giggling. We also agree that they, like Ursulien Maurin, should be successful. Beatrice Martin says that she'expects to be the wife of a King, Arilla Thomas and Kathleen Davis will be Grand Opera stars by then, Arilla singing bass, and Kathleen tenor. FORTY-SIX ITHACANSIAN Raymond Ebaugh says that he and his wife, Lois Sherrick Ebaugh, are going to teach school for several years, and then travel, finally set- tling down in Honolulu. George Teachman expects to edit a magazine entitled Witty Say- ings of a Witty Man, and be the sole contributor. He tells me, confi- dentially, that it will surpass anything of its kind ever attempted, even Judge, Evah Mummey's sole ambition is to teach mathematics, because she just loves geometry, and knows she can be a success. Isabelle McCall plans to be a manikin for Mme. Renee, of the most exclusive shoppe in Paris. She will sail some time in June. Bonita Keeler will dance her way to fame. She has already had an attractive offer from Florenz Ziegfield to take Marilyn Miller's place in the Follies when Marilyn retires from the stage. . Ethel Stahl has hopes of being Henry Ford's private secretary, as she says she just ADORES his cars. Ruth McNabb expects to leave soon after school for'Hollywood and become a famous movie star, owning in time, a home in Beverly Hills. No doubt Ruth, with her beauty, is right in choosing this career. Wilma Burgess also chooses the teaching profession. Her ambition is to go to the Hawaiian Islands and teach the natives how to make their straw dresses in the very latest style. . Mary Thompson is going to California and with Luther Burbank, will perfect the orange-coated banana. Olive Plankenhorn says that she intends to retire and devote the rest of her life to the study of the question, If winter comes, can spring be far behind ? . I .2 Fern Hoover has visions of being the owner of a large dress-making establishment on Fifth Avenue, New York City. Georgia Robinson says that she is going to Wyoming for a year or two and devote her time to trick horse-back riding. She will then come before the eyes of the world as the foremost equestrienne of the twentieth century. ' Margaret Menter loves children so much that she is going to estab- lish a Children's Home where all the forlorn and forsaken children may find refuge. Robert Crawford is going to join Ringling Brothers' Circus as the Living Human Skeleton. Success, Robert. Carl Evey is going to be a farmer, and live with the ducks, cows and chickens. He considers barn-yard music the most soothing in the world. FORTX-SEVEN ITHACANSIAN Fannie Page and Rodney Lake are going into vaudeville as specialty dancers, having one night stands in all the large cities, including Ashley, North Stariand Pompeii. Dorothy Bosley intends to live with her sister-in-law, Thelma Crooks Bosley and take care of the children while Thelma assists her husband with the housework. Alton Kennedy, with his rare power of oratory, expects ,to surpass even Webster and Calhoun, with his plea for the bootleggers on the grounds that they have been misjudged. By 1933 he expects to be world- known. ' In ten years Annette Rocko hopes to see her name in blazing head- lines as the swimming champion of the world. Although Annette is con- siderably over-weight now, she expects to become quite sylph-like by con- stant swimming in Crystal Lake. Raymond Harvey, editor of the 1923 Ithacansian, was so successful that he plans to start a daily paper in Beebe, and in time have branch otlices in all the surrounding towns. We hope everyone will patronize him. Gale Brown is going in for athletics, and will eventually coach the athletics of the Sickles High School. Genevieve McCall says she always wanted to be a missionary and go to Africa, where, if she couldn't teach the cannibals NOT to eat the missionaries, she could at least see that they used the proper seasoning. John Colwell will enter the Pickford-Fairbanks-Griffeth-Ray Syndi- cate and, by perseverance, expects to provide higher salaries for movie stars and picture-machine operators. ' And last, but not least, our honorable class-president, Victor Sawyer. He knew that he could be successful in so many fields that he was rather undecided what to do. But he now believes the ministry is his calling. He will try to be as successful an evangelist as Billy Sunday, and finally come back to Ithaca. I know you will agree with me that the Senior Class of 1923 is des- tined to be the most famous that ever graduated from the Ithaca High School. -ILVA. SIBERT. - g FORTY-EIGHT --.

'Although' several of the men are seniors the outlook for next season is very promising. For whatever successes we have attained we wish to express our appreciation to Coach Holdredge, who has made them possible. - l St. Louis fHereJ The second game of the season was played with St. Louis.

The meet is held at St. Louis this year. The towns to be represented at the meet are Ithaca, Breckenridge, Alma and St. Louis. Ithaca looks forward to the meet with some degree of expectancy having won it last year by a fair margin. Though several of our last year's men are gone still there is a promising and healthy bunch of Hne athletes to fill their places. Brecken- ridge is putting all their efforts into track this year so we may find' or at least expect much competition from that quarter. Alma has a few stars thathiare hard to beat and who gave us a good run last year. As for St. Louis, We are not acquainted with their program so do not know what to expect from them. In all, though, we have every reason to expect that Ithaca may carry home the greatest number of points, Letter Men flast yearl HENRY KINSEL , J. C. BOYD RODNEY LAKE BYRON BOYD 'R. C.

ITHACANSIAN 1923 BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM FIFTY-FOUR 1..- ITHACANSIAN Basketball 1922-23 Carson City Qheruej Carson brought over their first and second teams to play Ithaca's first and second teams. Our second team was forced to acknowledge defeat at the hands of Carson's second team in the tossing duel. The first string men, however, grappled for supremacy and until the whistle called the game the winners were not determined. No one could prophesy who would be the victors at the end of the first half, so close was the game, although the Carson boys led. The third quarter slipped away with the Carson boys still leading. Then for an instant Carson's front weakened and Ithaca grabbed severalbaskets and thus carried OE the hard earned honors. ' St. Louis fherej C . When the Ithaca team went to St. Louis they were beaten by their opponents after the score had been tied twice and overtime periods had been played. When St. Louis came here they were pretty confident of victory. ln the preliminaries the girls were beaten by the St. Louis girls. Then the boys, out to avenge the defeat which they had previously received at the hands of bt. Louis, Iought hard and skillfully the entire game and emerged with the laurels of victory. They won by the same score Q22-,205 as the St. Louis boys had won from them. Schedule - Games e Result Alina at Ithaca .......................................... .,.,.,,.

No doubt it would have been a great season for the Ithaca boys but after the first two games were played they lost Hubbard and Boyd. This handi- capped the team as the vacancies had to be filled by new material. Ver- non and Devereaux were chosen for the places and by the end of the -season a rather fast team was developed and, though they lost most of the games, they are looking forward to a successful season next year.

Classmates: As we pause today upon the dividing ground between two eras in our lives, and look back- over the varied experiences of our high school life, with its buoyances and its pleasures, its rivalries and am- bitions, its duties and its generous friendships, we cannot avoid a feeling of sadness which comes at the thought of parting. There is, however, one thought which should be uppermost in our minds, dispelling the gloom of present sadness and sudusing with a golden glow, the morning sky of our future. The influence of our high school has left a lasting impression upon our minds and hearts. To many of us the education we have obtained here, will only be our capital' in beginning life g 'and we shall be largely indebted to our school for whatever of wealth and honor we may hereafter win in the world. A Day after day, we have assembled here in the school room and the memories which cluster around this place, more vivid in our minds today than ever before, can never be forgotten. They will go with us through life, and form an important part in the individual experience of each one of us. The events of this day and of the past school days are to be remem- bered and recalled with pleasure, perhaps with pride, when we have pass- ed far down the vale of years. As we hear the aged of today rehearse the scenes of their youth, so shall we revive the memories of our school days when the battle of life has been fought and we sit down to repose after the burden and heat of the day are past. Then, little incidents which seem now hardly worth the telling will possess a deeper interest and will linger long and fondly in the imagination. Today, with its trails and its triumphs will be regarded as an epoch in the career of some of us, as a day worth remembering by all of us. We cannot take leave of these familiar surroundings and sunder the pleasant associations which have bound us so closely together, without acknowledging the debt of gratitude we owe to our school and to our teachers. We have spent four imporant years of our life under their care and have received training which forms a large part of the equipment for life. It behooves us to step cautiously as we cross the threshold and emerge into the dazzling sunlight, the deafening din and tumultous whirl of the busy world. Think not that fame wiil come at your bidding and that all will be pleasant. Let us not part with any false sentiment, but neither let us underestimate the sacredness of the hour. The solemn thought that this may be the last time our class shall meet unbrok- en, chills and awes every heart. Forgetting as we do all the wounds of class rivalry, let us bear away from here the priceless casket of our strong true love. Comrades, farwell! God be with each one and if our next meeting be the Great Hereafter, may an unclouded path of glorious labor, toil and triumph lead back beyond the scenes of life to this time and this spot where now we say Farewell, --TABOR.

SIXTY-ONE ITHACANSIAN Class Poem '23 OUR SCHOOL DAYS The September morn came bright and clear, While over the land for far and near, School children made ready after their summer play, To start to school that bright fall day. - Among these pupils, so bright and care-free, ' Was our class of nineteen twentyfthree. Coming asgFreshmen to join the iight Against Latin, English, History, and the like. The gates of knowledge have opened wide, For us to enter and enrich our minds. Swiftly we have, with friends at our side, Passed through .these wall to that behind. Some have lost out, others have won, Until here we are in our Senior year. Graduation is here with all its fun, And we are to leave behind our high school career. At last we have reached the other side, Having passed through the wondrous gate. We will all fill our places to our classmates' pride, How could the class of '23 meet any other fate? -DOROTHY BUERGE.

Lf ITHACANSIANG . is y .fi Debating Team e RAYMOND HARVEY GEORGIA ROBINSON ' VICTOR SAWYAER 1 Debating 1 This has been a very successful year in debating. For the first time Ithaca succeeded in getting the opportunity to participate in the state elimination contest. Theseason opened with a debate with our old rival Elsie, from whom We won by a 2 to 1 decision. The other debates resulted as follows. ' Ithaca-Shepherd ....... ....... 3 -0 Ithaca-Lakeview ........ ....... 3 -0' Ithaca-4-Holly ........... ....... 2 -1 Ithaca-Durand ......,,......,........,..........,............. 1-2 ' The question for debate this year was: Resolved f'That United States and Canada should jointly construct St. Lawrence Canal. Ithaca had one team which took both sides of the question and won on both sides but finally lost to the affirmative against Durand. One thing that can be said for our team which is very commendable and was much spoken of by the judges and that is the understanding of their subj ect and the logic in pre- sentation of arguments. The team seemed well balanced, Raymond with his analytical powerg Georgia with her decisiveness and Victor with his -summarizing of facts made the team's arguments understandable as well as convincing. Much praise and honor belong to the debating team of 1923. ' SIXTY -FOUR K i - x Mn T sn1...A...- .-aw V Q.l----i--llTHACANSIAN- Social and Dramatic As the primary purpose of this notable class of 1923 has always been for the furtherance of social activities, we, early in our senior year, em- barked upon our social career by taking an active, and'I must modestly admit, a leading part in the Annual' Reception to the Freshmen. As this festival was shared by the other classes, we must briefly pass it by and take up the strictly Senior functions. A Due to the undue restrictions placed upon us by the faculty, we were compelled to hold our class parties on Friday nights. However, 'they al- lowed us one exception, and this proved to be the only party we had. On the notable occasion, we were invited to the home of Glen and Guy Ellsworth, where we certainly availed ourselves of an opportunity for a jolly good time. Practically the entire Faculty and a goodly number of the Seniors were present. Although games and general jollity were very much enjoyed, still the main feature of the evening proved to be the spectacular disappearance of immense quantities of escallopedypotatoes, due to the magic art of one of our faculty members. The great event of the social activities was the Annual Senior Ban- quet. Those present were the entire Senior class, all members of the Fac- ulty, and their wives, and Mr. and Mrs. J. N. McCall. Our class president, Victor Sawyer, ably performed the diflicult duties of Toastmaster. Toasts were given by Annette Rocko, Eloise Reynolds, Carl Evey, and. Raymond Harvey. The main address of the evening was delivered by Mr. J. N. McCall, and was enjoyed by all. ' The first intimation we had of any exceptional histrionic talent in the class came when the boys presented the Mock Trial. Those taking part were: Victor Sawyer, Raymond Harvey, Vinal Tabor, Raymond Ebaugh, Robert Crawford, James Mertens, Carl Evey, George Teachman, Harold McMullen, Rodney Lake and Henry Kinsel. , When the girls' turn came to entertain in chapel, they presented with great honor to themselves the One Act Play, The Watch, Wallet, and the Jack of Spades. Those taking part were: Annette Rocko, BonitaKeeler, Hazel Lewis, Ursulien Maurin, Kathleen Davis, Ruth McNabb, Ethel Stahl, Eva Mummeyand Berniece Russell. SIXTY-FIVE .-4 'X x . if g g, g gi gg it .
