CHARLES FRANCIS CORNVITH Hempstead, New York Chuck .7llouse Football, '24, '26, '27, Baseball, '25, '26, '27, '28, President of Senior Class, '28g Assistant Business Manager Echo , '28, Emersonian Literary Society. For six years Chuck has been making a place for himself in Starkey hearts. To many of us it seems that without lVIouse , one of the most popular boys, Starkey will not seem the same. As a proof of the high regard and esteem in which his class- mates held him, he was chosen president of the senior class. Chuck not only worked hard in his studies, as his teachers will vouch, but also in all athletics, prin- cipally baseball and football. He played end on the football team for three years and did a great deal to make the team a success last fall. Noted for his magnetic personality and keen sense of humor, we bid this popular young man a sad farewell. llday your wholelife, Chuck , be as suc- cessful as that part of it spent at Starkey. Betty Cris.fey Trumansburg High School, '25, '26, '27, Basketball, '28, Secretary of Y. W. C. A., '28, Emersonian Literary Society. Elizabeth Crissey came to Starkey from Trumansburg High School in the fall of '27, During her one year here, she has won the hearts of her classmates and the good will of her teachers. She brought with her an admirable track record which she has successfully lived up to by establishing a fine reputation in basketball. The team will feel a great loss when Betty leaves Starkey this year. Betty is an Emersonian of whom the Society is proud. She is vice-president of the Christian Endeavor, Secretary of the Y. W. C. A., and last but not least, she is ofhcial bell-ringer. Crissey is a real sport. She always has a smile and a pleasant word for every- one. We surely shall miss this smiling senior when she leaves us. Eighteen

Chuck Corwith, who first came to us from Long Island in '22, is one of the most popular members of the class, and is, in fact, a great favorite among all the students. He shows his genius in the classroom, sooner or later, and in the early fall, during the football season, was a shining light. Next on the list came Harold Hankey from the wilds of Hilton, New York He, too, has shown his able capacity as a student. Hank has high ambitions of someday being an athletic coach, and at the rate he is traveling in our local athletics, we are certain he will make a captivating success of his profession. '24 witnessed the coming of four rollicking, funloving freshmen. When roll call was cried, they answered as none other than Lew Gicker, Paul VVarner, Alice Voorhees, and Edie DeRyder. Through their four years here they have had, and have caused many others to have, riotous good times, due to their fun-loving nature. Lew Gicker, in a serious mood, is a sensible and somewhat studious chap. He is a most likable pe1'son to everyone with whom he comes in contact. He hails from the city of Elmira, New York. It is under his able guidance as editor-in-chief that the Echo has risen to greater heights this year. Paul VVarner came quite a distance to be educated in the ways of life here at Starkey. The mystery of his mischief is solved when we tell you that he comes from the land of the nuts , namely, Brazil. Paul is an efficient artist in the art room itself, the classroom, and lastly, love. Alice Voorhees, who is the object of Paul's amorous section of art, comes from the nearby town of Starkey, New York. She is a girl luckily gifted with a great talent for music. Her genius is shown also on the basketball floor, for she is a most clever forward. Last of this group of '24 cames Edie De Ryder. She is the kind of girl who sits back with a smile on her face while the rest of us grind away, but who, when Regents come around, walks audaciously off with high l10I10l'S, leaving the rest to be satisfied with what remains. The class continued with tranquility until '26. At that time, lliarietta llflould burst in upon itg a girl ever ready with an idea, from Nlontgomery, New York. Then this year we received two young ladies, adroit in their own particular ways. They were Ginny Griffing from Red Hook, New York, and Betty Crissey from Trumansburg, New York. Ginny, altho she loves a good time, must be credited with her share of brains, for she is graduating f1'om her high school career after only three years! Betty is not quite as lively as Ginny, altho she shows enough of the old pep when it comes to basketball and the classroom. Early in lVIarch the class organized. The officers elected were Pres. Charles F. Corwith, Vice-Pres. Lewis Gicker, Sec. Edith De Ryder, and Treasurer, Paul VVarner. The class is being advised under the able guidnace of Charles L. Warren, dean of men. Sevezmrrlz

Lewis W. Gicman 315 Orchard St., Elmira, New York Cid Lew Track, '25g Humor Editor Echo , '27: Editor-in-Chief Echo , '28g Vice President Senior Class, '28, Football mgr. '27, Emerson- ian Literary Society. ' Four years ago Gick made his appear- ance at Starkey. From the start he made a hit with both the girls and boys. Gicker deserves a lot of credit, for he had to begin his school days practically all over again. After receiving an honorable discharge from the army he wanted to fin- ish his neglected studies so that he might be able to attend the Buffalo lwedical College. Altho Click had athletic ability, he was not able to indulge in any of the major sports. This was due to certain affiliations with the Summerbell house. We all will miss Lewis in the Literary Society, for he has been a hard worker in our Chapel meetings. EDITH GRAHABI DE RYDER 195 Berkley Place, Brooklyn, New York Edie Kelly Athletic Association, '27g Secre- Class, '28g Literary Editor Echo, '28, Editor Emersonian Literary Society, 'ZSQ President Y. W. C. A., '28g Girls Glee Club, P25, '26, '27, 'ZSQ Emersonian Literary Society. Edie hails from the big town and believe me she knows her onions! Four years she has sojourned among us and 'twill be a sad day when these halls of learning cease to hear her hurrying foot- steps just a moment late running down the way. To the lot of a chosen few falls the happy faculty of being clever. Upon a still smaller group have the Fates bestowed beauty. To find these two qual- ities mingled in one person is unusual. Yet these merits are personified in our de- lightfully charming Kelly . She is a girl we all love, and can she dance? Nor did more learning ever crowded lie in such a short mortality.
