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.

ELIZABETH Cmss EY Trumansburg, N. Y. 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

GEORGE HAROLD HANKEY Hilton, New York nlfrznkf' Football, '24, '26, '27, Baseball, '25, '26, '27, '28, Captain of Baseball, '28, Basketball, '26, '27, '28, Secretary Y. M. C. A. '27, Treasurer of Y. M. C. A. '28, Captain Emer- sonian Track Team, '27. Hankey's greatest fame has been won on the gridiron, the basketball court, and the baseball diamond. Hankey has starred in the three major sports for all the four years of his high school career. They have even somewhat eclipsed the honor 'that is due -to him for his scholastic attainments, but these are not to be forgotten. Hankey is graduating this June with a record in his studies that is far above the ordinary. Such a begin- ning would seem to assure great success, and we wish you that, Hankey. A sound mind in ia sound body -these are yours, in them you have the finest foundation for your life.

'28, Emersonian Lit- erary Society. Last fall Ginny came into our midst. Cordial, munificiently contributing gaiety to any conversation into which she entered, and a magnetic personality, were the characteristics by which she was unani- mously voted the most popular girl on the campus. Gin has an exceptionally receptive mind for knowledge. The fact that she is completing her high school course in three years, permits us to say that. She pos- sesses lofty ideals which direct her course to a higher branch of study at VVellesley Colleg next fall. You have taken your first step toward your life ambition-you have successfully overcome a few of the many obstacles which strew your pathway to achievement. 9 1 'l X
