t'Bill is a wonderful musician and has done a great deal in developing our school orchestra. For two years he was a star on the baseball team and his heavy hitting, in many instances, has turned the score in our favor. This year he became very popular as Hcheer leader at the basket ball games. Bill has a wonderful personality that has made him well liked by everyone, and we sincerely hope that he will be successful ,in his future life. RUTH HALL RUFUs Stamford, New York Ruth Hall is very sedate VVe wonder if she ever had a date, But nevertheless we must confess, That of our class she is the best. 7 Reveille staff '22, Editor-in-Chief Camera '25, Secretary and Treasurer of Class '22, '23, '24 and '25, Perhaps one of our most studlious girls is Ruth Hall. Ruthis valedictorian this year, and is surely worthy of the honor. Very little can be said about Ruth because she is al- ways quiet. However, her Bostonian accent is very noticeable and Ruth's temper is shown most when one jokes her about it. Next year, so I hear, she is to be one of the college Freshies . We wonder if she will lose any of her dignity then. IDA MAE HAMILTON HHAMH South Kortright, New York , Down the floor, down tl1e floor, There goes Ida to raise the score. Baseball '22, Basketball '22, '23 and '24. Ida came to Stamford Seminary from South Kortright. She has taken part in school activities, especially basketball in which she was a great help.

Marjorie has always l1ad good ideas and plans. Of course to get these ideas and plans across she had to talk. Her talking, tl1ougl1, was a sore trial to many of l1er fellow studlents who sometimes, though not often, wished to study. VVhen Marjorie first entered high school we understand that she intended to go to college after she had finished. Then for some unknown reason she decided not to go so far away from home, but to stop at Oneonta Normal School instead. Later we learned that her plans were again changed. In spite of that fact, we trust that the one who has made her change her mind about higher education will t'feed her well. JAMES JOSEPH GOVERN 'LJIMMIEH Stamford, New York Jimmie is a whiz, of that we have no doubt, But when it comes to Virgil scansion-he's left out. ' Reveille staff '23, Camera staff '25. Jimmie came to us fresh from the little town of South Gilboa. Since that first day of entrance he has been one of our brightest and most faithful members. Jimmie's worst habit is his desire to chat, especially in Virgil class. Although we all like Jimmie very much, we wish he wouldn't talk so much as it sometimes gets us into trouble, also. -lt., VVILLIAM HENRY GOVERN BILL Stamford, New York Wl1en he smiles-he wins. Treasurer '23, Baseball '23, '24, Prize Speaking '24, '25, Orchestra '23, '24, '25, Athletic Editor of Reveille '23, Bill joined our class in January. He is finishing his high school course in three years, which is no small feat. Bill has received l1is education tl1us far in Stamford, and if he continues in college as he has here we may reason- ably expect great things of l1in1 in the future.

Ida, like most of us, is not any too fond of studying, but she manages to get there some way or other. She likes all out door sports and at present seems to be in- terested in trapping beavers Ida has seemed to like the Freshmen pretty Well-that is to say, some of them. CAROLINE MARG UERITE HICKOK 4 ' Corirr' ' Stamford, New York A smile will go a long, long way. Orchestra '23, '24, '25, first prize, prize speaking contest '24, inter-scholastic prize speaking '24, secretary and treas- urer '23g exchange editor of Reveille '23, vice president '24. Caroline walked in like all the rest of us and became a ,l3'reshman. Now she is waiting to be graduated. In the mean- time she is having a good time. She entered high school a year later than We did, but she has made up for lost time and is ex- pecting to be graduated with us. For the past year Caroline has developed a desire to en- ter Training Class a11d become a teacher. VVe wonder if as- sociation has influenced her in this regard.

A few years ago there were assembled in the chapel of Stamford Seminary F1'QSllII1811H from all the surrounding towns. Among those present was Bunny, Some one drop- ped a book and Bunny giggled. ln fact I believe that she decided then and there to laugh her way through high school
