Can't he make a lot of noise?” And how important he feels as lie rides around town in one of his friends autos, and gracefully bows to the damsels who are burning with the eagerness to be noticed. Oh, lie's certainly an awful Sport! Keep It up. Hobby, and some day you'll be a big man if you don’t fade away before that Joyful time comes. Alpha Zi ta. To look at Wayne, sitting back In Ills si at. with bis eyes half open, and a vacant expression on bis face, one would think lie was lazy. Some times It i veil seems to be too great an eTort to recite in class. Occa- sionally. Irjwever. after a few re- marks such as Why. it was this way. and Yen see how it was, lie gets started, and then he talks until we wonder where he gets it all. Appearances surely are deceitful, especially in the ase of this one gifted Senior. Ite.eeption ( omwilti r. Kelvin. AKI.KKN DAOMSII. FREDERICK .1.

Bred is a very dignified young man. especially when presid- ing at meetings at the Athletic Asso- ciation. lie plays good football and is a valuable man on the track. An athletic life for him. alright. Prcxident of Atlihtie Axxorialion ; Captain of Senior llaxe ltali Team: .1 delphie. Dignity and prudence personified! A sort of watchful guardian over this all too spirited class. Our story teller! Why. we sit enthralled at the vivid descriptions in her narra- tive-like minutes. There’s almost a plot to them ! Probably this is the one cause of our over-crowded meet- ings. Far in the future we see Arleen reading fairy-tales to a crowd of eager kindergarten children about her. smiling at them through those deep blue eyes she has. Lucky chil- dren !

ETHEL (’OH. ‘‘Why. I thought I could do It—” that is what Ethel says when she gets up to translate Vergil. She Is always disappointing, for she starts out brilliantly, but never seems to get through. Never mind, Ethel, you are a Senior, and that proves to us. that, even though you can’t always do your Vergil, you succeed in lots of other things. ATI I EU IN H (’(INNELLY. This demure young Miss is seldom heard from within tlie precincts of our illustrious abode: still, in her (juiet way, she is enjoying herself and making herself a joy to her teachers. She manages quite cap- ably (o avoid all specimens of the opposite sex except when they insist upon walking to school with her— and she gets around that difficulty very often when site is whizzed up to school in her big car. .Modesty and good nature are her uppermost characteristics. I It A COLE. “cm.! k ET1IHL COVENTRY. Why isn't that medal in this pic- ture' Where do you keep it—hang- ing around your neck? Oh! Take it off—you'll get round shouldered! Just the same we wish’t we'd been smart enough to write on Hob Ful- ton and get one. We always sort o’ had faith in you before, anyway, even though you aren't very sociable. In that back seat you keep mighty— mighty quiet. Aha ! Here we have a nice, quiet, studious young man. He looks out at you so meekly behind his glasses that you can't help liking him. You'd never think that he possesses a bass voice—but he does. Ira gets a little fun out of life all right even if he is quiet. Just watch him.

NILBS BODY. LEONORA DUHL. Nothing but the fame of the 1910 class could have obtained this prize for us! All the year she attended Elmira College, and. tired of such association, fell back to graduate with us. Now our fame has in- creased a thousand fold at this late addition—glance but once at her photograph and you'll not wonder at our statement. Leonora, your choice is excellent—and, well, we’re lucky ! Kclr in. Many, many years ago Niles applied at tin gates of our institu- tion of learning for admission into its secret portals. This was granted to him and he was so delighted with the beauties of the place that he has remained here o:T and on ever since. Niles looked over all the graduating classes as they came along and with great discretion selected the finest, that of I'.lln. with which he elected to graduate, lie has a fondness for roving about the building and is one of the fixtures in the library. lie insists, moreover, upon being called Niles Eddy and not Kddy Niles. MILTON ELMKNDORF. “MICKEY” Mickey is a nice, big, good-nat- ured boy who likes all the teachers and they all like him. lie has an excellent tenor voice which he dis- plays in (he Glee Club whenever necessary. llis forte lies in his drawings and his clever work may be seen within the pages of this book and also in the 1 index. “Mickey” likes the girls only when necessary and seems to ignore the fact that lie makes a great hit with the ladies. Some day he will be known as Elmira's “Zim”. Alpha Zita. Reception Committee, hiNn Itool: Committee. LOUISE ELSTON. This young Miss hails from River- side school aud has become a Senior via No. 3 school. She has aspira- tions to be an elocutionist and is very clever with her pen when an English paper is called for or a peti- tion to be written in German. Her ambitions lie intellectually towards being a teacher and so you may be sure good things are coming to her all right.
