HAROLD BOARDMAN “ In thy face I see the map Of honor, truth and loyalty.' Always bent on some deed of kindness, always looking out for anothers comfort, and always winning honors in some tournament, should not Harold have been born in the days of King Arthur? Ah, he would have made indeed a true, faithful knight of the Round Table. On his shield would have been emblazoned great deeds of his prowess and all the country side would have rung with praises, for this noble knight. After he had shown his skill in the athletic games many a time and oft, the Queen of Love and Beauty would have placed on his brow the victor 's wreath. This does not mean that we would be glad had Harold lived centuries ago, for we are only too happy to claim this fine young fellow as a member of the illustrious class of 1912. Class Play Committee. Glee Club. V GLADYS BROMLEY “ Thy honeyed wot ds sooth many souls. Gladys is one of those persons that are indispensible to a community. She's always ready to aid some poor mortal by her soft words and to console the lovelorn laddies. The moment a new individual appears on the horizon, Gladys promptly takes him under her motherly wing and pilots him about. We find she has a great weakness for small rural places, such as Wai' and we predict for her a quiet life e of these favorite resorts of hers. Senio... Party Committee. Mgr. Girls Bas- ket Ball Team. s HENRY O. BRIGGS “chicken'’ “ 7uitch sweet ladies with my words and looks. E Just a few words of vivid description about Henry. He has the mein and bear- ing of a soldier, the eyes of a cherub and the smile of a man in love. Oh ! no Henry's not in love. Merely very popular with the fair sex. that's all. They do say, however, that he's had four proposals this year. But. of course, he very modestly denies every one of them. We predict a great career for Henry as a Congressman or a high military officer. Picnic Committee. E = RUTH BUCK “buckie” Learning by study must be won ’ Twas ne'er entailed from son to son. Yes, that surely is “Buckies motto and to this end she grinds and grinds. She is especially brillant in Virgil where her perfeet prose and clever explanations of syntax make even Mr. Parker green with envy. (Now, Ruthie don't be sore. Some one who doesn't know you very well may swallow it all.) Ruth tries to be strong minded and would like to attend a men's college. She will probably never accomp- lish this end, as she will not be able to de- cide between Lehigh and Union. Senior Class Play.

ROBERT T. BICKFORD bob” A flattering painter who made it his care. To draw men as they ought to be not as they are. Not only is Bob'' an artist of ability, but he is an actor also. With his cane, monocule and funny Ah Peter , he made some hit in the Senior play. We've always thought that somewhere, way down under. Bob was a good sport, but he'd never let us really find out till now, that our surmise was true. But that is just what Senior year is for to make us to realize what peaches” all the other Seniors are. Art Editor of Class Book and Vindex. Class Play. Arbor Day Committee. RAYMOND BENNETT. ray” “No maid need smile at him. We always thought Ray was a quiet boy with wavy hair and dreamy eyes, who gave strictest attention in his classes and never dared smile at a girl but he has surprised us this year. As a love maker in the class play he proved a wonderful success and he has even been sent out of class for disorder. But then when we remember that seeing every show that comes to town is his hobby we can understand some of these traits of char- acter. The Eord” who sits in front of him in algebra says his whistling concerts of popular music are most rare and enter- taining We only hope this most loyal worker for the good of E. F. A. and the class of 1912 may ever be as happy and even go whistling through life with so much success. Class Play. DON CARROEE BIJSS, JR. ‘‘Knowledge is more than equivalent to force. French is his hobby and Virgil his past- time. Sometimes he is suspected of bluffing in French class but we durst not accuse him of it. He certainly must grind some, although naturally bright. He makes himself a minus quantity ex- cept when his presence is required. He soars to elevations far beyond the reach of us poor mortals and whispers downwards in c uncil advice which he has found in his extensive soaring. ABE E- BERNSTEIN ‘ ABE” “Blow Blow! Blow! What would .Senior meeting be without a speech from this gifted youth ? In spite of his efforts we would all go to sleep, if Abe did not come to the rescue with one of his startling plans for our consider- ation. He is a great business man, too. and how much news he always knows. If you want to know some excitement go to “Abe”, for he is so good hearted he would hate to disappoint you. and you'll hear something worth listening to.

It is lucky that some of those bubbling spirits of hers can ripple away through your finger tips in m er ry j i n gl i ng t u nes or—wel 1, v e won Idn t answer for the consequences. Look out. Ruth, or you'll go off some day in a burst of laughtt r With such sparkling eye?, such merry laughter. and with such ability as a player is it any wonder Ruth is liked by one and all ? Arbor Day Committee RALPH M. CISCOE. 5 “SMILER” “ Where eloquence commands the gushing tear He grins. In short, whale'er the time or place, Do as he may the grin still marks his E face. I Although you may not believe it from this picture, still Ralph claims the original “smile that won’t come off. ” (He was afraid he’d break the camera if he let it out E full blast. Hence, this serious look.) You just watch him though when he greets his lady love or hears the word candy. Then, oh, then it emerges from its hiding place. We have often wondered where on earth he tucks it away, but “Smiler always has had a genius for wonderful achievements. The saying is “that the most manifest sign of wisdom is continued cheerfulness.’’ So E now, we see through “Smiler’s ” schemes E It is needless to say that this is only cue of S his many charms, for who does not know that Ralph can draw “jest simply grand’’ and that when it comes to entertaining he—well, does that “jest simply grand too?

He is a debonair youth, good looking, as you see. and the matinee-idol of the E. F. A. girls.

She is very lively, and especially with her pretty blue eyes and adorable mouth. Because of those pretty blue eyes and that adorable mouth, the above admonition is given to all chaps that «are susceptible to charms of that kind. = = = = ....................................................................................................................................................................................................................
