B.Oy we are afraid Aeneas may get the mitten. We also fear that leap year has turned Helen's head and desire to warn all shy maidens to avoid this period of ex- citement. With all her brillancy some- thing has been whispered in our ears to the effect that she dislikes greatly to im- part her knowledge and lend her papers to less shining lights, but of course we don't believe this. Salutatorian. LOUISE FRIDIE “louise” ‘4 Oh ! How qu iet a nd shy a nd still. ’' Allow me to introduce to you the most quiet girl in E. K. A. .She is absolutely guaranteed to say less than a hundred words a day and is often known to keep her own counsel for an hour at a time. Do you wonder that we are proud of this wonderful girl ? And her silence is bene- ficial for she is one of the stars of the class, so we advise more of the feminine sex to adopt her way of doing. = a CHARLES FRIEDMAN 5 “chuck” “Behold! IVe have before us a man, a a spirit. And it is true, ever since “Chuck has been a Freshman, school spirit seems to a have been fused into him so deeply that every defeat and victory has been a personal affair for him to grieve or rejoice over. Although he does consider the school so highly there is one part of it he seems absolutely to disdain, and that is, the fairer sex. We would like to see him a more all-around man and hope this will a be a word to the wise. DANIEL K. FURHMAN “dan Peace ! Ho Let us stay and hear Da n, most noble Dan. Daniel K’s world revolves about one and only one word—argumentation. If this sounds incredible just corner Dan'1 anywhere, he don't care, he don't care,” move the right peg, and like Pega- sus he's off like a flash with a dash and a crash, and soars into the realms of oratory. We hear he intends becoming a lawyer. So we recommend him right now as a competent pleader in any cause, if persistancy has any weight Dan will be “ritfht there with the goods. That is the reason we cannot solve the problem why Dido, the Sibyl and all ‘ Virgilian creatures elude this tenacious youth, but then of course women always have been elusive beings, at least so it seems in Daniel K’s case.

 frf:derick c. dvhi “deutsch “ Having such a blessing in bis lady, He finds the joy of Heaven here on earth.'' 'How beautiful is outh ”—and love! The vow of Kin Arthur s Knights to“love one maid only, cleave to her. and worship her by years of noble deeds’’ is fitly lived up to by our friend Duhl. He is one of the old Round-table come back to earth. He makes the rest of us feel like the prov- erbial thirty cents, tor we can't cleave” to the same maid for more than a month- But Dulil—ye Gods ! Hecan act’ too,-for as Carter, the coach, in the senior play, he was a wonder. But he doesn't need any coaching on this cleaving” business (Oh you butcher !) Basket Ball Team. Class Play.

If you doubt our word you just watch Peg do the Boston” or manage the afore- said eyes. Many a brawn laddie has succumbed to the wiles of this coquette, for who could withstand the glances from such a well operated pair of brown eyes? Oh, there's lots of trouble in a pair of eyes.” Right here we’d like to recommend Esther as a competent instructor to all who pine for cunning ways. We hear she intends becoming a nurse. But beware her, oh ye men, or you’ll leave her care with a worse illness than you entered it. Invitation Committee. MILDRED ELLIS mim” “ These delights, if thou can'st give Mirth, with thee I mean to live.'' Well, “Mim,” how many dates did you have last week? Seven or eight? There now don’t let us get you going. You know and we know we’d do the same if we could make a hit. Making a hit is Mini’s” long suit. With her ready smile and kind heart she wins friends every- where. I’index Board. MARY ELIZABETH DENTON “lizzie?” ” To those who know thee not, no 7vords can paint! And those who kno7c thee, kno7v all 7vords are faint. Did you ever see a quotation fit a person so exactly as this fits Mary? It would be hard to explain why you look up to her so and depend so much on her judgment, you just do, for her thoughts seem to jump to the right side of a question. We anticipate great things from her in the future, for with all those brains we know she is going to be something wonderful. At any rate, some day we expect to say with pride “why I graduated from dear old E. F. A. with her.” President of girls Athletic Association. Senior Picnic Committee.

 a E = GERTRUDE GEISER “gert” To mourn a mischief that is past and gone Is the next way to draw new mischief on. Gert” doesn't seem to need to mourn the past mischief in order to find some new. The next thing she really ought not to do appears before the last is finish- ed. She has a flow of eloquence ever at hand, equal to ’’Old Faithful” himself. “Gert” has two other great accomplish- ments. giggling and always having her lessons without ever seeming to study. This last is an art we would all like to ac- quire and we think “Gert” could make a fortune by giving a course of lectures tell- ing of her discoveries along that line. GRETA GIBSON “gibbie” “Such a dancer Where men have souls or bodies she must answer.” “ Gee. ain’t it great to be popular ! How well we all like “Gib” with her ready grin and funny snort. Her greatest fads are Physical Geography Class and studying in Room II. third period. It is rumored that she even dropped a subject in order to obtain this last joy. Greta is very regular in her attendance at school and is very set against skipping; if it were not for this fact we'd consider her a pretty good sport. Banquet Committee. = = = DONALD N. GILBERT “don” He's the leader of the ba nd. Don “Sousa” Gilbert—the far-famed leader of the notorious E. F. A. band and composer of the “Fish Dance. which is reputed to have drawn tears from the shade of Orpheus himself, equally well known as a minstrel monologist, musical organizer and Virgil shark—has probably done as much to make our glorious class stand in the shining lime light of publicity before future generations as any other of our classmates. GERTRUDE GOLDBERG “GERTRUDE” Of an argif yin' mind To do Gertrude justice would be to use a whole lot more paper than this little space but we will do our best with what we have. She is a genius for remembering anything that sounds like a date and is a French student after Miss Daggett's own heart (and that means something !) And be- sides all this brillance, she is a delightful school mate and for the good of future English classes we advise Gertrude to take up argumentation as a profession and to write a book on it.
