For four long weary years, Agnes, like a princess in a fairy tale, has been faith- ful and true to her knight, and has been waiting, fondly waiting for him. And we know she will not be disappointed, for cannot Agnes, our Delphian oracle, see far into the future and know things that are to be ? With her extensive know- ledge of the Sibyl’s doings and her ability as a writer, is it any wonder Agnes was chosen «asour prophetess? Class Prophet. WIIJJAM “SPEED HARTNETT “bill Oh what may man within him hide Though angel on the outicard side.'' Now that’s just the question. What does “Bill hide within him? Surely he is not always so slow and dignified. Our only advice is that if you must be slow in other things, don’t be so slow in smiling at the numerous girls who are just crazy about your wavy hair. Business Manager of Class Book. Glee Club, Treasurer of Athletic Council. MIEDRED HAVENS She is of so free, so kind, so apt, so blessed a disposition. From the moment that this clever girl stepped within the portals of E. F. A., she has attained such fearfully dizzy heights in her standings that it makes our heads reel to think of them. Nevertheless she’s not a bit proud of her learning, but walks humbly in the path that leads to know- ledge. Besides Mildred never fails to give her less brilliant friends a boost over the rough places. and she drags many from the “Slough of Despond. We fear that this maiden has more thrilling adventures than are good for her health. There is a rumor afloat concerning one. of the dime novel style, which they say happened at 12.48 at a place where such things usually occur, a gate. For complete details we refer you to Mildred herself who will be more than willing to enlighten you on the subject. Class Historian, Girls Debating Team, V a ledictoria n. AEEYN P. HOFFMAN red’’ “brick” I have no 7vords.'' To look at his picture you would not thi.ik he was bashful but you should see the roses mount in his cheeks when a girl speaks to him. Some foot ball player though—a regular stone wall. Then too the little touches of comedy are enough to crack any one’s face. We are sure “Brick s bashful smile is bound, by some hook or crook, to catch n maiden some time.— Good luck. Foot Ball Team.

 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.

JIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIimillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIHIIII JOSEPH HOGAN “joe “ Then I'll sit and sleep . Joe’s interest in his classes has lost his reputation for him especially in Physics. One day he wandered with Alice in Won- derland. .Since then “Sleepy Sid has been Mr. Cady’s constant care. Joe has one redeeming: feature however and that is his laugh. Stick to it Joe and you will show 'em after all. MURIEI, ISZARD A most excellent accomplished lady. All those who have seen Muriel in the role of the love lorn Anna May in the min- strels need no introduction, but for the benefit of those few w’ho lost the oppor- tunity we desire to present this talented girl. No wonder her services were needed to make the Class Play a success. Al- though it may seem improbable for one who is so ardent an admirer of the stage, yet Muriel is very like a Quakeress in her tastes, and we often hear her proudly allude to her Quaker ancestors md her desire to be like them. Muriel is earnest and enthusiastic and never does anything half way. Its always with her whole heart or not at all. If you ever need cheer- ing up just go sit with Muriel and be “mothered’’ for a while. She's worth more than any medicine. Senior Play. Honor Minstrels. FREDERIC F.

Class Play. I = 'nmmii n i n in | |M,. ..................... MIEDRED JONES “mil” ”Not to know me is to argue yourself unknown. 1 They say that a rolling stone gathers no moss but it gathers lots of polish. Now that is exactly what “Mil” does. She flits around constantly thereby losing perfect- ly good time for study, but in her flitting she makes lots of friends. A dazzling smile here and a sympathetic giggle, that is the way she speeds through the world. And let me tell you that this rapidly made path is shocking in the number of broken hearts it contains. For those bewitching little curls of hers are enough to break hearts and with the smiles-why it’sawful! Class Book Board.
